Can my agent search for brand assets across multiple projects in Frontify?

Yes. You can use the 'list_workspace_projects' tool to see all project IDs, and then use 'get_project_assets' or a custom 'execute_graphql_payload' to search across your entire workspace or specific brands synchronously.

How do I update the title of a digital asset via chat?

Use the 'patch_asset_metadata' tool. Provide the 'asset_id' and the new 'title'. The agent will trigger a GraphQL mutation to substitute the attribute securely, updating the label in your Frontify DAM immediately.

Can I invite a new team member to a project through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'invite_workspace_user' mutation. Provide the email address and the target Project ID. Your agent will command the backend to map the new user limit directly into the designated workspace flawlessly.

Frontify + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Frontify 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.
