FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I find detailed information about a specific NASA project if I have its ID?

You can use the get_project tool by providing the specific projectId. The agent will return comprehensive metadata including the project's description, status, and lead organizations.

Is it possible to search for active funding opportunities for space technology?

Yes! Use the search_opportunities tool with your specific criteria. You can also use list_opportunities to see all current funding calls available in the TechPort system.

Can I see the entire NASA technology taxonomy structure?

Absolutely. Use the get_taxonomy_tree tool to retrieve the full hierarchical structure of NASA's technology areas, which helps in understanding how different projects are categorized.

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.
