Frequently asked questions
Can I initiate a background check through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_new_vetting_check with the contact ID and vetting package to initiate a background check. Use create_screening_contact first if the person isn't in your system. Track progress with get_vetting_request_status.
Can I track the status of active vetting requests?
Yes. Use list_vetting_requests to see all requests with their current status. Use get_vetting_request_status for detailed progress on a specific check. Use cancel_active_vetting to stop a check that's no longer needed.
Can I manage screening contacts and their data?
Yes. Use list_screening_contacts to browse all contacts, get_screening_contact for individual profiles, and create_screening_contact to add new people to the system. Each contact can have multiple vetting requests associated.
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
