# `fastmcp.resources.template`


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)

Hyphens in parameter names are normalized to underscores in regex group
names so that matched groups are valid Python identifiers.

Returns None if the template produces an invalid regex (e.g. parameter
names with 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#L84" 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#L123" 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}`


## Classes

### `ResourceTemplate` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L163" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


A template for dynamically creating resources.


**Methods:**

#### `from_function` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L190" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```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
```

#### `set_default_mime_type` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L223" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
set_default_mime_type(cls, mime_type: str | None) -> str
```

Set default MIME type if not provided.


#### `matches` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L229" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
matches(self, uri: str) -> dict[str, Any] | None
```

Check if URI matches template and extract parameters.


#### `read` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L233" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```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#L239" 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#L303" 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.


#### `to_mcp_template` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L314" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

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

Convert the resource template to an SDKResourceTemplate.

```

Creates a FastMCP ResourceTemplate from a raw MCP ResourceTemplate object.

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

- `fn_key`: Function lookup key in Docket registry (defaults to self.key)
- `task_key`: Redis storage key for the result
