Technical summary

FastMCP OpenAPITool calls can drop required request headers from the OpenAPI operation.

Collect OpenAPI header parameters and configured request headers, then pass the merged headers into the generated HTTP request.

The relevant file is openapi.py and the named class is OpenAPITool, so the fix belongs in tool request construction.

The snippet uses native project logic; the incoming request headers are applied to the request object before FastMCP dispatches the tool call. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import fastmcp; print('smoke test OK')"
