Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Todoist API Token?
You can locate your personal API Token securely via the web application by clicking your profile avatar, going to Settings, and selecting the Integrations tab. Your token will be visible at the bottom or in a dedicated Developer section. Alternatively, navigate directly to https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations.
Can the agent delete projects or workspaces?
No. The integration exclusively lists resources (projects, items, labels) and supports only basic item modifications: creating tasks and marking tasks as completed. Destructive actions on structural settings are not supported.
Can the agent organize my tasks using sub-projects or sections?
Yes. The Todoist integration allows the agent to retrieve project IDs and navigate into their specific sections. When creating a new task, you can explicitly ask the agent to place it within a specific section to keep your work neatly organized.
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.
