# HttpRequestContext

Defined in: [server/httpContext.ts:52](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp-ts/blob/main/src/server/httpContext.ts#L52)

Read-only, per-request snapshot of the HTTP request that carried the current
MCP message. Present wherever the server is reached over an HTTP transport;
`undefined` on stdio.

REDACTION: credential headers (see DEFAULT\_SENSITIVE\_HEADERS, tuned
by `FastMCPOptions.http`) are withheld from `headers` and listed in
`redactedHeaderNames`, so a `null` lookup is never silent. The redaction
guards accidental egress: tool results and logs flow into model context by
design. A `RequestVerifier` receives the FULL wire headers instead (its
`redactedHeaderNames` is empty): the verifier is the credential-handling
code.

TRUST: every value here is client-controlled input. Nothing in this object
is authenticated. Do not derive authorization from it in handlers. For
header-established identity (trusted reverse proxy), configure
`FastMCPOptions.auth` with a `RequestVerifier` so identity flows through
`ctx.auth` like every other authenticated request. See docs:
servers/auth/trusted-proxy.

## Properties

### headers

```ts theme={null}
readonly headers: Headers;
```

Defined in: [server/httpContext.ts:54](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp-ts/blob/main/src/server/httpContext.ts#L54)

Headers of the carrying HTTP request, minus the sensitive set. A per-request copy; mutations affect nothing.

***

### method

```ts theme={null}
readonly method: string;
```

Defined in: [server/httpContext.ts:58](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp-ts/blob/main/src/server/httpContext.ts#L58)

HTTP method of the carrying request (e.g. 'POST').

***

### redactedHeaderNames

```ts theme={null}
readonly redactedHeaderNames: readonly string[];
```

Defined in: [server/httpContext.ts:56](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp-ts/blob/main/src/server/httpContext.ts#L56)

Names (lowercase, sorted) that were present on the wire but withheld from `headers`.

***

### url

```ts theme={null}
readonly url: string;
```

Defined in: [server/httpContext.ts:65](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp-ts/blob/main/src/server/httpContext.ts#L65)

Origin-form request target (path + query, e.g. '/mcp?tenant=a'). Scheme and
authority are deliberately absent: behind a proxy this server cannot know
the external URL. Reconstruct it from your proxy's forwarded headers if you
need it.
