Frequently asked questions
Can LlamaParse handle complex tables and layouts in my PDFs?
Absolutely. LlamaParse uses AI-driven parsing to turn complex PDF layouts, nested tables, and even handwriting into structured Markdown. Use the create_parsing_upload tool to start the process and retrieve high-quality context for your agent.
How do I check if my RAG data pipeline is finished processing?
Use the get_parsing_result tool with your specific Job ID. Your agent will poll the LlamaCloud API and report the current status. Once finished, it will retrieve the final parsed content ready for grounding.
Can I see all data sources connected to a specific pipeline?
Yes. The get_pipeline tool extracts the full configuration for any pipeline ID, identifying all connected data sources and configured index settings, ensuring you have a complete view of your ingestion flow.
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.
