Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Traction Guest API key and where do I find it?
Log in to your Traction Guest account, go to the Developer Portal at us.tractionguest.com/dev_portal, and generate a new API key. Copy the key immediately and paste it into the API key field below. This key authenticates all API v3 requests to https://us.tractionguest.com/api/v3.
What's the difference between invites, sign-ins, and registrations?
Invites are scheduled visitor appointments created in advance (future visits). Sign-ins are actual check-in records when visitors arrive on-site (current/past visits). Registrations are pre-registration records awaiting conversion to invites. The workflow is: Registration → Invite → Sign-in (check-in) → Sign-out.
Can I create multiple hosts at once for bulk employee onboarding?
Yes! Use the create_hosts_batch tool with an array of host objects. Each host needs firstName, lastName, and email. This is much more efficient than creating hosts one at a time, especially when onboarding new teams or importing from HR systems.
How do I manage group visits like tours and training sessions?
Use create_group_visit to schedule a group event with name, date, expected attendees, host, and location. Then use list_group_visits to see all upcoming group events. You can update or delete group visits as needed. Each group visit tracks expected vs actual attendance.
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.
