## Technical Implementation Details
### Resource Architecture
The MCP resources are implemented using a clean architecture:
```python
# Resource registration
resources = [
Resource(uri="property://search/examples", ...),
Resource(uri="agent://search/guide", ...),
Resource(uri="workflows://common/patterns", ...),
Resource(uri="prompts://guided/search", ...),
Resource(uri="prompts://guided/analysis", ...),
Resource(uri="api://status/info", ...)
]
# Resource handlers
@server.read_resource()
async def handle_read_resource(uri: str) -> ReadResourceResult:
# Route to appropriate resource method
```
### Content Quality
All resource content is:
- **Comprehensive**: Covers all aspects of the topic
- **Practical**: Includes real-world examples and use cases
- **Educational**: Provides learning context and explanations
- **Actionable**: Offers specific steps and recommendations
### Documentation Standards
All documentation follows:
- **Markdown formatting** for consistency
- **Clear structure** with hierarchical headings
- **Code examples** with proper syntax highlighting
- **Complete coverage** of all features and options
## Resource Content Statistics
