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.

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
