Frequently asked questions
Can my AI draft a post and immediately schedule it?
Yes! The create_update tool is specifically designed for this. You can list your profiles to fetch the correct profile IDs, and then instruct the agent to write a post. The agent will push the new content using the IDs as target destinations. If you omit the explicit time, it falls back to the next empty spot in the profile's schedule.
Can the agent shuffle my pending queue if I don't like the order?
Yes. If you have loaded 20 evergreen posts into your Buffer, you can simply ask the agent to "shuffle the queue for my Twitter profile." It will invoke the shuffle_queue endpoint to mix up all pending un-timed updates, keeping your timeline fresh.
Is there a risk that my AI posts something to the wrong account?
The integration mandates profile IDs explicitly inside the payload. As a safety net, always instruct your AI to list your pending posts and verify the target profile string names before pulling the trigger on production updates. The agent behaves deterministically with tools.
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.
