What is the Temporal MCP Server?
Connect your Temporal Cloud (or self-hosted) cluster to any AI agent and bring the power of durable execution directly into your IDE or chat via natural conversation.
What you can do
- Workflows & Executions — List, filter, and inspect active, running, or completed workflow executions
- Workflow History — Retrieve the complete sequence of events, activities, and signals to debug failures
- Visibility Search — Run complex SQL-like queries using Temporal Visibility syntax to find specific runs
- Namespace Details — Check retention periods, configurations, and metadata of your operational namespace
- Schedules & Cron — Browse all recurring workflows and predict the next execution schedules
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Temporal Address, Namespace, and API Key (or cert pathway)
- Start querying cluster states strictly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Software Engineers — debug failed workflow runs and retrieve precise event histories without opening the Temporal UI
- Platform Teams — audit namespaces and search attributes to ensure data consistency globally
- Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) — query complex visibility logs during incident responses
Built-in capabilities (7)

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent debug a failed Temporal workflow run directly?
Yes. Instead of browsing the Temporal UI to manually dissect the execution, feed the workflow ID directly to your AI agent. It can seamlessly fetch the entire event history, identify the exact panic line or activity timeout, and immediately suggest code fixes within your IDE.
How complex can the visibility searches be via natural language?
Very complex. Because your agent understands your codebase, you can ask 'Find all workflows of type ProcessPayment that failed in the last 2 hours'. The agent formulates the perfect SQL-like syntax for the backend, parses the matching pages, and surfaces exactly which transactions failed.
Can it read scheduled jobs and Cron jobs configurations inside Temporal?
Absolutely. You can request a list of all active schedules mapped to your namespace. Your agent unpacks JSON configurations, showing definitions of workflow recurrence, enabling you to detect missing crons without interrupting your workflow.
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.
