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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple AT&T IoT tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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
The AT&T IoT MCP Server exposes 10 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 IoT MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with AT&T IoT 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 10 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 IoT + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the AT&T IoT MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from AT&T IoT and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query AT&T IoT tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from AT&T IoT and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine AT&T IoT data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
