Can my AI find pickpoints for a specific carrier like PostNord or DHL?

Yes! Use the `list_pickpoints` tool with the carrier code (e.g., 'pnd' for PostNord, 'dhl' for DHL) and the zip code. Your agent will return a list of available locations instantly.

How do I check if I have enough balance to generate new labels?

Simply ask the AI to run the `get_account_balance` action. It will retrieve your real-time balance directly from your Shipmondo account.

Where do I find my API credentials?

Log in to your Shipmondo account, go to **Settings** > **API** > **Access**, and you will find your API User and API Key there.

Shipmondo + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Shipmondo 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.
