Frequently asked questions
What smart home devices and apps are supported through Composio?
Composio provides access to 1000+ smart home tool integrations including Sensibo (climate control), Philips Hue (lighting), SmartThings (hub), and many more device ecosystems. Use list_composio_tools to discover all available tools, or search_composio_tools to find tools for specific apps or categories.
What's the difference between executing a tool with arguments vs. with text?
With arguments (execute_composio_tool): You provide a JSON object matching the tool's exact schema. This gives you precise control over every parameter. With text (execute_composio_tool_with_text): You provide natural language instructions like "turn on the AC to 72 degrees" and Composio's AI parses and maps it to the correct parameters. Use arguments for precision, text for convenience.
How do I get a Composio API key?
Visit https://app.composio.dev/ and sign up for a Composio account. Navigate to your API settings or developer dashboard to generate an API key (starts with ak_). The key gives you access to all available smart home tool integrations.
Do I need separate authentication for each smart home app?
No! Composio handles authentication to individual smart home services internally. You only need your Composio API key. However, you may need to connect your accounts to specific services through Composio's connection management first. Use the connected_account_id parameter when executing tools if you have multiple accounts connected.
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.
