Frequently asked questions
Can my AI read the strict structure of a custom model before creating a block?
Yes! We highly recommend asking your agent to use get_model_schema first. By retrieving the exact JSON fields (Strings, Lists, Booleans), the AI naturally learns the shape of your Page or HeroContent model and formats its create_visual_block mutation flawlessly avoiding validation errors.
How can I count how many blogs or pages are in my Builder space?
You can use the native count_model_entities tool. By querying a model like blog-post, the agent accesses the Builder backend with limit=1 exclusively to extract the metadata counts without downloading heavyweight content arrays—highly efficient for broad analytics.
Can the agent wipe an accidentally created page completely?
Yes. If an error occurs or a staging draft needs removal, the agent can call wipe_visual_block. Supply the targeted entity ID, and the HTTP DELETE command is irreversibly broadcasted to the Builder environment. Always review IDs manually.
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.
