Frequently asked questions
How do I find my HetrixTools API Token?
Log in to your HetrixTools account, navigate to Account Settings, and click on the API tab. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API Token from there.
Can I perform on-demand blacklist checks?
Yes! Use the check_ip_blacklist or check_domain_blacklist tools. These trigger real-time scans across 90+ blacklists. Note that these requests can take a few minutes to complete.
What are the maintenance modes for monitors?
The integration supports three modes: 1 (Normal), 2 (Maintenance with notifications enabled), and 3 (Maintenance without notifications). Use set_maintenance_mode to toggle these.
Is the integration secure for monitoring data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Bearer tokens (v3) or secure URL tokens over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
