Can I check a customer's weekly payment amount and remaining credit balance?

Yes! Use the `get_customer_credit` tool with the customer's account number. It returns their approved credit limit, current outstanding balance, weekly payment amount (abono semanal), next payment due date, and their on-time payment streak.

Can I find Coppel stores in a specific Mexican state?

Absolutely. Use the `list_stores` tool with the state parameter (e.g., 'Jalisco', 'Nuevo León', 'CDMX'). It returns all branches in that state with addresses, phone numbers, operating hours, and available services like BanCoppel banking.

How do I search for products and see their credit payment plans?

Use the `search_products` tool with a keyword query. Each result includes the cash price, available weekly payment plan options (abonos), number of installments, and total credit cost. Use `get_product` for the full specification sheet of a specific item.

Coppel + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Coppel 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.
