Can I query my indexed documents using natural language through my agent?

Yes. Use the `query_pipeline` tool by providing the Pipeline ID and your natural language question. Your agent will trigger a real-time RAG extraction and return a synthesized answer based on the relevant source documents found in the index.

How do I check which files have been successfully ingested into a pipeline?

The `list_files` tool allows your agent to retrieve explicit metadata for all physical documents attached to a pipeline. This is perfect for auditing your data source boundaries and ensuring all required documents are correctly indexed.

Can my agent manage multiple semantic indices?

Absolutely. Use the `list_indexes` tool to see all active semantic stores managed by LlamaCloud. Your agent will report the index names and types, making it easy to identify the correct target for your search or ingestion workflows.

LlamaIndex (AI Data Framework & RAG) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating LlamaIndex (AI Data Framework & RAG) 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.
