Frequently asked questions
Can I search for contacts using specific filters?
Yes. The search_contacts tool accepts a JSON array of HubSpot filters. Example: [{"propertyName":"email","operator":"CONTAINS_TOKEN","value":"@company.com"}]. This uses HubSpot's native search API to find contacts matching property values, date ranges, or engagement criteria. Use get_object_schema with 'contacts' to discover all searchable properties.
Can I link contacts to companies and deals?
Yes. Use link_crm_objects with the source object type and ID, target object type and ID, and the association type name. Example: link a contact to a company with fromType='contacts', fromId='123', toType='companies', toId='456', associationType='contact_to_company'. This creates bidirectional CRM relationships.
What type of HubSpot credential do I need?
You need a Private App Access Token from your HubSpot account. This is different from OAuth tokens — it provides direct API access scoped to the permissions you select when creating the Private App. The token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header against api.hubapi.com.
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.
