Frequently asked questions
Can the AI find an available slot for a specific service next Friday?
Yes. Upon providing the location and service ID along with the desired date, your agent invokes get_availability. The connector reads Picktime's master block array, isolating the open time windows seamlessly against existing rules (like business hours and buffers).
If a customer cancels on the phone, can the AI remove their booking?
Absolutely. Just provide the booking ID to the agent and it will utilize the cancel_booking function. Picktime will release the blocked slot immediately back to the customer-facing booking page.
Can I grab all upcoming appointments for a specific staff member?
Yes, by matching the staff member's ID from list_staff with the broader fetch generated by list_bookings. Alternatively, your agent can sort and filter the returned array natively in its reasoning stream, showing you only Dr. Silva's schedule.
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.
