Are the exercise videos permanent or temporary?

The video and thumbnail URLs returned by the API are pre-signed links that expire after 48 hours. If you are developing an app, you should not cache these URLs; instead, refetch the exercise details when displaying them.

Can I generate a full weekly workout program?

Yes! Use the `generate_program` tool. You can specify your primary goal (like hypertrophy), the number of weeks, the equipment you have available, and how many days per week you plan to train. The agent will return a complete, day-by-day split.

How does the meal plan generator work?

The `generate_meal_plan` tool uses a mathematical algorithm to select balanced recipes from the database (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) that collectively hit your precise target calories and follow specific constraints like vegan or paleo.

YMovE Fitness + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating YMovE Fitness 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.
