Frequently asked questions
Can I send a question to a bot and get an AI-generated answer in real time?
Yes! The query_bot tool accepts a Bot ID and a question string. It sends the query to the bot's AI engine and returns a response generated from its trained knowledge base — perfect for testing bot accuracy before deploying changes.
Can I review all the data sources currently training my bot?
Yes. The list_data_sources tool returns all URLs, documents, and text snippets that have been added to a specific bot's knowledge base, including their processing status. Use add_data_source to programmatically add new URLs, text, or file content to expand the bot's training data.
Can I browse conversation histories across all my bots?
Yes. Use list_conversations to retrieve all chat sessions — optionally filter by a specific Bot ID. Then use get_conversation with the Conversation ID to inspect the full message timeline, including user questions, bot responses, and timestamps.
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.
