How do I get my Foodpanda Partner API access token?

After being approved on the Foodpanda Partner Portal, you'll receive OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials. Use the `getAuthToken` flow with your client_id and client_secret to obtain a JWT Bearer token. This token is what you paste into the credential field.

Can I update my restaurant menu directly through this integration?

Yes! Use the `update_vendor_catalog` tool with the chain_id, vendor_id, and a JSON array of products. You can also use `add_catalog_products` to add specific items to your chain catalog.

What is the API rate limit for Foodpanda Partner API?

The Foodpanda Partner API has a rate limit of 50 requests per minute. The integration handles this automatically, but if you're doing bulk operations, be mindful of this constraint.

Can I temporarily close a restaurant via the API?

Yes, you can update the operational status using `update_vendor_status` to close or set the restaurant as busy to prevent new orders.

Foodpanda + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Foodpanda 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.
