resources with parameter binding are resource templates not necessarily resources and it's a known issue that they're not being shown on Claude Ui modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk#92 😞
I'm thinking for at least demo purposes to have the searching be tools even though in this instance its getting data and resources are supposed to be used as GET endpoints and tools are more for transformations. I may also be missing something about the difference between the 2.
I've also seen where devs who have built out full MCP servers have just used tools for everything so I don't know if there's really a set precedent here anyways?
It also seems easier to use a tool I've found using plain language like "search my index for documents about x" which I think you can do with resources but you would need to upload the integration json first
