About Gigs MCP Server
Connect your Gigs telecom-as-a-service account to any AI agent to automate your mobile connectivity workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Gigs abstracts the complexity of global carriers into a unified API, allowing you to manage mobile plans and SIMs with ease. This MCP server enables you to retrieve connectivity plans, manage subscriber profiles (users), and track real-time data consumption directly through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Gigs data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
Key Features
- Subscription Orchestration — List all active and inactive mobile subscriptions, retrieve detailed configuration metadata, and create new subscriptions instantly.
- Real-time Usage Tracking — Retrieve up-to-the-minute consumption data (data, talk, text) for any subscription to monitor user behavior.
- User Management — Register new telecom users and manage their profiles programmatically from your chat interface.
- Plan Discovery — Access a comprehensive catalog of voice and data plans available in 200+ countries.
- SIM Inventory Oversight — List and retrieve metadata for both eSIMs and physical SIM cards.
- Project Analytics — Access high-level metadata for your connected Gigs projects to verify settings and connectivity.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your telecom operations accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.
