629 | } 630 | For other handlers, throw an error, so the application can notify the user: 631 | 632 | 633 | try { 634 | const response = await this.axiosInstance.get(...); 635 | } catch (error) { 636 | if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { 637 | throw new McpError( 638 | ErrorCode.InternalError, 639 | `Weather API error: ${error.response?.data.message}` 640 | ); 641 | } 642 | throw error; 643 | } 644 | Type Validation 645 | 646 | function isValidForecastArgs(args: any): args is GetForecastArgs { 647 | return ( 648 | typeof args === "object" && 649 | args !== null && 650 | "city" in args && 651 | typeof args.city === "string" 652 | ); 653 | } 654 | You can also use libraries like Zod to perform this validation automatically. 655 | ​ 656 | Available transports 657 | While this guide uses stdio to run the MCP server as a local process, MCP supports other transports as well. 658 | 659 | ​ 660 | Troubleshooting 661 | The following troubleshooting tips are for macOS.

Concepts Resources 2047 | 2048 | 5.73 KB •209 lines 2049 | • 2050 | Formatting may be inconsistent from source 2051 | Concepts 2052 | Resources 2053 | Expose data and content from your servers to LLMs 2054 | 2055 | Resources are a core primitive in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allow servers to expose data and content that can be read by clients and used as context for LLM interactions. 2056 | 2057 | Resources are designed to be application-controlled, meaning that the client application can decide how and when they should be used. Different MCP clients may handle resources differently. For example: 2058 | 2059 | Claude Desktop currently requires users to explicitly select resources before they can be used 2060 | Other clients might automatically select resources based on heuristics 2061 | Some implementations may even allow the AI model itself to determine which resources to use 2062 | Server authors should be prepared to handle any of these interaction patterns when implementing resource support. In order to expose data to models automatically, server authors should use a model-controlled primitive such as Tools. 2063 | 2064 | ​ 2065 | Overview 2066 | Resources represent any kind of data that an MCP server wants to make available to clients. This can include: 2067 | 2068 | File contents 2069 | Database records 2070 | API responses 2071 | Live system data 2072 | Screenshots and images 2073 | Log files 2074 | And more 2075 | Each resource is identified by a unique URI and can contain either text or binary data. 2076 | 2077 | ​ 2078 | Resource URIs 2079 | Resources are identified using URIs that follow this format: 2080 | 2081 | 2082 | [protocol]://[host]/[path] 2083 | For example: 2084 | 2085 | file:///home/user/documents/report.pdf 2086 | postgres://database/customers/schema 2087 | screen://localhost/display1 2088 | The protocol and path structure is defined by the MCP server implementation. Servers can define their own custom URI schemes. 2089 | 2090 | ​ 2091 | Resource types 2092 | Resources can contain two types of content: 2093 | 2094 | ​ 2095 | Text resources 2096 | Text resources contain UTF-8 encoded text data. These are suitable for: 2097 | 2098 | Source code 2099 | Configuration files 2100 | Log files 2101 | JSON/XML data 2102 | Plain text 2103 | ​ 2104 | Binary resources 2105 | Binary resources contain raw binary data encoded in base64. These are suitable for: 2106 | 2107 | Images 2108 | PDFs 2109 | Audio files 2110 | Video files 2111 | Other non-text formats 2112 | ​ 2113 | Resource discovery 2114 | Clients can discover available resources through two main methods: 2115 | 2116 | ​ 2117 | Direct resources 2118 | Servers expose a list of concrete resources via the resources/list endpoint. Each resource includes: 2119 | 2120 | 2121 | { 2122 | uri: string; // Unique identifier for the resource 2123 | name: string; // Human-readable name 2124 | description?: string; // Optional description 2125 | mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type 2126 | } 2127 | ​ 2128 | Resource templates 2129 | For dynamic resources, servers can expose URI templates that clients can use to construct valid resource URIs: 2130 | 2131 | 2132 | { 2133 | uriTemplate: string; // URI template following RFC 6570 2134 | name: string; // Human-readable name for this type 2135 | description?: string; // Optional description 2136 | mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type for all matching resources 2137 | } 2138 | ​ 2139 | Reading resources 2140 | To read a resource, clients make a resources/read request with the resource URI. 2141 | 2142 | The server responds with a list of resource contents: 2143 | 2144 | 2145 | { 2146 | contents: [ 2147 | { 2148 | uri: