How do I securely obtain my API Key?

Installation in Pumble is unique. In your workspace, click **+ Add apps** in the left sidebar, find the **API** addon, and install it. After doing so, go to any chat input box in Pumble and type `/api-keys generate`. A private, ephemeral message will appear containing your secret token. Paste that token here.

Can my AI automatically reply to unread issues?

Yes. You can instruct your agent to regularly fetch messages from a specific channel (`chat_history_messages`). The agent can evaluate questions, generate answers based on your knowledge base, and then use `chat_post_message` to post the solution back to the team instantly.

Is it possible for the AI to react with emojis?

Absolutely. It uses the `chat_add_reaction` functionality. A common use case is having the agent process a batch of tickets reported in Pumble, and instruct it to leave a '✅' checkmark reaction on the original message to signify that work is complete.

What happens if a bot message has a typo?

Unlike standard webhooks, this integration provides full bidirectional control. If your AI posted something incorrect, simply ask it to update its previous message. It will fetch its message ID and push a new payload using the `chat_update_message` tool instantly without leaving double messages.

Pumble + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Pumble 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.
