Where do I obtain my Toggl Plan Access Token?

Navigate to the Toggl Plan web panel, head over to your **Profile settings**, and locate the Developer/API Integrations segment. You will need a valid Access Token (often labeled API or OAuth Bearer token in your administrative view). Create it permanently and keep the exposed hash secure.

Does the system support permanent deletion of elements?

Yes. This connector features a `delete_timeline_task` handler. If specifically instructed by you, the AI agent is capable of making a permanent removal request which cannot be un-done. You should instruct the AI cautiously when using mutations.

Are there any data sync delays when updating timelines with the agent?

No. Toggl Plan's API ensures immediate reflection of all timeline and milestone changes. When the agent updates a task or resource allocation, it instantly appears in the web interface for all workspace users without any caching delays.

Toggl Plan + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Toggl Plan 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.
