Can my agent help me identify the root cause of a failed test case?

Yes. Use the 'get_case' tool to resolve the AI root-cause model for a specific test. The agent retrieves the definitions and AI insights to confirm exactly why a boundary was breached during execution.

How do I trigger a full test suite run via chat?

Provide the 'project_id' and 'suite_id' to your agent and use the 'trigger_run' mutation. The agent will command the backend to queue the tests against live ContextQA test clusters instantly.

Can I see screen captures of failed test steps through the agent?

The 'get_execution' tool retrieves detailed logs tracking failing step boundaries. Where supported by ContextQA, the agent can surface the associated physical screen capture limits to help you visualize the failure.

Troubleshooting ContextQA MCP Server with Claude Desktop

Common issues when connecting ContextQA to Claude Desktop through the Vinkius, and how to resolve them.

Server not appearing after restart

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting — wait a few seconds.

ContextQA + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating ContextQA 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.
