FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI renew my licenses for me?

    No. The AI can only read your license data. You have to log in to Craftnet to handle payments or renewals.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my license settings?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It can see your licenses, but it cannot modify them or change your account details.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which plugins I have?

    It uses the list_plugin_licenses tool to see exactly what is registered in your account.

  • 04

    Will the AI see my login password?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection securely so your AI client never sees your raw credentials.

  • 05

    Can I audit licenses for multiple accounts?

    The AI can only access the specific Craftnet account you have connected to the MCP.
