Bug

#3455 — Running fastmcp --help displays "FastMCP 2.0" regardless of the installed version, which is confusing on 3.x.

Fix

Replaced the hardcoded "FastMCP 2.0" string in the cyclopts.App help parameter with an f-string that reads fastmcp.__version__ at import time. The version= kwarg already uses fastmcp.__version__, so this just makes the two consistent.

Also updated the test in test_cli.py to assert "FastMCP" is present in the help text without checking a specific version number, matching the existing pattern used for the version attribute.

Testing

Confirmed the help text now shows the actual installed version. The existing test suite passes with the updated assertion.

Happy to address any feedback.

Great catch. However I think the right call here is actually just to say "FastMCP" rather than to make this dynamic.

Looks solid + minimal (and fixes the confusion in #3455).

One small suggestion for the test assertion: instead of only "FastMCP" in app.help, you could assert the help text is actually wired to the dynamic version, e.g. assert app.version in app.help (or fastmcp.__version__ in app.help). That keeps it non-brittle across releases and prevents the original regression (hardcoded 2.0) from sneaking back in.

Changed 'FastMCP 2.0' to 'FastMCP' per maintainer feedback.
Dynamic version via fastmcp.__version__ still available via version flag.

Updated per feedback — the help text now just says "FastMCP" without any version number. Users can still get the version via --version.

@rar-file Thanks for the suggestion about the test assertion. Since we're removing the version from the help string entirely, the test now just checks for "FastMCP" presence which is correct.
