Server Methods

The MCP server provides several methods for managing resources:

listResources

Lists all available resources or resources of a specific type:

getResource

updateResource

Updates an existing resource:

deleteResource

Deletes a resource by its type and ID:

Best Practices

  1. Resource Definition: Define clear schemas for your resources with detailed descriptions and examples
  2. Resource Validation: Always validate resources before registering them with the server
  3. Error Handling: Implement proper error handling for validation failures
  4. Pagination: Use pagination for large resource collections
  5. Documentation: Document your resource types and their schemas for other developers
