- Background Removal — Remove backgrounds from any image and receive transparent PNGs
- Prompt Enhancement — Automatically expand simple prompts into detailed descriptions for better results
- Image Upscaling — Increase image resolution by 2x or 4x while preserving quality
- Image-to-Image — Transform existing images based on text prompts while keeping general structure
- Inpainting — Fill in masked areas of images with AI-generated content based on text prompts
- Model Selection — Browse available AI models and choose the best one for each task
- Generation History — Review all previously generated images with prompts, parameters, and download URLs

Frequently asked questions
Which AI image models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all supported models. Current options include Flux 1 Dev, Flux 1 Schnell, Stable Diffusion XL, and DALL-E 3. Each model has different strengths for various visual styles.
Can my AI upscale an image and remove its background in one session?
Yes. Use upscale_image first to increase resolution, then remove_background on the result. Both tools accept image URLs, so you can chain operations seamlessly.
How does inpainting work?
The inpaint_image tool requires three inputs: the source image URL, a mask image URL (white areas = regions to fill), and a text prompt describing what to generate in those areas. The AI fills the masked regions while preserving the rest of the image.
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.
