What is the Hologram.io MCP Server?
Connect your Hologram.io IoT platform to any AI agent and take full control of your global cellular connectivity and device fleet through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Device Oversight — List all IoT devices in your account, retrieve detailed metadata, and monitor their active status.
- SIM Card Management — Access lists of SIM cards (cellular links) and their associated data plans to ensure seamless connectivity.
- Data Usage Monitoring — Retrieve recent data sessions, daily usage statistics, and current billing cycle summaries.
- Connectivity Control — Quickly pause or unpause data services for specific SIM cards directly from the chat interface.
- Location Insights — Access approximate GPS coordinates for your entire fleet based on cell tower triangulation.
- SMS Tracking — Retrieve the history of device-originated SMS messages for troubleshooting and logging.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Hologram API Key (found in Dashboard > API)
3. Start managing your IoT fleet from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual exporting of usage logs or jumping between complex fleet management screens. Your AI assistant acts as a dedicated IoT Operations Manager or Network Specialist.
Who is this for?
- IoT Engineers — instantly check device connectivity and retrieve data session logs during development.
- Fleet Managers — automate the process of monitoring data overages and pausing inactive SIMs.
- Operations Leads — maintain a real-time overview of fleet location and billing usage.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Hologram.io in Google ADK
The Hologram.io MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 11 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Hologram.io for Google ADK
Every tool call from Google ADK to the Hologram.io MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Hologram.io API Key?
Log in to your Hologram dashboard, click on your profile/organization name, navigate to Settings, and select the API tab. You will find your unique API Key there.
Can I pause data for a specific device?
Yes! Use the pause_sim_data tool by providing the unique cellular link ID for that device. This will change its state to 'suspended' and stop data usage immediately.
How accurate is the device location feature?
The location data provided by get_device_locations is approximate and based on cell tower triangulation. It is generally accurate within a few hundred meters to a few miles depending on tower density.
Is the integration secure for managing my IoT fleet?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and connectivity data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
