What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your AT&T IoT API Key and Client ID
- Start managing your IoT fleet from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more logging into the IoT Control Center portal for every SIM check. Your AI agent becomes your IoT operations console.

Frequently asked questions
What information do I need to identify an IoT SIM?
Each IoT SIM is uniquely identified by its ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) -- a 19-20 digit number printed on the SIM card or available in your IoT Control Center dashboard. The ICCID is required for all device-specific operations like activation, suspension, and usage queries. You can list all your devices with list_devices to discover ICCIDs for your entire fleet.
How do data pools work and how can I prevent pool exhaustion?
Data pools are shared data plans across multiple IoT SIMs. Instead of each SIM having an individual cap, all devices in the pool draw from a common data bucket. Use list_data_pools to see your pools, get_pool_usage to check consumption and identify top-consuming devices, and set up alerts before reaching the limit. If a pool is near exhaustion, you can suspend low-priority devices with suspend_device or migrate high-usage devices to a different pool with update_device_settings.
Can I automatically diagnose why an IoT device went offline?
Yes. Use the diagnose_connectivity tool with the device's ICCID. It runs automated checks for network registration status, APN configuration, active data session, signal strength, and known network outages in the device's area. The tool returns detailed diagnostic results with recommended actions -- helping your field engineers resolve connectivity issues without manual portal navigation.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
