Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Caddy Server, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Caddy Server. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Caddy Server owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I use a Caddyfile instead of JSON to update my configuration?

    Yes! Use the load_config capability and set the content_type to text/caddyfile. You can also use adapt_config to preview the JSON conversion before applying it.

  • 02

    How can I monitor the health of my load-balanced backends?

    Use the get_upstreams capability. It returns the current status and health metrics of all configured proxy upstreams in your Caddy instance.

  • 03

    Is it possible to remove a specific site or route without resetting the whole server?

    Absolutely. Use delete_config with the specific path (e.g., apps/http/servers/srv0/routes/1) to remove only that element from the active configuration.
