How do I find my Yitu AppID and APIKey?

Log in to the [Yitu Cloud Platform](https://www.yitutech.com/), navigate to the 'Developer Center' or 'API Management' section to find your unique AppID (DevId) and APIKey (DevKey).

What is a facial repository?

A facial repository is a secure, private database where you store facial features (templates) of known individuals. This allows the system to perform 1:N searches to identify a person from a large group.

How accurate is the identity comparison?

Yitu is a world leader in facial recognition accuracy. The system returns a confidence score (typically 0.0 to 1.0). A score above 0.8 is generally considered a highly reliable match for the same person.

Yitu Technology / 依图科技 + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Yitu Technology / 依图科技 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.
