FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Do I need an API key?

No! OpenDota provides free access with 60,000 requests/hour without any API key. An optional free API key is available from opendota.com for higher rate limits, but it's not required.

02

How do I find a player's account ID?

Use the search tool with the player's name (e.g. 'Arteezy', 'SumaiL', 'Topson'). The results include their Steam account ID which you can then use with player-specific tools. You can also find account IDs on sites like dotabuff.com or stratz.com.

03

What data is available for matches?

Match data includes: all 10 players' heroes, items, KDA, GPM, XPM, hero damage, tower damage, healing, lane positions, draft picks, chat logs, team objectives, ability builds and more. Professional matches have even more detailed data including observer ward placements and rune pickups.

04

How many heroes are in Dota 2?

Dota 2 currently has 124 heroes, each with unique abilities and roles. Use list_heroes to see the complete list with their IDs, names, primary attributes (Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Universal) and roles (carry, support, offlane, mid).

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

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.

09

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.

10

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).

11

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

12

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.
