You can easily add as many tools you want:
https://gofastmcp.com/servers/tools

I would be surprised if there is a thing you can't do with FastMCP 2.0+
that you can do with the MCP Python SDK.

Like I said earlier: This is a simplistic example :) but the gist is we
should be using the newer abstractions which I am happy to comment during
the development phase too. Like everything else we need to ensure
maintainability is worth the value we create.
