- **privacy_policies**: Array of URLs to privacy policies for external services that handle user data. Required when the extension connects to external services (first- or third-party) that process user data. Each URL should link to the respective service's privacy policy document
- **compatibility**: Compatibility requirements (client app version, platforms, and runtime versions)
- **user_config**: User-configurable options for the extension (see User Configuration section)
- **static_responses**: A set of static response to protocol messages (for example, `initialize`, `tools/list`, etc.). This allows clients to avoid running a server when a static response is present (e.g. to get the set of tools with their input schemas). For more information, consult the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification).
- **client_extensions**: Platform-specific client integration metadata (e.g., Windows `package_family_name`, macOS bundle identifiers) enabling tighter OS/app store integration

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.
You can provide richer static tools by adding an `tools/list` entry inside the `static_responses` object.
### Static Declaration
For servers with a fixed set of capabilities, list them in arrays.

- **prompts_generated**: Server generates additional prompts beyond those listed (default: false)
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`.
