Can my AI automatically find the current G-4 of Brasileirão Série A?

Yes! Use the `get_championship_standings` tool with the ID for Série A (e.g., 10). Your agent will respond with the top 4 teams, their points, and current win streaks in seconds.

How do I check the match history between Flamengo and Fluminense?

You can ask the agent to search for both teams to get their IDs and then run `get_team_matches` for either club. It will compile all recorded results, allowing the AI to analyze the head-to-head performance.

Are live scores for State Championships (Estaduais) available?

Absolutely. The `get_live_matches` tool monitors all ongoing professional matches in Brazil covered by your plan, including Paulistão, Carioca, and other state-level competitions.

API-Futebol (Brazilian Football) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating API-Futebol (Brazilian Football) MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
