Frequently asked questions
Can the AI forcefully complete an active marketplace payment transition?
Absolutely. Through the transition_transaction method, your prompt can dictate the order pipeline. Ensure you pass the specific UUID of the order and the explicit, configured transition name (e.g., "transition/accept" or "transition/complete") to force the lifecycle into its subsequent operational phase immediately.
Why use the Integration API instead of the Marketplace API?
Because the Integration API is the unadulterated administrator backend designed for secure backend logic rather than client interfaces. This permits system-level moderation, transaction configuration, and override state.
Can this integration modify review ratings directly?
Currently, the integration specifically implements list_reviews as a query mechanism tailored exclusively around monitoring and auditing capabilities. It does not actively expose a write mutation structurally to alter or destroy existing community integrity ratings.
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.
