Can my agent update product inventory in Ecwid?

Yes. Use the 'update_inventory' tool. Provide the product ID and the new quantity. The agent will command the Ecwid mutation endpoint to reset the physical stock level perfectly.

How do I search for orders by a specific customer via chat?

First, use 'search_customers' to find the buyer details. Then, use 'search_orders' with appropriate filters. Your agent can retrieve the exact financial logs and fulfillment statuses for any order number.

Can I see all active discount coupons through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_coupons' tool. Your agent will evaluate the distinct discounting rules in your account, allowing you to audit coupon boundaries and rules without manual dashboard checks.

Ecwid + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Ecwid 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.
