How do I register an application in Crowd?

Log in to the Crowd console as an administrator, navigate to **Applications**, and click **Add Application**. Follow the wizard to define the name and password used for this integration.

What permissions are required?

The application registered in Crowd must have the 'Allow to authenticate users' permission and be mapped to the directories you want the agent to manage.

Can the agent reset user passwords?

Currently, the integration supports creating users with an initial password. Direct password resets for existing users should be handled via the Crowd console or self-service portal.

Atlassian Crowd + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Atlassian Crowd 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.
