Connect Hologram.io MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hologram.io to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Scaffold fleet dashboards with Cline
`list_iot_devices` pulls your active hardware inventory straight into VS Code. Tell Cline to build a monitoring dashboard, and it will fetch the live fleet status, write the React components, and inject the actual device IDs into the UI. It doesn't stop at just listing hardware. The agent hits `get_device_details` to grab firmware versions and connection states, wiring up a fully functional frontend that reflects your real-world deployment. You get working code populated with actual production data.
Audit cellular bandwidth
`get_daily_usage_stats` retrieves aggregated data consumption across your entire deployment. If you need to write a script that audits your monthly burn rate, Cline pulls `get_billing_cycle_usage` and writes the exact logic to parse the carrier data. When you need to provision new nodes, your agent checks `list_available_data_plans` to see what your organization can activate. It writes the deployment scripts and tests them against the live API, proving the logic works before you ship it.
Execute remote hardware commands
`pause_sim_data` suspends the cellular link when you detect anomalous behavior. If you are writing an automated kill-switch service, Cline can test the logic by pulling a test SIM from `list_sim_cards` and running the suspension command right from your editor via this MCP Server. Testing two-way communication is just as fast. The agent uses `list_sms_messages` to verify that your hardware successfully transmitted its payload over SMS. If a node drops out, you can run `unpause_sim_data` to restore the link and watch the logs roll in.
