How do I get a Dynamo Software API Key?

Log in to your Dynamo Software instance, navigate to **User Settings** or **API Management**, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. You will also need your specific Instance URL.

Can the agent update fund valuations?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing investment data. Updating valuations or committed capital should be managed via the Dynamo Software web client or specific data import tools.

Does the integration support custom entities?

Yes, while the core tools focus on investors and funds, the underlying engine is built to query common Dynamo entities. Custom entity support may vary based on your API configuration.

Dynamo Software + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Dynamo Software 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.
