What is the Together AI MCP Server?
Connect your Together AI account to any AI agent and integrate bleeding-edge open-source models seamlessly into your workflow. Harness world-class inference speeds to query Llama, Mixtral, and more, or orchestrate specialized model fine-tuning jobs straight from your chat environment.
What you can do
- Model Discovery — Explore and list all currently supported models on the Together network, identifying the best engine for any NLP or vision task
- Conversational AI — Run chat completion cycles on advanced models simply by supplying a model ID directly from the chat prompt
- Vector Storage Preparation — Generate instant rich embeddings for input texts, ready to populate your analytical databases
- Creative Media — Instruct external diffusion models to generate images using detailed physical descriptions
- Custom Fine-Tuning — Provision custom training runs by indicating a base framework and dataset file, alongside tracking existing job statuses
How it works
- Sign up for this integration
- Open your api.together.xyz control panel and fetch a developer API Key
- Plug the key above, specify models to your agent, and enjoy sub-second serverless inference directly inside your command interface
Who is this for?

Frequently asked questions
Where do I obtain my Together AI API Key?
Log in to the developer portal via api.together.xyz/settings/api-keys. If you do not have an existing key, click Create API Key. This token enables the execution of remote inferences spanning their hosted clusters securely.
Do I have to pay to use Together models through the agent?
Yes. This connector simply routes your instructions to Together AI. Any tokens consumed during chat completion, embeddings, images generation, or fine-tuning workloads are billed directly to your registered Together AI account balance according to their official compute pricing models.
Can I access free models on Together AI?
Yes! Together AI frequently offers free tiers for certain open-source models intended for experimentation and research. You can query these directly from your agent without depleting your account balance, though specific free-tier rate limits will apply.
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.
