- Structured E-commerce & SEO — Extract parsed Amazon product pages via ASIN or pull Google SERP attributes in structured JSON formats directly to your chat
- Premium Unblocking — Access high-quality residential proxies automatically when dealing with ultra-secure or aggressive Cloudflare-protected targets

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent bypass Cloudflare screens when scraping?
Yes. If standard scraping (scrape_html) encounters a block, you can prompt the agent to 'Retry using premium proxies' (scrape_premium). This engages ScraperAPI's massive pool of residential IP addresses to mimic normal human traffic perfectly.
How can I extract pricing data directly from Amazon?
Instead of attempting to parse Amazon's chaotic HTML structure, just ask your agent: 'Get the Amazon product details for ASIN B0BQK...'. The agent uses scrape_amazon to return structured JSON data, neatly outputting the item's price and stock availability.
Does the scraping tool consume my LLM context window linearly?
Not if you use async jobs. For heavy pages, tell the agent 'Create an async job to scrape this URL'. It will return a Job ID (create_async_job), freeing up the chat. You can then ask the agent to 'check on the async job' (get_async_job) whenever you're ready.
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.
