Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Airbnb API key?
Airbnb's API access is available through their partner program. Visit the Airbnb partner portal, apply for API access, and upon approval you'll receive your API credentials. Alternatively, many travel data aggregators provide Airbnb data via API keys that can be used with this server.
Can I search for listings in multiple cities at once?
Yes! Simply run the search_listings tool multiple times with different location parameters. The AI agent can compare results across cities, helping you choose the best destination based on price, availability, and ratings.
Can I book a listing directly through this integration?
This integration focuses on search, discovery, and information retrieval. You can find available listings, check pricing, read reviews, and verify availability. To complete a booking, you'll need to use the Airbnb website or app directly. The AI agent can provide booking links for each listing found.
What are Airbnb Experiences and how can I find them?
Airbnb Experiences are unique activities hosted by locals — from food tours and cooking classes to adventure sports and cultural workshops. Use the search_experiences tool with a location to discover activities in your destination. You can also filter by date to see what's available during your stay. Each experience includes details about what's included, meeting point, duration, and reviews from previous participants.
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.
