Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically send an SMS broadcast to a specific contact list?
Yes! Use the send_message tool with the mode set to 'BROADCAST'. Provide the list name or destination, and your agent will trigger the mass SMS instantly.
How do I schedule a text message for a future date using the AI?
Simply ask the agent to run the schedule_message action. Provide the phone number, message text, and the target ISO date/time for the delivery.
How do I find my SimpleTexting API v2 Token?
Log in to your SimpleTexting account, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret API v2 Token there.
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
