python
combine_lifespans(*lifespans: Callable[[AppT], AbstractAsyncContextManager[Mapping[str, Any] | None]]) -> Callable[[AppT], AbstractAsyncContextManager[dict[str, Any]]]

Combine multiple lifespans into a single lifespan.

Useful when mounting FastMCP into FastAPI and you need to run both your app's lifespan and the MCP server's lifespan.

Works with both FastAPI-style lifespans (yield None) and FastMCP-style lifespans (yield dict). Results are merged; later lifespans override earlier ones on key conflicts.

Lifespans are entered in order and exited in reverse order (LIFO).

Args:

  • *lifespans: Lifespan context manager factories to combine.

Returns:

  • A combined lifespan context manager factory.
