FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI automatically gather details of a specific card by its ID?

Yes! Use the get_card tool with exactly the Card ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, standard labels, and precise notes within seconds.

How do I move a card from 'To Do' to 'Done' seamlessly?

Simply ask the agent to run the move_card command. Providing the Card ID and the destination List ID (often found with list_lists first). It will transition your task across phases transparently.

Does the integration allow completely destructive operations like deleting my entire board?

No. The agent is limited to safe mutations related to Cards—creating, updating, and removing cards. It does not contain tools to delete large configurations like Boards or Columns, protecting your company’s structure.

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).
