Prompts & Resources

The Rad TV MCP server provides prompts (guided workflow templates) and resources (structured data) for agents.

Prompts

Prompts guide agents through common workflows. List them with prompts/list and get one with prompts/get.

List Prompts

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "prompts/list"
}

Available Prompts

Prompt	Description
`create_content_and_upload`	Step-by-step guide to create content, create an asset, and upload a file
`publish_video_workflow`	Guide to publish a video (URL mode or local file mode)
`follow_a_channel`	Guide to follow a channel by DID

Get a Prompt

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "prompts/get",
  "params": {
    "name": "publish_video_workflow"
  }
}

Returns a structured prompt with instructions for the agent to follow, including which tools to call and in what order.

Resources

Resources provide structured data that agents can read.

Recommended bootstrap: `rad-tv://manifest`

For most clients, the best starting point is to read rad-tv://manifest once at startup. It’s a machine-readable catalog that tells you which tools exist (with JSON Schema inputs), which rad-tv:// resources can be read, and which endpoints to use.

List Resources

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "resources/list"
}

Available Resources

URI	Description
`rad-tv://manifest`	Full catalog: product name, API semver, `protocolVersion`, every tool with JSON Schema `inputSchema`, `resourceIndex` (static + template URIs), prompts, and `endpoints` (`graphql`, `mcp`, `llmsTxt`)
`rad-tv://me`, `rad-tv://channels/mine`, …	Read-only JSON slices (identity, channel, catalog, YouTube, etc.); see `GET /llms.txt` MCP section for the full list
URI templates	e.g. `rad-tv://channels/{channelId}/content`, `rad-tv://content/{contentId}/comments` — listed via `resources/templates/list`

Read a Resource

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "resources/read",
  "params": {
    "uri": "rad-tv://manifest"
  }
}

Returns a JSON document whose tools array includes name, description, and inputSchema per tool, plus resourceIndex, prompts, and endpoints.

The rad-tv://manifest resource is the primary bootstrap for agents — it describes tools with schemas, lists readable URIs, and links to GraphQL and llms.txt.

What’s in `resourceIndex`

resourceIndex includes both:

Static URIs: e.g. rad-tv://me, rad-tv://channels/mine, rad-tv://catalog/ratings
URI templates: e.g. rad-tv://channels/{channelId}/content, rad-tv://content/{contentId}/comments

Auth notes

Most rad-tv:// resources require Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Public resources include rad-tv://catalog/ratings and rad-tv://catalog/genres.

Typical client flow

resources/read → rad-tv://manifest
Choose a tool or resource URI (or fill a URI template with IDs)
tools/call (for actions) or resources/read (for read-only data)
