Frequently asked questions
What types of contracts can Spellbook analyze?
Spellbook can analyze a wide range of commercial contracts including NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, employment agreements, vendor agreements, customer contracts, licensing agreements, real estate contracts, and more. The AI is trained on thousands of market precedents and can identify risks, non-standard terms, and missing clauses across all common commercial contract types.
How does the market comparison feature work?
The market comparison feature compares your contract clauses against 2,000+ market precedents to show how your terms compare to market standards. It shows pro-buyer, pro-seller, and market-standard positions for each clause type, helping you understand whether your terms are favorable, aggressive, or in line with market norms.
How do I get a Spellbook API key?
Visit Spellbook.legal and sign up for an account. Navigate to Settings → Integrations or API Settings in your account dashboard to generate an API key. The key gives you access to contract analysis, clause drafting, risk detection, and market comparison features. Contact Spellbook support if you need help setting up API access.
Can Spellbook draft custom clauses for specific jurisdictions?
Yes! When drafting clauses with draft_spellbook_clause, you can specify the jurisdiction (e.g. New York, Delaware, California, UK, EU), party position (pro-buyer, pro-seller, neutral), and custom instructions. The AI generates clauses tailored to the specified jurisdiction's legal requirements and your preferred negotiating position.
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.
