FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new MCP resource definition in TypeScript?▼

To scaffold an MCP resource definition, describe the desired resource to generate a skeleton file at src/mcp-server/resources/definitions/{{resource-name}}.resource.ts, complete with validated parameters and a pure handler.

What is the best way to expose data via a URI endpoint for MCP agents?▼

Exposing data via a URI endpoint for agents requires creating an MCP resource definition. This provides a readable, testable surface and automatically registers the endpoint in createApp() for tool access.

How do I register a new MCP resource so tools and prompts can access it?▼

Registering an MCP resource involves adding the definition file under the resources directory and ensuring it is registered in createApp(), making the URI endpoint available to other tools and prompts.

Can I use zod to validate parameters when creating an MCP resource definition?▼

Yes, you can use zod to validate parameters when creating an MCP resource definition. The scaffolding process enforces parameter descriptions with zod to ensure a pure, testable handler.

Does scaffolding an MCP resource definition follow specific project file placement rules?▼

Scaffolding an MCP resource definition strictly enforces file placement under src/mcp-server/resources/definitions/{{resource-name}}.resource.ts, adhering to the structural guidance specified in CLAUDE.md.

When do I need to create a structured data endpoint using an MCP resource?▼

You need to create a structured data endpoint using an MCP resource when you want to expose specific data via a URI endpoint, providing a readable and testable surface for agents and tools.
