Frequently asked questions
Can I access the full transcript of a recorded sales call?
Yes. Use list_calls to browse all recorded calls, then call get_transcript with the Call ID to retrieve the full speaker-labeled transcript. Each segment includes the speaker name, timestamp, and spoken text. Use get_call for additional metadata like topics discussed and action items.
Does Gong require two separate credentials?
Yes. Gong uses HTTP Basic Authentication with an Access Key and an Access Key Secret. Both are generated in Company Settings > Ecosystem > API > API Keys. The credentials are Base64-encoded and sent in the Authorization header. You must be a Technical Administrator to generate API keys.
Can I track deal pipeline data alongside call recordings?
Yes. The list_deals tool retrieves your deal pipeline with stages, amounts, and associated calls. Cross-reference with list_calls and get_call to understand which conversations influenced deal progression. Use get_call_stats for aggregate metrics like total call volume and talk ratios.
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.
