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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple AT&T 5G tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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 Windsurf 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 Windsurf with the AT&T 5G MCP Server

Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with AT&T 5G through the Model Context Protocol.

Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention

Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively

JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available

Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts

AT&T 5G + Windsurf Use Cases

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

Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from AT&T 5G and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses

Live debugging: query AT&T 5G tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor

Documentation generation: pull schema information from AT&T 5G and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically

Rapid prototyping: combine AT&T 5G data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes

AT&T 5G + Windsurf FAQ

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

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
