Can my AI automatically detect accessibility barriers on newly crawled pages?

Yes. Ask the agent to list the accessibility issues for a specific Site ID. It pulls from Siteimprove's latest crawls to pinpoint exact violations (e.g., missing alt text, ARIA label failures), so you can remediate them before the next audit cycle.

How do I easily fix broken links without searching them all manually?

Ask your agent to 'list all broken links' on the site. Instead of manually parsing reports, your AI will list the exact origin page where the broken link exists, plus the broken destination URL. You can use this checklist to rapidly go through your CMS and fix them.

Can my agent give me a quick health summary of my domain?

Absolutely. Request the 'Digital Certainty Index (DCI) summary' for your site. The agent instantly pulls your overall Quality Assurance score, SEO health, and Accessibility compliance rating, which is perfect for generating a quick weekly status report.

Siteimprove + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Siteimprove 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.
