FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Loops API key?

Log in to your Loops account, go to Settings → API, and generate a new API key. Ensure it has the necessary permissions. Then provide it when prompted by the MCP server setup.

What operations are supported by this MCP server?

The server supports: testing API key validity, finding/creating/updating/deleting contacts, listing mailing lists, sending events to trigger email journeys, sending transactional emails, listing sent transactional emails, and checking contact suppression status.

What is the difference between mailing lists and transactional emails in Loops?

Mailing lists are used for marketing campaigns and automated email journeys. Transactional emails are one-off, triggered messages like receipts, password resets, or order confirmations. Both are supported by this MCP server.

How can I check if an email is suppressed in Loops?

Use the 'get_contact_suppression' tool provided by this MCP server. Simply ask the AI to check the suppression status for any email address, and it will tell you if that email is currently suppressed from receiving emails.

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.
