Frequently asked questions
How do I get Marvel API keys?
Visit developer.marvel.com/account, sign in with a Marvel or social account, and you'll immediately see your Public and Private keys. Both are required for authentication.
Can I search for characters by name?
Yes! Use list_characters with name_starts_with to search. For example, 'Spider' returns Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Gwen and more. Each result includes the character ID for use with other tools.
Can I find comics for a specific character?
Yes! Use list_comics with character_id. First find the character ID with list_characters, then pass it to list_comics to get all their comic appearances with issue numbers, titles and cover dates.
How many results can I get at once?
The API supports up to 100 results per request. Use the limit parameter (1-100, default 20) and offset for pagination. The total count is returned in each response so you know how many pages exist.
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.
