Frequently asked questions
What authentication does Loopio require and where do I get my token?
Loopio uses OAuth2 with Bearer token authentication. You need to generate an access token from your Loopio account under Settings -> API. The token provides secure, scoped access to your projects, libraries, and team data.
Can the AI agent search and retrieve approved answers from my Loopio library?
Yes. The search_library tool lets the agent query your master knowledge base using natural language. It searches across question text, answer text, and tags, returning the most relevant approved entries with their full content. This ensures your AI responses are always based on pre-approved, accurate information.
Can I create new RFP projects programmatically through the AI agent?
Absolutely. The create_submission tool allows the agent to spin up new Loopio projects with a name, description, company context, due date, and assigned owner. The project is created in 'Not Started' status and ready for immediate team collaboration and answer drafting.
How do I track the progress of active RFPs across my workspace?
Use list_projects to see all active initiatives with their current status, then drill into any project with get_project to check completion percentage, due dates, and ownership. You can also use list_questionnaires to see every individual question and which ones still need answers.
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.
