PydanticSchemaGenerationError: Unable to generate pydantic-core schema for Image type

Initial Checks

• I confirm that I'm using the latest version of MCP Python SDK
• I confirm that I searched for my issue in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues before opening this issue

Description

The Image type in question is imported like this: from mcp.server.fastmcp.utilities.types import Image

We are upgrading our dependency on mcp from 1.9.4 to 1.10.1.

Once on 1.10.1 our application and tests began to fail with error like this:

pydantic.errors.PydanticSchemaGenerationError: Unable to generate pydantic-core schema
for <class 'mcp.server.fastmcp.utilities.types.Image'>. Set `arbitrary_types_allowed=True` in
the model_config to ignore this error or implement `__get_pydantic_core_schema__` on your
type to fully support it.

I found a test tool function among this repo's unit tests, that is pretty close to the mixed content
use case in our server. So I tweaked it to create a repro case for you:

test_tool_mixed_content fails with PydanticSchemaGenerationError on 1.10.1 but succeeds on 1.9.4.

Python & MCP Python SDK

Python 3.12, mcp 1.10.1

Start with tests/server/fastmcp/test_server.py, especially test_tool_mixed_content and the mixed_content_tool_fn reproduction. Read the Image type imported from mcp.server.fastmcp.utilities.types and trace how its tuple return annotation is processed under mcp 1.10.1. Done means the mixed-content test passes without PydanticSchemaGenerationError while preserving the expected image and audio content assertions.
