Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Carta API credentials?
Go to the Carta Developer Portal at developer.carta.com and log in or register. Click Create App, fill in the app details (name, homepage URL, grant type, and required scopes), then click View app details to find your Client ID and Client Secret. Copy both values and paste them into the configuration below. Note: Carta's API program is invite-only — if you don't have access, email developers@carta.com to request it.
Can my AI agent tell me exactly how much equity remains in our option pool?
Yes. Ask your agent to pull the cap table and it returns the total authorized shares, shares issued, options granted, options exercised, and the remaining unallocated pool — giving you an instant snapshot of your equity position. Perfect for board meetings, fundraising conversations, or new-hire planning where you need the numbers immediately.
What if a new hire asks about their vesting schedule during onboarding?
Your AI agent can pull any employee's grant details including total shares granted, vesting start date, cliff date, monthly vesting rate, and shares already vested — so HR can answer equity questions instantly during the onboarding call without opening the Carta dashboard or asking Legal.
Can this handle companies with complex multi-round fundraising histories?
Yes. The integration retrieves the full cap table structure including Seed, Series A, B, C rounds and beyond, convertible notes, SAFEs, and all share classes. Perfect for late-stage startups preparing for IPO, companies running secondary sales, and legal teams performing due diligence on cap table complexity.
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.
