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.

About AT&T 5G MCP Server

Connect your AT&T 5G account to any AI agent and unlock the full power of Open Gateway / CAMARA-compliant network APIs through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns AT&T 5G into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from AT&T 5G and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 9 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Number Verify -- Silently confirm a user's phone number matches their current device without SMS OTP friction
Device Location -- Get approximate geographic positioning via network-based cell tower triangulation (with user consent)
SIM Swap Detection -- Detect recent SIM card changes to prevent account takeovers and fraud before they happen
Quality on Demand -- Request guaranteed network profiles (low latency, high throughput, reliable transmission) for critical sessions
Network Slicing -- Provision, monitor, and decommission dedicated 5G network slices with custom SLA parameters for enterprise use
Roaming Status -- Check if a device is roaming on a foreign network and apply correct billing or routing rules
Session Auditing -- List active and historical QoD sessions to audit premium service consumption

The AT&T 5G MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the AT&T 5G MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with AT&T 5G through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

AT&T 5G + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the AT&T 5G MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

AT&T 5G MCP Tools for Cursor (9)

These 9 tools become available when you connect AT&T 5G to Cursor via MCP:

AT&T 5G + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating AT&T 5G MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
