This Connector bridges that gap by giving your agent direct access to AT&T's network capabilities. Instead of building custom HTTP clients to hit the AT&T Developer Portal, you can just tell your agent to check a device's roaming status or provision a dedicated network slice. It handles the heavy lifting of CAMARA-compliant APIs so you can focus on the logic. If you're building a security product, you can have your agent check for SIM swaps in real-time. If you're managing an IoT fleet, you can ask for specific low-latency profiles on the fly. It's a way to make your AI agent a functional part of your network operations, moving from static data to active control. You can find this and thousands of other connectors in the Vinkius catalog to keep your agent connected to the services that matter. This turns your agent into a functional operations console for your telecom stack. You no longer have to toggle between multiple tabs or manual tools to manage high-stakes network tasks. ## Tools ### check_roaming_status Check if a device is roaming on a foreign network. This helps you apply correct billing rates or optimize routing for travelers. ### check_sim_swap Detect if a SIM card has been swapped recently.

This eliminates the friction of sending an SMS OTP during login. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Check if the phone number +12125551234 had a SIM swap in the last 7 days. ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked the SIM swap history for +12125551234. No SIM swap events detected in the last 7 days (168 hours). The last recorded swap was 45 days ago. This number appears stable; it's safe to proceed with identity verification. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a low-latency network slice called 'TradingFloor-Prime' for our enterprise deployment. ``` **Response:** ``` Network slice 'TradingFloor-Prime' has been successfully provisioned. Slice ID: NS-7a3b9c. SLA profile: low_latency with ultra-reliable parameters. The slice is active and ready to accept device connections. Estimated provisioning time was 12 seconds. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Verify the phone number +14155559876 for user login without sending an SMS code. ``` **Response:** ``` Number Verify completed successfully for +14155559876. The phone number is confirmed to match the device currently active on the AT&T 5G network. Confidence score: 99.2%. No OTP was sent; verification was silent and frictionless. The user can proceed with login. ``` ## Capabilities ### Verify phone numbers without SMS Silently confirm a user's phone number matches their device to remove OTP friction. ### Detect recent SIM swaps Identify recent SIM card changes to block account takeovers and fraud. ### Request guaranteed network quality Request specific profiles like low latency or high throughput for active sessions. ### Provision 5G network slices Create and manage dedicated network slices with custom SLA parameters for enterprise use. ### Check roaming status Verify if a device is on a foreign network to apply correct billing or routing. ### Get device location Retrieve approximate geographic positioning via network-based cell tower triangulation. ## Use Cases ### Fraud Prevention A security team asks the agent to check if a login attempt came from a recently swapped SIM. The agent uses check_sim_swap and flags the account. ### IoT Deployment An operator needs to set up a private network for a factory. The agent uses create_network_slice to provision a low-latency slice. ### Real-time Gaming A developer wants to prioritize traffic for a live event. The agent uses request_quality_on_demand to request a high-throughput profile. ### Roaming Billing A product manager wants to know if a user is on a foreign network. The agent uses check_roaming_status to update the billing UI. ## Benefits - Stop SMS friction by using verify_number for silent identity checks during user onboarding. - Prevent account takeovers by using check_sim_swap to flag suspicious device changes instantly. - Ensure high-performance connections by using request_quality_on_demand for low-latency gaming or VR. - Manage enterprise resources efficiently by using create_network_slice to provision dedicated bandwidth. - Audit your network costs by using list_network_sessions to track premium service consumption. - Automate billing logic for international users by checking roaming status with check_roaming_status. ## How It Works The bottom line is your AI agent gains direct control over AT&T 5G network features without you writing a single line of integration code. 1.

This helps you block account takeovers before they happen. **How does the AT&T 5G MCP handle network slicing?** It lets you provision, monitor, and delete dedicated 5G network slices. You can set specific SLA parameters for enterprise or IoT use cases. **Can I use the AT&T 5G MCP to verify phone numbers without SMS?** Yes, it uses silent verification to confirm a user's phone number matches their current device. This removes the friction of sending an SMS OTP during onboarding. **Can the AT&T 5G MCP check if a user is roaming?** It can check if a device is on a foreign network. This is useful for applying correct billing rules or optimizing international routing. **Does the AT&T 5G MCP support Quality on Demand?** Yes, you can request specific network profiles like low latency for gaming or high throughput for video. Your agent can manage these sessions for you. **Is the AT&T 5G MCP suitable for IoT deployments?** It's ideal for IoT because it supports network slicing. This allows you to isolate traffic and guarantee connectivity for critical hardware. **What are Open Gateway / CAMARA APIs and why do they matter?** Open Gateway is a global initiative by GSMA and the Linux Foundation that standardizes telecom network APIs across carriers. CAMARA is the open-source project defining these API specifications. Instead of carrier-specific integrations, developers get universal, consistent endpoints for Number Verify, Device Location, SIM Swap, Quality on Demand, and more. AT&T is a founding participant, meaning these APIs work the same way across compatible networks worldwide. **Does Device Location require user consent?** Yes. Per CAMARA standards, the Device Location API requires explicit user consent before returning any positioning data. The API will fail with an authentication error if consent has not been granted. This is a security and privacy safeguard -- network-level location cannot be retrieved silently without the user's knowledge. **What is Network Slicing and when should I use it?** Network Slicing creates logically isolated 5G network segments with guaranteed SLA parameters (latency, bandwidth, reliability). Use it for IoT deployments requiring guaranteed connectivity, private enterprise networks, mission-critical applications like remote surgery or autonomous vehicles, and any scenario where best-effort public network performance is insufficient. You can create, monitor, and delete slices directly through your AI agent.
