Frequently asked questions
How can my AI retrieve the list of guests who connected to the WiFi at a specific property?
Simply use the get_property_guests tool providing the specific property ID. Your agent will instantly compile a list of all guests captured via the captive portal, including their names, emails, and phone numbers.
Can I automatically check if all my routers are online across my portfolio?
Yes! Ask the agent to run the check_router_health action. It will scan all your StayFi routers in real-time and report back any offline devices, ensuring your guest networks are always functional.
Is it possible to track the total number of emails collected this month?
Absolutely. By utilizing the get_collection_stats tool, your agent can instantly fetch the email collection analytics across all properties, giving you an immediate view of your marketing data growth.
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.
