Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Docker Hub access token?
Log in to hub.docker.com, go to Settings > Security, click New Access Token, give it a name and copy the token immediately — it starts with dckr_pat_ and won't be shown again.
Can I create private repositories?
Yes! Use create_repository with is_private set to "true". Note that free Docker Hub accounts have a limited number of private repositories. Check your account plan for private repo limits.
Can I search for public Docker images?
Yes! Use search_repositories with a query like "nginx", "python" or "node". Results include the namespace, name, star count, pull count and description for each matching image. This is useful for discovering community images before pulling them.
Can I see all tags for an image?
Yes! Use list_tags with the namespace and repository name. Returns all available tags with their image sizes, last pushed dates and digests. Useful for finding the correct version to pull.
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.
