Built-in capabilities (10)
Returns a JSON array where each element contains the capturedData from one task. Download all extracted results from a completed Browse AI bulk run
Get bulk task execution status from Browse AI
Get detailed configuration of a specific Browse AI robot
Check the status of a specific Browse AI extraction task
Only meaningful when the task status is "successful". Fields match the column names configured in the Browse AI robot builder hitting internal task references. Retrieve the final extracted JSON data from a successful Browse AI task
Check Browse AI quota limits and credit usage
Monitors run on scheduled intervals to detect changes on target web pages and trigger notifications or data captures automatically via `/monitors`. List all active Browse AI web monitoring robots
Each robot represents a no-code AI scraping workflow targeting a specific website or data pattern via `GET /robots`. List all Browse AI extraction and monitoring robots
Each set typically contains a different "originUrl". All extractions run concurrently on Browse AI infrastructure. Run a Browse AI robot in bulk mode across multiple URLs
Pass a JSON string of input parameters (typically including "originUrl" for the target page and any variable fields the robot expects). Returns a taskId. Trigger a Browse AI robot to extract data from a target URL

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI start a data extraction and let me know when it finishes?
Yes! You can ask your agent to run_robot on a certain URL. The agent receives the newly created task ID and can immediately invoke get_task sequentially to poll for completion. Once successful, it calls get_task_data to dump the JSON right into your conversation without breaking workflow.
How do bulk operations work natively through the agent?
When you have a trained robot, you can feed the run_bulk_task command an array of different URLs. Browse AI's backend splits them virtually into independent task instances. Your agent tracks the bulk run via get_bulk_task and eventually pulls the mega JSON merge using download_bulk_data.
Is there a risk of my agent suddenly spending all my API credits?
You have complete visibility—the agent can query list_credits at any moment to inform you precisely of your available balance and monthly limit. Also, since tools execute your natural directives, your AI agent only triggers extractions you specifically prompt for.
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.
