MCP Resources and Prompts

[pattobrien]

MCP Resources and Prompts are being implemented by various popular AI IDEs and CLI tools (e.g. VSCode Copilot, Claude Code, Claude Desktop). I would point to VSCode specifically as my personal favorite implementation of both MCP features.

Some notable use cases under this (rather large) feature umbrella could be:

• allow Prompts to be triggered via slash-commands
• allow Resources to be attached to context window via similar slash-commands (in VSCode it uses "@" prefix, rather than "/" for resources)
• display all attached Resources as e.g. chip components in the chat UI, with the resource name/title
• allow Tool results to add Resources to the context window

I'm quite familiar with the MCP spec, as well as its implementation in the major MCP clients, so let me know what other details you'd like - more than happy to help.

i think the idea is great ❤️
however, how about agent-zero style, where we could have a "MCP creator" agent, with single- / multi-shot prompt, that could dynamically create local MCP servers? and for context, it should invoke a "web search agent" (configurable please, i run SearXNG docker / podman container, no apikey required) that searches for relevant info on how to implement an API or CLI tool call, and then pass the compiled context back to the MCP creator agent, which then writes the MCP config file and sends the tool definition to the parent agent.

I would also love this. Absolutely underrated Claude code feature imo is including MCP resources in rules. Syntax is simple, and it allows remote updating rules for companies or open source projects. Pretty neat!

Example we have in our rules:

## WordPress
- Use @wordpress-dev-docs:wordpress://rules/base as your wordpress base coding rule
- Use @wordpress-dev-docs:wordpress://rules/quality_assurance_phpstan as guideline when working with phpstan in wordpress context
- Use @wordpress-dev-docs:wordpress://rules/quries as guideline when creating wordpress queries

+1 to this, would make opencode immensely more usable for folks whose dev workflows are often guided by custom prompts/commands

I'd love to have the support for prompts and resources. ❤️

I'd +1 the slash-command for prompts and at-sign for resource reference.

I'm making a MCP server for storing prompts and I have noticed that woefully few MCP client/host implementations support those capabilities. I'd be very happy if I could use my MCP server one day with Opencode. In any case it would definitely open new possibilities for Opencode as well.

Huge +1 here.

My team has created an internal MCP server that we're using to share resources, prompts, and tools for all our devs under a single, authenticated, HTTP endpoint. We don't want to commit "common prompts" into all our repositories. We don't want to make devs copy/paste large prompts from some Confluence page. Exposing them via an MCP has worked well.

I have a personal mcp server just for the purpose of sharing prompts across different tools.

would be great if opencode could have those as slash commands the same way avante.nvim and other do
