Can I see which customers have an expired OAuth connection through my agent?

Yes. Use the `list_connections` tool to retrieve all authenticated linked accounts. Your agent will report the current status of each connection, helping you identify which users need to re-authenticate their external platforms.

How do I check if a data synchronization failed recently?

The `list_syncs` tool retrieves the synchronization history for a specific connection. Your agent will expose the log outputs and status indicators, allowing you to debug data processing issues directly from your conversation.

Can my agent retrieve synchronized data records from external APIs?

Absolutely. Use the `list_records` tool with a Connection ID and a model name (e.g., 'contacts'). Your agent will query Nango's storage to fetch the raw synchronized objects, bypassing external API limits natively.

Nango (Unified API & Integration Platform) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Nango (Unified API & Integration Platform) 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.
