Cancel a Meituan delivery order with a reason
This is the final state in the order lifecycle and indicates the customer has received their food. Should only be called after the delivery rider has confirmed drop-off or the customer has picked up the order. Triggers payment settlement to the merchant. Mark a Meituan delivery order as completed
This transitions the order to confirmed status and begins the preparation workflow. Required step before marking the order as delivering. Use the order ID from the order list and the restaurant POI ID. Essential for acknowledging new orders and starting the fulfillment process. Confirm a pending Meituan delivery order

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Meituan Waimai App ID and App Secret?
Log in to the Meituan Waimai Developer Console, navigate to API Documentation > Access Guide, and register your application. You'll receive an App ID and App Secret. Make sure your application has the required API permissions for order management, menu access, and refund handling. The signature algorithm uses MD5 hashing of sorted parameters combined with your App Secret.
What's the order lifecycle in Meituan Waimai?
The typical order flow is: 1) Pending (待确认, status=1) — Customer placed order, awaiting merchant confirmation. 2) Confirmed (已确认, status=3) — Merchant accepted the order, kitchen starts preparation. 3) Delivering (配送中, status=5) — Food is out for delivery with rider. 4) Completed (已完成, status=7) — Customer received the order, payment settled. 5) Cancelled (已取消, status=8) — Order was cancelled by merchant or customer. At each stage, you can query details, and merchants can confirm, mark delivering, or complete the order.
How do I handle stock management and sold-out items?
Use the update_stock tool to set stock quantities for menu items. Set stock=0 to mark an item as sold out (it will immediately disappear from the customer menu). Set a positive number to replenish stock. Get the food ID from the list_menus tool first. This is critical during peak hours when ingredients run out — quickly updating stock prevents customers from ordering unavailable items and reduces refund requests.
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.
