MCP resources
Persistent context surfaces the MCP server exposes alongside its tools.
In MCP, resources are passive context the agent can read at any time — distinct from tools, which the agent invokes to do something. The Easy Labs MCP server exposes two:
easy://merchant/profile
Your merchant profile: business name, legal name, primary email, website, account status, creation date.
Read by an agent when it needs to ground responses in who the merchant is — useful for personalizing summaries or surfacing the right account context across long conversations.
easy://merchant/summary
A rolled-up snapshot of the merchant's recent activity — totals, counts, status flags. Good for quick orientation ("what's been happening this month?") without forcing the agent to walk every list endpoint.
How agents use resources
MCP-compatible clients typically expose resources as references the user (or the agent) can attach to a conversation. In Claude Desktop, resources show up under the same hammer icon as tools and can be pinned for the duration of a session.
What's missing
Resource surface is intentionally narrow today. The modernization plan keeps it that way — most of the leverage is in expanded tools, not more resources. If you have a use case that argues for new resources, open an issue against easy-mcp.
