FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I calculate sales tax for a specific address via AI?

Yes! Use the calculate_sales_tax tool. Provide the destination country, zip code, and state along with the order amount. Your agent will return the precise tax to be collected.

How do I see in which states I have a tax nexus?

Run the list_nexus_regions query. The agent will retrieve a list of all regions (states or countries) where you have configured a tax nexus in your TaxJar account.

Is it possible to validate a shipping address via AI?

Absolutely. Use the validate_tax_address tool and provide the full address details. The agent will verify the address through TaxJar to ensure it is accurate for tax purposes.

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.
