Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent check if a specific message was delivered?
Yes. If an end user reports completely missing an important text, you can ask your agent to pull up the message status using its unique ID. The agent will read back exactly whether Telnyx successfully handed off the payload or if it encountered carrier-level rejection codes.
Is it possible to track the account billing balance?
Absolutely. You can request your current Telnyx account balance to confirm you have enough credit left to continue broadcasting. Just ask 'What is my current Telnyx balance?' and your agent will give you the exact remaining dollar threshold.
Can I configure new Messaging Profiles via AI?
Yes! Developers often need to isolate test traffic from production. You can simply ask your agent to list all current global profiles, and if needed, instruct it to immediately create a new messaging profile to attach webhook URLs.
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.
