Link resource to MCP docs (or leave it to me--I'll get it in a polishing pass).

MCP servers can serve resources to clients.
They can register resources individually, or register a _resource template_
that uses a URI pattern to describe a collection of resources.


**Client-side**:
Call [`ClientSession.ReadResource`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.ReadResource)
to read a resource.
The SDK ensures that a read succeeds only if the URI matches a registered resource exactly,
or matches the URI pattern of a resource template.

To list a server's resources and resource templates, use the
[`ClientSession.Resources`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.Resources)
and
[`ClientSession.ResourceTemplates`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.ResourceTemplates)
iterators, or the lower-level `ListXXX` calls (see [pagination](#pagination)).
Set
[`ClientOptions.ResourceListChangedHandler`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientOptions.ResourceListChangedHandler)
to be notified of changes in the lists of resources or resource templates.

Clients can be notified when the contents of a resource changes by subscribing to the resource's URI.
Call
[`ClientSession.Subscribe`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.Subscribe)
to subscribe to a resource
and
[`ClientSession.Unsubscribe`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientSession.Unsubscribe)
to unsubscribe.
Set
[`ClientOptions.ResourceUpdatedHandler`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ClientOptions.ResourceUpdatedHandler)
to be notified of changes to subscribed resources.

**Server-side**:
Use
[`Server.AddResource`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#Server.AddResource)
or
[`Server.AddResourceTemplate`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#Server.AddResourceTemplate)
to add a resource or resource template to the server along with its handler.
A
[`ResourceHandler`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ResourceHandler)
maps a URI to the contents of a resource, which can include text, binary data,
or both.
If `AddResource` or `AddResourceTemplate` is called before a server is connected, the server will have the
`resources` capability.
The server will have the `resources` capability if any resource or resource template is added before the
server is connected to a client, or if
[`ServerOptions.HasResources`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp#ServerOptions.HasResources)
is explicitly set. When a prompt is added, any clients already connected to the
server will be notified via a `notifications/resources/list_changed`
notification.

}
return &mcp.ReadResourceResult{
Contents: []*mcp.ResourceContents{{URI: uri, Text: c}},
}, nil

if err != nil {

fmt.Println(res.Contents[0].Text)

}
// Output:
// file:///a
// file:///dir/{f}
