Frequently asked questions
How do I check if my video generation is finished?
Use the lm.get_generation tool with the Generation ID provided. Your agent will poll the Luma API and report the current state (queued, dreaming, or completed). Once finished, it will return the final MP4 video URL.
Can I control the camera movement in my AI-generated video?
Absolutely. Use the lm.camera_control tool. You can provide a scene prompt and a JSON block defining the movement type (e.g., orbit, pan, tilt) and magnitude, allowing for professional cinematographic directing.
Can my agent extend an existing Luma video with more footage?
Yes. The lm.extend_video tool allows you to provide a continuation prompt and a previous Generation ID. Your agent will trigger Luma to seamlessly expand the scene, maintaining visual and structural consistency.
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).
