Can I check which users belong to a specific collaboration space?

Yes. The `get_space_details` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the membership count and configuration for any specific space ID, helping you monitor team alignment directly through chat.

How do I see the contact details for a colleague using chat?

You can use the `get_employee_profile` tool. Simply provide the unique employee ID, and your agent will return their full profile details, including email, job title, and department information.

Can I post an announcement to the global activity feed via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `create_social_post` tool and provide your update text. If you don't specify a space ID, the post will be shared to the main company activity feed, making it visible to all users.

Workvivo + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Workvivo 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.
