About AT&T IoT MCP Server
Connect your AT&T IoT account to any AI agent and take full command of your IoT SIM fleet through natural conversation.
Claude Desktop was built alongside the Model Context Protocol itself. That means AT&T IoT does not just work inside Claude. it becomes native infrastructure. When you connect 10 tools through Vinkius, Claude does not receive a list of API endpoints. It internalizes a complete operational model of AT&T IoT, understands the relationships between tools, reasons through multi-step queries, and delivers answers that would take a human analyst minutes to assemble. This is not a chatbot calling an API. This is an AI that operates your data layer.
What you can do
- Device Inventory -- List all IoT SIMs with ICCIDs, statuses (active, suspended, deactivated), data plan names, and last activity dates
- Real-Time Status -- Get live connectivity state, IP address, signal strength, data used/remaining, and suspension reasons for any SIM
- Activate & Suspend -- Instantly activate suspended devices or suspend compromised SIMs to block network access and contain costs
- Resume Devices -- Restore network access to suspended SIMs after troubleshooting or policy clearance without reprovisioning
- Data Usage Tracking -- Retrieve current and historical usage per SIM with daily breakdowns, overage alerts, and cycle forecasts
- Data Pool Management -- List shared data pools, monitor aggregate consumption, identify top-consuming devices, and prevent pool exhaustion
- Device Configuration -- Update rate limits, APN settings, and pool assignments to optimize performance or migrate devices between plans
- Automated Diagnostics -- Run connectivity troubleshooting checks including network registration, APN config, data session status, and known outages
