Resource URIs Explained
How resources are addressed with scheme and path.
What a Resource Is
An MCP resource is read-only context your server hands the model, like a file, config, or record. The AI reads it, but never changes it.
Why an Address
Each resource needs a stable name so a client can ask for it by reference. That name is its URI, just like a web page has a URL. 🔗
