Resource template functionality.

Functions

extract_query_params <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L39" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
extract_query_params(uri_template: str) -> set[str]

Extract query parameter names from RFC 6570 {?param1,param2} syntax.

build_regex <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L47" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
build_regex(template: str) -> re.Pattern[str] | None

Build regex pattern for URI template, handling RFC 6570 syntax.

Supports:

  • {var} - simple path parameter
  • {var*} - wildcard path parameter (captures multiple segments)
  • {?var1,var2} - query parameters (ignored in path matching)

Returns None if the template produces an invalid regex (e.g. parameter names with hyphens, leading digits, or duplicates from a remote server).

match_uri_template <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L79" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
match_uri_template(uri: str, uri_template: str) -> dict[str, str] | None

Match URI against template and extract both path and query parameters.

Supports RFC 6570 URI templates:

  • Path params: {var}, {var*}
  • Query params: {?var1,var2}

expand_uri_template <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L112" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
expand_uri_template(uri_template: str, params: dict[str, Any]) -> str

Expand a URI template with parameters — inverse of match_uri_template.

Supports the same RFC 6570 subset:

  • Path params: {var}, {var*}
  • Query params: {?var1,var2}

ResourceTemplate <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L144" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

A template for dynamically creating resources.

Methods:

python
from_function(fn: Callable[..., Any], uri_template: str, name: str | None = None, version: str | int | None = None, title: str | None = None, description: str | None = None, icons: list[Icon] | None = None, mime_type: str | None = None, tags: set[str] | None = None, annotations: Annotations | None = None, meta: dict[str, Any] | None = None, task: bool | TaskConfig | None = None, auth: AuthCheck | list[AuthCheck] | None = None) -> FunctionResourceTemplate

python
read(self, arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> str | bytes | ResourceResult

Read the resource content.

convert_result <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L220" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
convert_result(self, raw_value: Any) -> ResourceResult

Convert a raw result to ResourceResult.

This is used in two contexts:

  1. In _read() to convert user function return values to ResourceResult
  2. In tasks_result_handler() to convert Docket task results to ResourceResult

Handles ResourceResult passthrough and converts raw values using ResourceResult's normalization.

create_resource <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L284" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

python
create_resource(self, uri: str, params: dict[str, Any]) -> Resource

Create a resource from the template with the given parameters.

The base implementation does not support background tasks. Use FunctionResourceTemplate for task support.

python
to_mcp_template(self, **overrides: Any) -> SDKResourceTemplate

Convert the resource template to an SDKResourceTemplate.

python
add_to_docket(self, docket: Docket, params: dict[str, Any], **kwargs: Any) -> Execution

Schedule this template for background execution via docket.

FunctionResourceTemplate splats the params dict since .fn expects **kwargs.

  • task_key: Redis storage key for the result
  • **kwargs: Additional kwargs passed to docket.add()
