FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if any of my indexers are currently down?

You can use the get_indexer_status tool. It retrieves the current health status of all configured indexers, highlighting any errors or connection issues.

What is the best way to add a new indexer without knowing the JSON structure?

First, run get_indexer_schema to see the templates for supported indexers. Once you have the correct fields, you can use add_indexer with the required data.

Can I verify my settings before applying them to an indexer?

Yes! Use the test_indexer tool. It allows you to test the connection and configuration of an indexer before saving it, preventing broken setups.

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.
