Can I purge the CDN cache for a specific image using my agent?

Yes. Use the `purge_cdn_cache` tool by providing the fully qualified delivery URL. Your agent will trigger the invalidation at the global Edge nodes and return a Request ID that you can use to track the status.

How do I see technical EXIF data for an uploaded file?

The `get_exif_metadata` tool allows your agent to extract raw structural matching from an image, exposing technical details like focal length, ISO, and camera settings directly in your conversation.

Can I update tags for multiple images at once?

While the `patch_file_details` tool focuses on individual files, your agent can process multiple files sequentially through natural language commands, making it easy to overwrite tags across your media vault.

ImageKit (Media Optimization & DAM) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating ImageKit (Media Optimization & DAM) 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.
