What is the 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.
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.

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
