Can I check the details of a specific task through the agent?

Yes. The `get_task_details` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve full metadata for any specific task ID, including its description, current status, assignees, and any custom fields you have configured.

How do I find tasks belonging to a specific folder or project?

You can use the `list_wrike_tasks` tool and provide the unique `folder_id`. Your agent will return all tasks contained within that specific organizational unit, helping you stay focused on a specific project.

Is it possible to see all my team members' contact IDs via chat?

Absolutely. The `list_wrike_contacts` tool retrieves all users and contacts in your Wrike workspace, providing their names and unique contact IDs required for task assignment or mentions.

Wrike + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Wrike 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.
