Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Hookdeck MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent to orchestrate your webhook infrastructure through natural conversation. Hookdeck provides the reliability layer for your event-driven architecture, and this server puts that power in your chat interface.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route webhooks from sources to destinations.
- Traffic Control — Instantly pause or resume event routing for specific connections to manage maintenance windows or outages.
- Source Monitoring — Retrieve and count your webhook sources to understand where your incoming data originates.
- Lifecycle Operations — Enable or disable connections and manage their rules via JSON payloads without leaving your workflow.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific metadata for any connection or source using unique IDs to debug routing issues.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability layer from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly toggle webhook traffic or check connection statuses during deployments.
- DevOps Teams — monitor the health of event-driven pipelines and manage sources programmatically.
- Integration Specialists — verify routing rules and connection counts across different environments.

Frequently asked questions
How can I temporarily stop webhooks from being delivered to a destination?
You can use the pause_connection tool with the specific Connection ID. This will halt event routing until you call unpause_connection.
Can I see how many active sources I have configured?
Yes, use the count_sources tool to get the total number of sources, or list_sources to see the details of each one.
Is it possible to update connection rules through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the update_connection tool by providing the Connection ID and a JSON body containing the new configuration rules.
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.
