Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically check if a cannabis sample has passed all required tests and is ready for Certificate of Analysis issuance?
Yes! Use the list_results tool to fetch all completed analytical findings for a specific sample. Your AI agent will respond with comprehensive pass/fail determinations across potency, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, and contaminant panels. Once all required tests show passing results, use list_certificates to verify CoA generation status. Always confirm regulatory limit compliance before releasing products to distribution or retail channels.
How do I quickly identify which laboratory instruments are due for calibration or maintenance?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_instruments action. It will compile all analytical equipment with calibration status, last service date, next scheduled maintenance, and qualification records. The AI will highlight any HPLC, GC-MS, ICP-MS, or other systems approaching calibration expiry or overdue for preventive maintenance. This ensures your laboratory maintains ISO/IEC 17025 compliance and analytical data integrity.
Does PharmWare integration allow modifying test results or deleting sample records?
No. The current toolset focuses strictly on read-only querying and analytical operations — listing samples, reviewing results, checking certificates, and monitoring workflows. State alteration operations (modifying test data, deleting samples, or revoking certificates) are not currently exposed, assuring your laboratory records remain secure against destructive queries and maintaining complete audit trail integrity for regulatory inspections.
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.
