Frequently asked questions
How do I get weather for a specific city?
First use search_location with the city name (e.g. 'Tokyo') to find its AccuWeather location key. Then use that key with get_current_conditions for current weather, get_daily_forecast for the forecast, or get_hourly_forecast for hour-by-hour details.
What's the difference between daily and hourly forecasts?
Daily forecasts (1-15 days) give you one summary per day with high/low temperatures and overall conditions. Hourly forecasts (12-120 hours) give you weather for each individual hour — perfect for knowing exactly when rain will start, when temperatures peak, or the best time for outdoor activities. Use hourly for precise timing, daily for general planning.
Can I get severe weather alerts?
Yes. Use the get_weather_alarms tool with a location key to check for active severe weather alerts. This includes hurricanes, tornadoes, flood warnings, heat advisories, winter storm warnings, and more. Returns empty if no active alarms. Essential for emergency preparedness and travel safety decisions.
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.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
