When does this happen?
IF Returning an Image object from an MCP tool using the Python SDK's FastMCP results in client-side errors or the image being passed as plain text instead of being rendered in Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.
How others solved it
THEN Upgrade to FastMCP 2.0 (gofastmcp.com), which natively supports image return types by properly encoding images as base64 data. Replace the import from mcp.server.fastmcp with the FastMCP 2.0 library and adjust the return value accordingly. This resolves the incompatibility with Claude Desktop and similar clients.
