FastAPI Project Scaffolding

About

This skill streamlines the creation of FastAPI backend applications by providing standardized templates ranging from minimal prototypes to full-stack microservices. It enforces industry best practices like Pydantic-based configuration, structured directory patterns, and dual-mode MCP server support. By automating the boilerplate setup, it enables developers to bootstrap scalable, maintainable, and type-safe APIs in seconds while ensuring production readiness through included Docker and Nginx configurations.

Key Features

• Multi-template scaffolding for minimal, standard, MCP, and microservice use cases
• Automated project structure generation and validation via CLI scripts
• Type-safe settings management using Pydantic Settings and environment variables
• Dual-mode operation support for FastAPI HTTP and MCP STDIO integration
• Production-grade Docker multi-stage builds and health check patterns
• 0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Building a FastAPI-based MCP server to extend AI model capabilities with custom tools
• Bootstrapping a new microservice architecture with standardized health checks and metrics
• Refactoring a single-file Python prototype into a modular, production-ready directory structure
