# Resources & prompts

> URI-addressable resources and reusable prompt templates exposed by the MCP Patient State server (beta).

<Warning>
  Resources and prompts are in beta and subject to change.
</Warning>

Besides **`tools/*`**, the same **`POST /mcp`** JSON-RPC session supports **resources** (URI-addressable context) and **prompts** (reusable templates). Use the standard MCP method names; auth matches tools (`Authorization: Bearer …`).

| JSON-RPC `method`          | `params`                                                                    | Returns                                                                         |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `resources/list`           | —                                                                           | `{ "resources": [ … ] }` — resource descriptors (`uri`, `name`, …).             |
| `resources/templates/list` | —                                                                           | `{ "resourceTemplates": [ … ] }`                                                |
| `resources/read`           | **`uri`** (required)                                                        | `{ "contents": [ { "uri", "mimeType", "text" } ] }` — typically JSON in `text`. |
| `prompts/list`             | —                                                                           | `{ "prompts": [ … ] }` — prompt names and metadata.                             |
| `prompts/get`              | **`name`** (required), **`arguments`** (optional object, depends on prompt) | Resolved prompt per MCP spec.                                                   |
