FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check the status of a specific order using its ID?

Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will return the current fulfillment status, tracking information, and shipment details associated with that order.

How do I see current inventory levels across different warehouse locations?

You can use the get_inventory_levels_by_location tool. It provides a breakdown of on-hand, fulfillable, and committed inventory for each ShipBob fulfillment center.

Is it possible to cancel an order through the AI agent?

Yes, if the order is in a cancellable state, you can use the cancel_order tool by providing the Order ID to stop the fulfillment process.

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.
