What is the Swan MCP Server?
The Swan MCP Server embeds a complete European Banking-as-a-Service architecture into Vinkius LLMs.
What you can do
- Automated Root Provisioning — Instantly spin up local branch operations allocating FRA or ESP IBAN formats through
swan_create_account. - Card Administration — Ask the agent to generate custom virtual Mastercards assigned exclusively to distinct contractors utilizing
swan_add_virtual_card. - Direct SEPA Execution — Move exact funds safely parsing external creditor data natively through
swan_create_sepa_transferdirectly across European networks.
How it works
- Login to your Swan Partner dashboard.
- In Developer Settings, forge a Project Access Token granting server-to-server structural authority.
- Bind the token securely into Vinkius and set the 'sandbox' environment flag explicitly if performing simulation sweeps.
Who is this for?
- Agile Fintechs — Embed full neobank ledgers natively.
- Corporate Orchestrators — Distribute vendor cards programmatically mitigating manual issuance risks.

Frequently asked questions
Are actions simulated or operating live on real Ledgers?
If you inject your core Project Access Token with full production permissions and leave the env string off sandbox, yes! It executes heavy Core Banking GraphQL mutations that immediately provision legally compliant EU ledgers behind the scenes.
Can the AI Agent manage physical or virtual credit cards?
Yes. Via swan_add_virtual_card and swan_cancel_card the LLM has complete programmatic control over debit and spend cards mapped to underlying accounts.
Does the system support sandbox incoming money simulation?
Yes! We expose the swan_simulate_incoming_transfer specifically so you can test your programmatic workflows in SandBox by pushing fake money into target ledgers.
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.
