FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Distillery MCP connectivity and detect transport mode in Claude Code?

To configure Distillery MCP connectivity, run the setup command to validate server state using distillery_list and distillery_watch, then detect transport mode via references/transport-detection.md to ensure proper MCP integration.

What is Distillery MCP onboarding and when do I need to run setup?

Distillery MCP onboarding verifies server connectivity, transport mode, and scheduled task configuration. Run setup during initial MCP integration or whenever MCP connectivity or transport mode changes to maintain operation.

How do I schedule maintenance tasks for Distillery MCP using Claude Code routines?

Setup configures Claude Code routines for scheduled maintenance by validating server state with distillery_watch and distillery_list, ensuring ongoing Distillery MCP operation through automated task scheduling.

Does Distillery MCP setup work without pre-existing dependencies or plugins?

Distillery MCP setup operates with no external dependencies, using internal references for transport detection and server validation commands like distillery_list and distillery_watch to verify connectivity independently.

Why does my Distillery MCP integration fail after changing transport modes?

Distillery MCP integration may fail after transport changes because the configuration requires re-validation. Run setup to re-detect transport mode via references/transport-detection.md and re-establish server connectivity using distillery_list.

Can I discover feed sources and configure session hooks during MCP onboarding?

Yes, Distillery MCP onboarding includes feed sources discovery, Claude Code routine configuration, and session hooks guidance to establish complete MCP integration with verified connectivity and scheduled maintenance.
