Frequently asked questions
Can I see all the messages in a specific ticket via AI?
Yes! Use the list_messages tool and provide the Ticket ID. Your agent will retrieve the full conversation history, including both customer messages and internal notes.
How do I add an internal note to a ticket that the customer won't see?
Use the send_message action. Provide the Ticket ID and your text, and set the internal parameter to 'true'. This will log the message as a private note for your team.
Is it possible to list all communication channels like WhatsApp and Email?
Absolutely. Use the list_channels query. The agent will retrieve all your active integrations, helping you identify which Channel ID to use when creating new tickets.
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
