### `ResourceTemplate` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L52"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>


A template for dynamically creating resources.


**Methods:**

#### `from_function` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L69"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

```python
from_function(fn: Callable[..., Any], uri_template: str, name: str | None = None, description: str | None = None, mime_type: str | None = None, tags: set[str] | None = None, enabled: bool | None = None) -> FunctionResourceTemplate
```

#### `set_default_mime_type` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L90"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></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/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L96"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

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

Check if URI matches template and extract parameters.


#### `to_mcp_template` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L124"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

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

Convert the resource template to an MCPResourceTemplate.


#### `from_mcp_template` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L135"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

```python
from_mcp_template(cls, mcp_template: MCPResourceTemplate) -> ResourceTemplate
```

Creates a FastMCP ResourceTemplate from a raw MCP ResourceTemplate object.


#### `key` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L148"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

```python
key(self) -> str
```

The key of the component. This is used for internal bookkeeping
and may reflect e.g. prefixes or other identifiers. You should not depend on
keys having a certain value, as the same tool loaded from different
hierarchies of servers may have different keys.


### `FunctionResourceTemplate` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/resources/template.py#L158"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

from_function(cls, fn: Callable[..., Any], uri_template: str, name: str | None = None, description: str | None = None, mime_type: str | None = None, tags: set[str] | None = None, enabled: bool | None = None) -> FunctionResourceTemplate
```
