FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Donately API Key?

Log in to your Donately dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Key, and you can retrieve your unique API Key from there. Ensure you have the necessary permissions within your organization.

Can the agent process new donations?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing donations, donors, and campaigns. Processing new donations with credit card details should be managed via your Donately forms or donation pages.

Does the integration show recurring donations?

Yes, you can use the list_all_donations or get_donation_details tools to identify and retrieve information for both one-time and recurring contributions.

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
