FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see where a specific vehicle is right now?

Yes! Use the get_vehicle_position tool with the vehicle's registration or ID. The agent will return the latest GPS coordinates and the formatted address.

How do I check if there were any speeding alerts today?

Use the list_fleet_alerts tool. Your agent will fetch recent events, allowing you to filter for speeding incidents and see which vehicles and drivers were involved.

Where do I find my API Base URL?

The URL depends on your region. Common ones include https://fleetapi-za.cartrack.com/rest/ for South Africa or https://fleetapi-sg.cartrack.com/rest/ for Singapore. Check the Cartrack Developer Portal for your specific region.

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).
