FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I automatically list all active users in an Agora channel?

Yes! Use the list_channel_users tool with the project AppID and the target Channel Name. Your agent will return a list of UIDs currently connected to that session.

How do I start a cloud recording session via the AI agent?

Use the start_cloud_recording tool with the necessary parameters (AppID, Channel Name, and recording config). The agent will trigger the Agora cloud recording engine and return the Resource ID and SID.

Can I monitor the total minutes consumed by my project this month?

Yes! The get_usage_metrics tool retrieves granular consumption data, including audio and video minutes, filtered by date range or project.

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.
