DereferenceRefsMiddleware

Dereferences $ref in component schemas before sending to clients. Some MCP clients (e.g., VS Code Copilot) don’t handle JSON Schema refproperly.Thismiddlewareinlinesallref properly. This middleware inlines all ref definitions so schemas are self-contained. Enabled by default via FastMCP(dereference_schemas=True). Methods:
