FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can my AI detect specific weed species in my soybean field from Taranis imagery?

Yes! Use the get_weed_detections tool with your field ID to get AI-detected weed infestations with species-level identification. Returns weed locations, estimated coverage area, species classification, growth stage, and herbicide resistance indicators. For a comprehensive view of all threats (weeds, diseases, pests, nutrients), use get_detections without a type filter.

02

How do I get scouting recommendations based on the latest flight imagery?

Use the get_scouting_recommendations tool with your field ID. Taranis AI analyzes the latest imagery, detected threats, crop growth stage, and field history to generate specific action items including ground truth verification locations, recommended scouting patterns, treatment suggestions, and priority levels. You can also use get_threats first to see the overall threat severity before reviewing recommendations.

03

What resolution imagery does Taranis capture and how often are flights conducted?

Taranis captures ultra-high-resolution imagery at sub-millimeter to centimeter level resolution using specialized drone and fixed-wing aircraft. Flight frequency depends on your monitoring plan and crop growth stage — typically every 7-14 days during critical growth periods. Use get_flights to see all flight history for a field, and get_flight_imagery to access specific imagery products (orthomosaics, DSM, NDVI maps) from any flight mission.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

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.

09

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).

10

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

11

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.
