Not sure if you truly understand Context in MCP (Model Context Protocol)? This video will change everything.
Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible.
We start with a basic idea:
A function is like a temporary worker — it takes input, does the job, and returns output. That’s it. No memory. No awareness.
But with Context in FastMCP, everything changes.
Now your function can:
1. Send logs and progress updates
2. Understand who triggered the request
3. Access tools, prompts, and resources
4. Work with session-level awareness
5. Interact intelligently instead of blindly
It provides:
1. Temporary memory using ctx.state
2. Data sharing between tools
3. Access to all available tools, prompts, and resources
4. Better decision-making with full environment awareness
We also cover:
1. Different ways to access context
2. Best practice using CurrentContext()
3. Real-world understanding of session-aware AI systems
If you're building AI applications with FastMCP, understanding context is a game changer.
