Frequently asked questions
Can I track ticket sales and revenue for a specific event?
Yes. Use get_event_revenue with an Event ID to retrieve total revenue, ticket sales breakdown by type, and payment method distribution. Use list_orders_by_event to see individual orders with buyer details and amounts. Use list_ticket_types to see pricing and availability per ticket tier.
Can I monitor attendee check-ins in real time?
Yes. Use list_attendees to see all attendees with their check-in status. Use list_scans for individual scan entries with timestamps. Use get_scan_stats for aggregate metrics: total tickets scanned, unique scans, and overall scan rate percentage.
Can I view only upcoming or past events separately?
Yes. Use list_upcoming_events for future events sorted by date, or list_past_events for completed events useful for post-event reporting. Use list_events for all events regardless of date, and get_event for complete details of any specific event.
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).
