Can I send an SMS message directly from the AI chat?

Yes! Use the `send_sms` tool. Provide the sender number (one of your GoTo Connect numbers), the recipient's number, and the message body. The AI will send the text on your behalf.

How do I check my missed calls or voicemails?

First, you can use `get_me` to confirm your User ID. Then, use `get_call_records` to view your call history (including missed calls) or `list_voicemails` to see if anyone left a message.

Is it possible to lookup extensions for active users?

Yes. Using the directory management tools, you can actively search for any colleague by name or department to fetch their direct extension securely.

GoTo Connect + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating GoTo Connect 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.
