FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Dotdigital API credentials?

Log in to your Dotdigital account, navigate to Settings > Access, and select the API users tab. You can create a new API user to generate a unique username and password for this integration.

Can the agent send new email campaigns?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing campaigns, contacts, and automation programs. Scheduling or sending actual email broadcasts should be managed via the Dotdigital campaign builder.

Does the integration support multiple address books?

Yes, you can use the list_marketing_address_books tool to see all your address books and then list contacts for any specific book using its ID.

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.
