- Deployment Management — Enumerate promoted long-running deployments and retrieve detailed web endpoints and serving configurations securely
- Operational Control — Force stop actively running Modal app executions gracefully via App ID to prevent unnecessary billing cycles and manage system resources natively
- Security & Secret Audit — List stored secret dictionary references and verify environment variable mappings attached to your serverless functions securely
- Storage Visibility — Monitor persisted disk network block volumes and data mount directories used across your distributed compute instances
- Infrastructure Inspection — Deep-dive into specific App or Deployment IDs to retrieve precise JSON metadata representing your infrastructure's current state vectors

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop a running Modal app through my agent to save costs?
Yes. Use the stop_app tool with an active App ID. Your agent will dispatch a termination command to Modal, gracefully stopping the serverless container spin-up and preventing further billing for that specific execution.
How do I check which web endpoints are active for my deployments?
The list_deployments and get_deployment tools retrieve the Promoted image data. Your agent will expose the public URL endpoints and serving metadata associated with your long-running Modal deployments.
Can my agent audit the secrets and persistent volumes in my workspace?
Absolutely. Use the list_secrets and list_volumes tools to monitor your infrastructure assets. Your agent will report the names and references for your stored secrets and network block storage mounts attached to your compute instances.
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.
