Can my agent write new content files to Crafter Studio via Git?

Yes. Use the 'write_studio_xml' tool. Provide the site name, file path, and raw XML content. The agent will command the backend to write the physical Git boundaries, generating new content nodes or pages directly in your Studio environment.

How do I publish changes from Studio to the live Delivery Engine?

Use the 'publish_crafter_content' tool. Provide the site name and the specific object path. Your agent will trigger the automated publication workflow, migrating the changes from your Git-based Studio repo to the live high-performance delivery endpoint.

Can I perform full-text searches across all site content?

Absolutely. The 'search_crafter_delivery' tool leverages Crafter's Elasticsearch integration. Your agent can pull explicitly queried words spanning all nodes, returning matches based on the query logic defined in your search engine.

Crafter CMS + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Crafter CMS 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.
