Resources and instructions
Besides tools, the Cashfin MCP server gives your assistant instructions and read-only resources. Most assistants load these automatically. You rarely need to reference them yourself, but they explain why the assistant designs the way it does.
Server instructions
When your assistant connects, Cashfin sends a design and usage guide covering:
- how Cashfin pages, layers, components and CMS collections fit together;
- how to design well: layout templates, spacing, typography, colour and accessibility;
- the Cashfin shop rules: always read the shop context first, use the synced catalogue, never invent products;
- how to publish safely (only when you ask).
