FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI automatically find the details and status of a specific task just by providing the Task GID?

Yes! Use the get_task tool with exactly the Task Global ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, and precise operational notes connected to that active ticket in seconds.

How do I easily list all the columns in an active agile sprint board?

Simply ask the agent to run the list_sections action on the target Project GID. It will compile all column phases (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'QA') configured for that environment.

Does the integration permit modifying or deleting my workspace configurations?

No. The core set of tools focuses strictly on heavily querying and analyzing context—listing projects, analyzing metadata, checking tasks. State alteration operations are not currently exposed, assuring your workspaces are secure against destructive queries.

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.
