Frequently asked questions
Can I test money flows safely without losing real funds?
Absolutely. Increase has a top-tier sandbox environment. In your MCP settings, pass a Sandbox API Key (starting with sk_test_) and optionally set the environment to 'sandbox'. We even implemented literal tool overrides like increase_simulate_inbound_ach which are intentionally restricted exclusively to simulating inbound events on your test environment.
Does adding a new account via the Agent require paperwork?
No! Assuming your global LLC has already passed initial onboarding and your Entity object handles compliance, any subsequent programmatic calls to increase_create_account yield a fully compliant sub-ledger and associated numbers instantaneously contextually within the UI chat responses.
What is the difference between ACH and Wire transfer arrays here?
ACH acts through clearing houses taking normally 1-3 business days suited perfectly for non-urgent vendor mass payouts (create_ach). Wire transfers (create_wire) tie directly to Fedwire routing logic hitting banks internally within minutes - often bearing a slight static fee. Dictate which the bot should invoke based on liquidity needs.
How can I trace a specific payment?
We've added increase_list_transactions to handle historical booked transfers strictly by ID limits, exposing whether money cleared Fed limits safely.
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.
