How can I securely pass card inputs if the chat format is plain text?

The integration routes direct requests to Nuvei's sandbox or live vault using the `create_card_token` feature natively. Since the AI environment is localized and isolated by default, inputs made within Claude or Cursor are ephemeral and pass straight into Nuvei via the secure connection layer without persisting in logs.

Can I query why a specific transaction was declined?

Yes. Ask the agent to use `get_payment` with your transaction ID. The AI will parse the complex payload returned by Nuvei and summarize the error message (e.g., Insufficient Funds, Do Not Honor) directly in human language.

Is it possible to track batch settlements?

Use the `get_transactions` capability. Your prompt can specify that you want to list out the last 20 payments, and the AI will structure them neatly as a tabular view in your chat interface.

Nuvei + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Nuvei 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.
