Tools, resources & prompts
A first-class MCP server exposes three things. Tools are actions (covered in the data you can query). Resources are addressable, read-only context. Prompts are ready-made analyses. Your BusinessMCP endpoint advertises all three, plus server instructions describing how to use it — everything is scoped and redacted by your key's access policy.
Resources
Read these directly (no tool call) via resources/list then resources/read:
- `businessmcp://snapshot` — a live 30-day analytics + funnel + pipeline snapshot, policy-scoped.
- `businessmcp://sops` — your enabled standard operating procedures, each linking to
businessmcp://sop/{id}for the full body. - `businessmcp://memory` — the compounding knowledge the analyst has learned about your business.
- `businessmcp://brain/{query}` — hybrid search over your durable company knowledge, policy-filtered.
Prompts
Invoke by name via prompts/get. Each seeds a tool-chaining analysis:
- `weekly-growth-review` — traffic, funnel, revenue, SEO and ads, this week vs last.
- `funnel-audit` — find the biggest leak and what to fix first.
- `conversion-optimization` — CRO ideas grounded in heatmaps + replays.
- `seo-opportunities` — striking-distance keywords and quick wins.
- `ad-waste-audit` — wasted spend + audiences to build.
- `session-replay-review` — watch and summarise frustrated sessions.
Using them from a client
Most MCP clients surface resources as attachable context and prompts as slash-commands or templates. In Claude Desktop, connected resources appear in the attachment menu and prompts appear as commands. Point your client at your endpoint (see Connect Claude, GPT & Gemini) and they show up automatically alongside your tools.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a resource and a tool?
A tool is an action the model chooses to call with arguments. A resource is addressable, read-only context the client can attach without a tool call — like a live business snapshot or an SOP. Prompts are ready-made instructions that seed a task.
