FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I search for court cases involving a specific company?

Use the search_cases tool with a query like caseName:"Company Name". The agent will return a list of matching cases with their UniCourt IDs and basic details.

Can the AI automatically track a case for new updates?

Yes! By using the track_case tool with a specific caseId, you can set up automated monitoring. You can even specify a refreshWindow like '1d' for daily updates.

Is it possible to get professional background data for an attorney?

Absolutely. Use search_norm_attorney to find the attorney and then get_norm_attorney with their ID to retrieve detailed analytics and professional history.

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.
