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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for Gigs?
Log in to your Gigs Dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and you can generate a new Project API Key there.
Can I see real-time data consumption?
Yes! Use the 'get_subscription_usage' tool with a Subscription ID to retrieve the current data, talk, and text consumption for that specific user.
Does Gigs support both eSIM and physical SIM cards?
Yes, Gigs provides unified management for both digital eSIMs and physical hardware. You can list your inventory using the 'list_connectivity_sims' tool.
How do I activate a new subscription?
First, create a user with 'create_telecom_user', then use the 'create_mobile_subscription' tool to attach a specific plan ID to that user.
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.
