Frequently asked questions
How do I get my LinkedIn Ads API credentials?
- Go to developer.linkedin.com and log in with your LinkedIn account.
- Click My Apps → Create App.
- Fill in your app name, company LinkedIn page, and logo.
- Under the Products tab, request access to Marketing Developer Platform.
- After approval, go to the Auth tab and copy your Client ID and Client Secret.
- Paste both values below.
⚠️ Access to the Marketing API requires approval from LinkedIn (typically 1-5 business days).
Can I download lead gen form submissions?
Yes. Your AI agent can pull all lead gen form submissions including names, emails, job titles, and custom fields — ready to sync to your CRM or outreach tool.
What targeting criteria can I use?
LinkedIn offers the most precise B2B targeting: job title, job function, seniority, company name, company size, industry, skills, education, and matched audiences (ABM lists, retargeting, lookalikes).
Can I track cost-per-lead (CPL)?
Yes. Your AI agent calculates CPL by dividing total spend by leads generated — broken down by campaign, ad group, or creative. Essential for B2B marketers optimizing demand gen budgets.
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.
