FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI download the files directly?

    No. The AI retrieves the resource endpoints and metadata, but you must use those links to download the actual files.

  • 02

    Can my AI edit the data in the portal?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It can only fetch existing metadata and resource links.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide my own API keys?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection, so you just connect the MCP and start asking.

  • 04

    Can the AI search for datasets by keyword?

    The AI uses the available tools to find specific packages and resources you point it toward.

  • 05

    Will the AI remember my previous searches?

    The AI's memory depends on your specific AI client, not the MCP itself.
