# Hologram.io MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Hologram.io MCP lets you manage your global IoT fleet through any AI client. You can monitor device status, track data usage, and toggle SIM card services without jumping between browser tabs. It turns your AI into a dedicated network operations specialist for your cellular-connected devices. ## Overview - **Category:** cloud-infrastructure - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_3tvd4PLGzrocHfQ4fjJSGdTNixdraz5h7sUdHvSt/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** cellular-connectivity, sim-management, device-fleet, iot-monitoring, data-usage ## Description Managing a fleet of thousands of cellular-connected devices usually means juggling multiple browser tabs and hunting for specific IDs in complex dashboards. You have to log in, find the right SIM card, check the remaining data, and hope you didn't miss a billing spike. This Connector changes that by bringing your entire Hologram.io account into your AI's context. Instead of manual searching, you just ask your agent to find the devices in a specific region or tell it to pause a SIM that's over its limit. It's like having a network specialist who knows your entire fleet by heart. You'll find this is one of the most practical ways to use the Vinkius catalog to handle high-volume IoT operations without the manual overhead. You get to stay in your chat interface while the agent handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval and service toggling. ## Tools ### get_recent_data_sessions See the most recent active connections for your fleet. ### list_available_data_plans See which data plans are available for your organization. ### get_billing_cycle_usage Check how much data your fleet has used in the current billing period. ### get_daily_usage_stats Get a breakdown of daily data consumption for your devices. ### get_device_details Pull specific metadata and status for a single IoT unit. ### get_device_locations Get approximate GPS coordinates for every device in your account. ### list_iot_devices List all devices in your account to find specific IDs or check status. ### list_sim_cards See all cellular links and their associated data plans. ### list_sms_messages View the history of SMS messages sent from your devices. ### pause_sim_data Temporarily stop data services for a specific SIM card. ### unpause_sim_data Resume data services for a SIM card that was previously paused. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Show me the current location of all my devices. ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the latest coordinates for your fleet. Most of your units are currently in the Midwest, with a few showing up in the Pacific Northwest. Would you like the exact coordinates for a specific device? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Is my data usage for this month looking okay? ``` **Response:** ``` I checked your current billing cycle. Your fleet has used **420 MB** so far out of your **1 GB** limit. You have about **580 MB** remaining. Should I check which device is using the most data? ``` **Prompt:** ``` I need to turn off the data for the sensor in the warehouse. ``` **Response:** ``` I've found the SIM card for 'Warehouse Sensor 04'. I can pause the data services for that link now to save on costs. Should I go ahead? ``` ## Capabilities ### Pause data services Temporarily stop data usage on specific SIM cards to control costs. ### View fleet locations Get approximate GPS coordinates for your entire cellular device fleet. ### Check billing usage See how much data your fleet has consumed in the current billing cycle. ### List IoT devices Retrieve a full list of devices in your account to find specific IDs. ### Track SMS history Access logs of SMS messages sent from your devices for troubleshooting. ### Monitor daily stats Get aggregated daily data usage statistics for your cellular links. ## Use Cases ### Emergency SIM Suspension A fleet manager notices a device is sending massive amounts of data. They ask the agent to find the SIM and use `pause_sim_data` to stop the cost immediately. ### Rapid Fleet Audit An IoT engineer needs to know where 500 trackers are located. They ask the agent to use `get_device_locations` to summarize the distribution across regions. ### Billing Cycle Review An operations lead asks the agent for a summary of the current month's spending. The agent uses `get_billing_cycle_usage` to report the total MBs used. ### Device Troubleshooting A technician can't figure out why a sensor isn't reporting. They ask the agent to pull the last few SMS messages using `list_sms_messages` to check for errors. ## Benefits - Stop overages instantly by using `get_billing_cycle_usage` to monitor spending without manual math. - Find any device in your fleet quickly using `list_iot_devices` instead of scrolling through huge tables. - Pause inactive SIM cards with `pause_sim_data` to save money on unused cellular links. - Get real-time fleet visibility with `get_device_locations` to see where your hardware is moving. - Debug device communication faster by pulling SMS history via `list_sms_messages` directly into your chat. - Stay updated on your hardware status with `get_recent_data_sessions` to see who is actually online. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a natural language interface for your entire cellular IoT fleet. 1. Subscribe to the Hologram.io MCP via the Vinkius catalog. 2. Provide your Hologram API Key from your dashboard to your AI client. 3. Ask your agent to list devices, check data usage, or pause SIM cards. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use the Hologram.io MCP to manage my cellular SIM cards?** Yes, this Connector allows you to list all your SIM cards and their data plans. You can also use it to pause or resume data services for specific cards via natural language commands. **How does the Hologram.io MCP help with IoT fleet tracking?** It gives your AI agent the ability to retrieve approximate GPS coordinates for every device in your fleet. You can ask the agent to find specific devices or summarize where your hardware is located. **Can I check my data usage with the Hologram.io MCP?** Yes, you can ask your agent to check your current billing cycle usage or get a breakdown of daily data stats. It helps you keep an eye on your consumption without opening the dashboard. **Does the Hologram.io MCP work with Claude or Cursor?** Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. Once connected via Vinkius, your agent can perform these actions directly. **Can I use the Hologram.io MCP to troubleshoot device messages?** You can use it to retrieve the history of SMS messages sent from your devices. This is very helpful for debugging communication issues between your hardware and the cloud. **Is the Hologram.io MCP good for managing high-volume IoT fleets?** It's specifically designed for that. By automating tasks like checking status, finding locations, and pausing SIMs, it removes the need for manual clicks when managing large-scale connectivity. **How do I find my Hologram.io API Key?** Log in to your Hologram dashboard, click on your profile/organization name, navigate to **Settings**, and select the **API** tab. You will find your unique API Key there. **Can I pause data for a specific device?** Yes! Use the `pause_sim_data` tool by providing the unique cellular link ID for that device. This will change its state to 'suspended' and stop data usage immediately. **How accurate is the device location feature?** The location data provided by `get_device_locations` is approximate and based on cell tower triangulation. It is generally accurate within a few hundred meters to a few miles depending on tower density. **Is the integration secure for managing my IoT fleet?** Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and connectivity data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
