Frequently asked questions
Can I see if a customer has signed their waiver through the agent?
Yes! Use the list_customer_waivers tool. The agent will return all signed waivers, allowing you to verify compliance before a customer starts their activity.
How do I check the race heat schedule for today?
Use the list_race_heats tool. Your agent will fetch the list of upcoming and past heats, allowing you to monitor the day's schedule directly.
Where do I find my Clubspeed Private Key and Site ID?
You can find your Private Key in your Clubspeed API settings. The Site ID is typically your account's subdomain (e.g., if your dashboard is myvenue.clubspeed.com, your Site ID is myvenue).
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
