FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a public share link for a specific folder?

Use the create_share tool. Provide the path to your folder and set shareType to 3 (Public Link). You can also optionally set a password for added security.

Can I change my online status message using the AI?

Yes! You can use set_user_status to change your availability (e.g., 'dnd', 'away') and set_user_status_message to set a custom text and emoji icon.

Is it possible to see which apps are enabled on my Nextcloud server?

Absolutely. Use the get_capabilities tool to retrieve a full list of server features, version information, and all currently enabled applications.

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.