string; // The URI of the resource 2149 | mimeType?: string; // Optional MIME type 2150 | 2151 | // One of: 2152 | text?: string; // For text resources 2153 | blob?: string; // For binary resources (base64 encoded) 2154 | } 2155 | ] 2156 | } 2157 | Servers may return multiple resources in response to one resources/read request. This could be used, for example, to return a list of files inside a directory when the directory is read. 2158 | 2159 | ​ 2160 | Resource updates 2161 | MCP supports real-time updates for resources through two mechanisms: 2162 | 2163 | ​ 2164 | List changes 2165 | Servers can notify clients when their list of available resources changes via the notifications/resources/list_changed notification. 2166 | 2167 | ​ 2168 | Content changes 2169 | Clients can subscribe to updates for specific resources: 2170 | 2171 | Client sends resources/subscribe with resource URI 2172 | Server sends notifications/resources/updated when the resource changes 2173 | Client can fetch latest content with resources/read 2174 | Client can unsubscribe with resources/unsubscribe 2175 | ​ 2176 | Example implementation 2177 | Here’s a simple example of implementing resource support in an MCP server: 2178 | 2179 | TypeScript 2180 | Python 2181 | 2182 | const server = new Server({ 2183 | name: "example-server", 2184 | version: "1.0.0" 2185 | }, { 2186 | capabilities: { 2187 | resources: {} 2188 | } 2189 | }); 2190 | 2191 | // List available resources 2192 | server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => { 2193 | return { 2194 | resources: [ 2195 | { 2196 | uri: "file:///logs/app.log", 2197 | name: "Application Logs", 2198 | mimeType: "text/plain" 2199 | } 2200 | ] 2201 | }; 2202 | }); 2203 | 2204 | // Read resource contents 2205 | server.setRequestHandler(ReadResourceRequestSchema, async (request) => { 2206 | const uri = request.params.uri; 2207 | 2208 | if (uri === "file:///logs/app.log") { 2209 | const logContents = await readLogFile(); 2210 | return { 2211 | contents: [ 2212 | { 2213 | uri, 2214 | mimeType: "text/plain", 2215 | text: logContents 2216 | } 2217 | ] 2218 | }; 2219 | } 2220 | 2221 | throw new Error("Resource not found"); 2222 | }); 2223 | ​ 2224 | Best practices 2225 | When implementing resource support: 2226 | 2227 | Use clear, descriptive resource names and URIs 2228 | Include helpful descriptions to guide LLM understanding 2229 | Set appropriate MIME types when known 2230 | Implement resource templates for dynamic content 2231 | Use subscriptions for frequently changing resources 2232 | Handle errors gracefully with clear error messages 2233 | Consider pagination for large resource lists 2234 | Cache resource contents when appropriate 2235 | Validate URIs before processing 2236 | Document your custom URI schemes 2237 | ​ 2238 | Security considerations 2239 | When exposing resources: 2240 | 2241 | Validate all resource URIs 2242 | Implement appropriate access controls 2243 | Sanitize file paths to prevent directory traversal 2244 | Be cautious with binary data handling 2245 | Consider rate limiting for resource reads 2246 | Audit resource access 2247 | Encrypt sensitive data in transit 2248 | Validate MIME types 2249 | Implement timeouts for long-running reads 2250 | Handle resource cleanup appropriately 2251 | Was this page helpful? 2252 | 2253 | 2254 | Yes 2255 | 2256 | No 2257 | Core architecture 2258 | Prompts 2259 | github 2260 | “””

2913 | } catch (error) { 2914 | if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { 2915 | return { 2916 | content: { 2917 | mimeType: "text/plain", 2918 | text: `Weather API error: ${error.response?.data.message ?? error.message}` 2919 | }, 2920 | isError: true, 2921 | } 2922 | } 2923 | throw error; 2924 | } 2925 | For other handlers, throw an error, so the application can notify the user: 2926 | 2927 | 2928 | try { 2929 | const response = await this.axiosInstance.get(...); 2930 | } catch (error) { 2931 | if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { 2932 | throw new McpError( 2933 | ErrorCode.InternalError, 2934 | `Weather API error: ${error.response?.data.message}` 2935 | ); 2936 | } 2937 | throw error; 2938 | } 2939 | Type Validation 2940 | 2941 | function isValidForecastArgs(args: any): args is GetForecastArgs { 2942 | return ( 2943 | typeof args === "object" && 2944 | args !== null && 2945 | "city" in args && 2946 | typeof args.city === "string" 2947 | ); 2948 | } 2949 | You can also use libraries like Zod to perform this validation automatically. 2950 | ​ 2951 | Available transports 2952 | While this guide uses stdio to run the MCP server as a local process, MCP supports other transports as well. 2953 | 2954 | ​ 2955 | Troubleshooting 2956 | The following troubleshooting tips are for macOS.
