# Resources

> List and read MCP server resources

Resources are URI-addressed content from MCP servers.

```typescript theme={null}
import { MCPClient } from "@mcp-use/client";

const client = new MCPClient({
  mcpServers: { demo: { url: "http://localhost:3000/mcp" } },
});

try {
  const conn = await client.connect("demo");

  const resources = await conn.listResources();
  for (const r of resources) {
    console.log(r.uri, r.name, r.mimeType);
  }

  const result = await conn.readResource("file:///config.json");
  for (const content of result.contents) {
    if ("text" in content) console.log(content.text);
  }
} finally {
  await client.close();
}
```

## Resource templates

Parameterized URIs (e.g. `db://users/{id}`) are discovered via `listResourceTemplates()` and read with `readResource(uri)`.

## React

```tsx theme={null}
const server = useMcpServer("demo");
if (server?.state === "ready") {
  const data = await server.readResource(uri);
}
```
