FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI automatically process a refund for a specific transaction ID?

Yes! Use the create_transaction tool with the 'refundTransaction' type. You'll need to provide the original transaction ID and the amount to be credited back to the customer.

How do I check for transactions that have not yet been settled?

Simply ask the agent to run the get_unsettled_transaction_list tool. It will return all transactions currently sitting in your unsettled queue for review.

Is it possible to manage customer payment profiles securely through the AI?

Yes. The get_customer_profile tool allows the agent to retrieve stored profiles (without exposing full sensitive card data), enabling you to manage recurring billing and saved information securely.

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.
