Frequently asked questions
How do I filter for specific measurements like Body Fat or Blood Pressure?
Use the meastype parameter with the get_measurements tool. Common types: 1 (Weight), 4 (Height), 8 (Fat Mass), 9 (Diastolic BP), 10 (Systolic BP), 11 (Heart Pulse), 71 (Body Temperature).
What is the difference between sleep summary and sleep details?
get_sleep_summary returns one overall score and total duration per night. get_sleep_details returns high-frequency intraday data, detailing exactly what time you entered REM, deep sleep, or woke up throughout the night.
Can I receive real-time notifications when I step on the scale?
Yes, use the subscribe_notifications tool with an appli ID of 1 (Weight). Withings will then send a POST webhook to the callback URL you specify the moment a new weight measurement is synced.
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.
