@resourcexjs/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ResourceX, enabling AI agents to discover, use, and publish AI resources.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables AI models to interact with external tools and data sources. This server exposes ResourceX functionality as MCP tools, allowing AI agents like Claude to manage AI resources (prompts, tools, agents) directly.

Author Tools

add

Add a resource from a local directory to ResourceX storage.

add("./my-prompt")
add("/home/user/prompts/greeting")

Parameters:

• path (string, required): Path to the resource directory containing resource.json.

Returns: Confirmation with the added resource locator.

Required directory structure:

my-prompt/
  resource.json    # Metadata (name, type, tag)
  content          # Resource content file

push

Publish a local resource to a remote registry.

push("my-prompt:1.0.0")                           → Push to default registry
push("my-prompt:1.0.0", "https://registry.com")   → Push to specific registry

Parameters:

• locator (string, required): Locator of the local resource to push.
• registry (string, optional): Target registry URL. Falls back to RESOURCEX_REGISTRY.

Returns: Confirmation with the push destination.

Locator Format

ResourceX uses Go-style locators:

# Local resources (no registry prefix)
name:tag              → hello-prompt:1.0.0
name                  → hello-prompt (defaults to 'latest')

# Remote resources (with registry prefix)
registry/name:tag     → registry.example.com/hello-prompt:1.0.0

Usage Examples

Using Resources

1. search("translator")         → Find available translation resources
2. info("translator:1.0.0")     → Inspect resource details
3. use("translator:1.0.0")      → Execute and get content

Publishing Resources

1. Create resource directory with resource.json
2. add("./my-resource")         → Add to local storage
3. push("my-resource:1.0.0")    → Publish to registry
