MCP Resources

Resources are read-only data endpoints that expose structured information about the authenticated individual. Unlike tools, resources do not perform actions or side effects - they return the current state of a data object. For transport and connection setup, see the MCP overview.

Tools vs Resources

Reading a Resource

Use the resources/read JSON-RPC method with the resource URI. The server returns the resource contents scoped to the authenticated individual.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "resources/read",
  "params": {
    "uri": "member://profile"
  }
}

Discovering Resources

Call resources/list to discover all available resources and their URI patterns.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "resources/list",
  "params": {}
}

Available Resources

3 resources are available, all scoped to the authenticated individual.
