FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I find which projects are affected by a specific vulnerable package?

Yes. Use the get_parent_projects tool with the dependency locator (e.g., npm+coa$2.0.2) to see every project in your organization that includes that specific dependency.

How do I check for security vulnerabilities in a list of dependencies?

You can use the check_vulnerabilities tool by providing an array of dependency locators. The agent will return any known security issues impacting those specific versions.

Can I see the full dependency list for a specific project version?

Absolutely. By using get_revision_dependencies with a revision locator, you can retrieve the complete list of dependencies identified by FOSSA for that specific build or release.

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.
