Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 11 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Dashboard hopping used to be standard procedure.
Right now, finding out if a unit is running into data overages means opening one tab for billing, switching to another panel for device status, and then potentially logging into a third system just to get the SMS history. It's slow, it's tedious, and you're always clicking through complex screens.
With this MCP connected via Vinkius, your agent handles all of that back-and-forth automatically. You ask one question—like 'What's going on with Sensor Unit 12?'—and the AI client runs the necessary checks for status, location, and billing usage in background.
Hologram.io MCP gives you complete visibility into your fleet.
The manual process of checking device connectivity or simulating a service outage involved logging into the platform, finding the specific SIM card ID, and then manually toggling the data state. This was high-friction work that took minutes per device.
Now, you just talk to your agent. You tell it to 'Pause data for SIM Card XYZ,' and it executes the action instantly. It's simple control over complex global infrastructure.
What your AI can actually do with this
Managing a large network of remote devices usually means living in a state of dashboard chaos. You're constantly clicking through tabs just to find out if the billing cycle is nearing an overage or if that specific device went offline last night.
This MCP connects your entire global cellular fleet into your agent, giving you full control via conversation. You can ask it to pull up a list of all devices and check their current operational status. Need to know how much data they've used this month? Just ask for the billing cycle usage.
Your agent pulls that data, then checks if specific SIM cards need pausing or resuming service immediately.
It’s like having a dedicated IoT Operations Manager who lives inside your AI client. You don't have to export logs anymore or manually check status screens; you just talk to it and get actionable results. This integration makes managing complex connectivity simple, giving you the power of the entire Vinkius catalog right where you work.
019d75b2-0a2e-73f5-afec-57c3487864cb Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is you connect once in Vinkius; then you manage everything else through natural conversation with your AI client.
First, subscribe to this MCP and enter your Hologram API Key (you find this in the platform's Dashboard > API).
Next, connect it to any compatible client—like Cursor or Claude—so your agent can access the toolset.
Then, ask your agent a question like, 'What is the current data usage for my fleet?' and it executes the necessary calls against Hologram's live data.
Who is this actually for?
This MCP is built for the ops engineer who gets tired of jumping between complex management dashboards just to check a single device's status. It’s for anyone responsible for keeping a global fleet connected and within budget.
Uses it daily to debug connectivity issues, checking specific device details or reviewing recent data sessions logs during development.
Automates the process of monitoring data overages against billing cycles and quickly pausing inactive SIMs before they accrue unnecessary costs.
Maintains a real-time overview of fleet location, usage patterns, and overall connectivity health across multiple regions.
What Changes When You Connect
You don't have to manually jump between dashboards to check status. You can ask the agent to list all devices and get their current operational state in a single query, which is much faster than checking multiple tabs for each asset.
Catch overages before they happen. By running get_billing_cycle_usage, your agent immediately tells you how much data was used this month compared to your allowance, saving you from unexpected bills.
Control the network instantly. If a device isn't transmitting data and you think it's costing money, use pause_sim_data to cut off service right from your chat window—no need to log into the billing portal.
Pinpoint assets globally. Instead of guessing where things are, running get_device_locations gives you approximate GPS coordinates based on cell tower data for every device in your fleet.
Deep troubleshooting is easy. Need to know why a message failed? The agent can pull up the history using list_sms_messages and also check the recent usage via get_recent_data_sessions, giving you both context and proof.
See it in action
Tracking an unexpected data spike
The ops lead notices a sudden cost increase. They ask their agent to check the billing cycle usage, which reveals a spike. The agent then checks get_device_details for the device responsible and gets its current location via get_device_locations so they can dispatch maintenance personnel immediately.
Onboarding new devices
An engineer needs to verify connectivity on a new unit. They first run list_iot_devices to confirm the ID, then use get_daily_usage_stats to ensure baseline usage is zero before going live.
Emergency service interruption
The field team reports that a gateway isn't sending location data. The agent first lists_sim_cards to confirm the active plan, then uses pause_sim_data and unpause_sim_data to cycle the connection and see if service resumes.
Forensic investigation
A manager needs to audit why a device was transmitting messages when it shouldn't have. They ask for list_sms_messages history, then check get_recent_data_sessions to correlate message activity with data consumption.
The honest tradeoffs
Searching by vague description
Asking the agent: 'Show me usage for my problematic sensor.' The agent fails because it needs a specific ID or name.
First, run list_iot_devices to get all IDs. Then, use those IDs with get_device_details and follow up by checking get_daily_usage_stats. This ensures you're querying the right asset.
Assuming data is always active
Deploying a new unit without checking if its SIM card is ready. You waste time diagnosing connectivity when the link is simply off.
Always start by using list_sim_cards to confirm both the plan status and that the service needs no manual activation or suspension.
Ignoring billing limits
Relying on device location data without knowing if the current SIM card has enough credit. The system fails when it tries to ping a faraway asset.
Before any deep query, check get_billing_cycle_usage. If usage is high or nearing limits, you must use list_available_data_plans first.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your primary need involves the full lifecycle management of connected hardware: checking device inventory, monitoring billing consumption, and controlling network services. You need to correlate where a physical asset is (get_device_locations) with how much data it's using (get_billing_cycle_usage).
Don't use this if you only need simple reading of non-telemetry data (e.g., pulling records from an internal CRM or database). For those cases, a dedicated record management MCP is better. Also, remember that location data comes from cell tower triangulation; don't treat it as precise GPS coordinates unless the device explicitly reports them.
