Whether you are conducting legal research, verifying regulatory compliance, or exploring constitutional history, your agent acts as a dedicated legal archivist through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I find the 'Human Rights Act 1998' and read its sections?
Yes! Use the search_legislation tool with the title 'Human Rights' and year '1998'. Once you have the type (ukpga) and number (42), you can use get_section to read specific parts of the act.
How do I see all legislation enacted in 2023?
Use the get_legislation_by_year tool and specify the year as '2023' and the type (e.g., 'ukpga' for Public General Acts). It will list all documents registered for that year.
Does this server provide recently published laws?
Yes, you can use the get_recent_legislation tool to fetch a list of the most recently enacted and published legislative documents in the UK.
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.
