This PR updates the
basic-hostto support MCP Resource Templates. The changes are backward compatible: if a tool provides a static URI, it behaves as before. If it provides a URI template, the host will fill in the parameters before fetching the resource.Why this change?
The current implementation only supports static resources. Supporting Resource Templates allows for Server-Side Rendering (SSR). This simplifies app development because the server can inject data directly into the HTML before it is sent to the host, reducing the need for complex JavaScript inside the app's sandbox.
How to test
You can test this SSR flow using the following sample app:
pizza-carouseltool.topping=vegetarian.ui://widget/pizza-carousel/vegetarian, and render the page showing only vegetarian options.References:
