FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Token for Fountain?

You can find or generate your API token in your Fountain dashboard under Company Settings > Developer Settings.

Does Fountain support bulk actions?

Yes, the Fountain API is designed for scale. While this MCP server focuses on management and retrieval, bulk advance and transitions are supported by the core platform.

Can I see interview schedules via the agent?

Yes, the 'list_interview_sessions' tool allows you to retrieve all scheduled and past interview sessions directly from your account.

Is worker data accessible after hire?

Yes, you can use the 'list_workers' tool to access profiles of individuals who have successfully transitioned to 'hired' status.

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.
