Typing stubs for Flask-Cors
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but with a significant caveat: install this only if you are using Flask-Cors version 6.0.3 or earlier and need type checking support. If your project uses Flask-Cors 6.0.4 or later, uninstall this package as Flask-Cors now includes its own type annotations. For 6.0.3 users, it is worth installing if you use mypy or pyright for static type checking.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Note: Flask-Cors 6.0.4+ includes its own type annotations, making this package unnecessary for newer versions.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on Flask.

Verify before relying
pip install types-Flask-Cors

What it is and what it does
This is a type stub package that provides type annotations for Flask-Cors, allowing static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code that uses the Flask-Cors library. Type stubs are separate packages that define the types and signatures of another library's public API, enabling type checking without modifying the original package.
The package is maintained as part of the typeshed project and targets Flask-Cors version 6.0.3. It has been tested with mypy 2.2.0 and pyright 1.1.411. However, the description notes that Flask-Cors 6.0.4 and later versions include their own type annotations, making this stub package redundant for users on those newer versions.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check Flask-Cors usage in a codebase using Flask-Cors 6.0.3.
- Catch type errors in CORS configuration and decorator usage before runtime.
- Improve IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for Flask-Cors APIs during development.
- Maintain type safety in a fully type-annotated Flask application that uses Flask-Cors.
