 Note: Resources are not included in the manifest because MCP resources are inherently dynamic - they represent URIs to data that the server discovers at runtime based on configuration, filesystem state, database connections, etc.

 This helps implementing apps understand that querying the server at runtime will reveal more capabilities than what's declared in the manifest.

+## Static responses
+
+Servers can provide clients with static responses to protocol messages. Static responses let clients short-circuit server startup for discovery or platform integration metadata.
+This is useful to obtain rich tool schema information, server instructions, protocol version that the server supports, etc.
+The `static_responses` object is a dictionary where the key is the name of an MCP JSON-RPC method. For more information, consult the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification).
+
+If both the `tools/list` static response and the `tools` array are present, clients should use the tools described in `tools/list`.
