What are MCP Resources?

MCP Resources provide AI agents with structured, domain-specific knowledge about Ekso. Unlike tools (which perform actions), resources serve read-only reference content that helps AI agents understand Ekso’s data model, terminology, and workflows. Resources are accessed via the standard MCP resources/list and resources/read methods. Each resource returns Markdown content optimized for AI consumption — concise, structured, and focused on the information an agent needs to use Ekso effectively.

Characteristics

  • Read-only — Resources are purely informational. They do not create, update, or delete any data.
  • Stateless — Each resources/read call returns the full content for that resource. There is no pagination or session state.
  • Markdown content — All resources return Markdown-formatted text designed for AI agent consumption.

​
Usage

AI agents typically read one or more resources at the start of a session to build context about the Ekso domain before invoking tools. For example, an agent might read ekso://guide/item to understand item fields and lifecycle before calling create_item or search_items.
