FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started?

Subscribe, copy your active API Token (which you generate inside Forge Dashboard → API), and connect it. The integration expects standard connections so you can trigger real build routines natively without intricate pipelines or ssh logic.

Can my AI automatically trigger site deployments?

Yes! Give the agent the Server ID and Site ID you're questioning. It utilizes deploy_site to physically POST to Forge's pipelines kicking off an automated release. Perfect for hands-free releases right from Cursor.

What happens when I want to fetch metrics on queued application workers?

Provide the exact IDs. The tool evaluates endpoint rules (list_workers) and unpacks default configurations running PHP queues natively back to the terminal screen.

Does it list physical server setups efficiently?

Absolutely. Execute 'list_servers' or probe 'list_ssh_keys'. It aggregates root connection statuses, IPs, and structural records giving immense monitoring peace-of-mind at the keyboard.

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.
