Frequently asked questions
Why should I plug an AI agent into an older legacy application like TestLink?
Because retrieving test assets from older GUIs can be painfully slow for developers. By mapping the database to an AI agent, your devs can just chat: 'What are the steps to reproduce Test Case 4022?' The agent calls the XML-RPC backend and instantly formats the manual steps logically in the chat space.
Can it read all my hierarchical QA Suites and specific cases?
Yes! The testlink agent is configured to retrieve Suites. You just list a Project ID, traverse downwards into Test Suites, and then request Test Cases by the retrieved Suite ID. It allows full architectural transparency over chat.
Does my TestLink server need to be accessible to the internet?
No. Because MCP servers process logic strictly locally through a sidecar setup, the interaction happens right on your machine/endpoint. As long as the machine running the AI client (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop) can resolve the Internal Network URL, the connection is solid.
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.
