Frequently asked questions
Are API-created contacts exactly the same as UI-created ones?
Yes contextually. When you execute the create_contact function natively alongside category parameters (3 stands for customer, 4 for typical suppliers), sevDesk anchors these entries officially inside the identical primary table. Be clear about whether it's an email-lead versus a firm.
Wait, does my generated API Token expire if left unused?
No. The verified 32-character hexadecimal key token possesses an infinite lifeline inherently tied directly, securely, and stubbornly to your primary login account. It decays or dies primarily upon deliberate manual revocation (regeneration) directly executed by you inside your dashboard user settings.
Can I fetch detailed line items from a single invoice ID using this agent?
Absolutely. Querying list_invoices outputs high-level paginated arrays, but invoking the precision extractor get_invoice fed deliberately with a target identifier ID unveils the core metadata array detailing isolated tax mappings, due-date boundaries, and intricate line items.
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.
