The get_greeting resource from the quickstart guide is not available to Claude Desktop

[evgenyneu]

I followed the Quickstart guide and registered the server with Claude desktop (with the fixes to Claude config I made here #425).

After restarting Claude I can see the new "Demo" MCP tool to add the numbers and it works. However, it's not clear how to test the get_greeting resource from Claude Desktop.

@mcp.resource("greeting://{name}")
def get_greeting(name: str) -> str:
    """Get a personalized greeting"""
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

I do see this resource in MCP Inspector (Under "Resource Templates" and not under "Resources") and it works:

How do I make get_greeting avaiable to Claude Desktop?

@evgenyneu I was wondering the same. I imagine custom clients may be the only way.

Got the exact same problem right now and looking for help. I can access resources without "variables" but when they are in Resource Templates they are not available inside Claude Client.

Same issue with the MCP inspector. Essentially dynamic prompts seem not to be supported?

Hi everyone,

If you can get Claude Desktop to work with static resources, could you please help me with this issue of MCP resources
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much

Resources should be available via the + dropdown in the text field at the bottom of a Claude Desktop chat.
