FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the specific data sent during a ping to debug a failure?

Yes. Use the get_ping_body tool with the check UUID and ping number to retrieve the exact payload or logs sent by your script during that execution.

How can I see the history of when my service went down?

You can use the list_flips tool. It provides a history of status changes (from 'up' to 'down' and vice versa) for any specific check within a given timeframe.

Is it possible to silence a check without deleting it?

Absolutely. Use the pause_check tool to stop monitoring and alerts for a specific check. You can later use resume_check to start monitoring again.

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.
