How do I securely obtain my Conekta Private API Key?

Log in to your Conekta dashboard as an administrator. In the left sidebar, click on 'Developers' (Desarrolladores), then navigate to 'API Keys' (Llaves API). Locate the 'Private Key' (Llave Privada) section—you may need to enter your password to reveal it. Copy this key and paste it into the secure input field below to connect the agent.

Can the AI agent create new charges or issue refunds directly?

No. This integration operates strictly in read-only mode to guarantee financial security. The conversational agent can query and extract data regarding transactions, customers, and overall payments, but it cannot authorize new charges or initiate refunds, protecting your account from unintended financial actions.

What kind of data can I ask the agent to retrieve from Conekta?

You can ask the agent to check the exact status of a specific payment ID, verify whether a charge was approved or declined, list recent successful orders, or summarize the daily transaction volume and associated processing fees.

Conekta + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Conekta 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.
