Available tools 16

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

data

create_data_order

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to send a confirmed South African mobile data bundle. Call list_data_products first and use an available network and sell value. This spends wallet funds and queues an irreversible external transaction. Never automatically retry an ambiguous result. Duplicate same-MSISDN-and-amount requests inside 5 minutes return HTTP 409.

get_data_order

Use this after create_data_order, or after an ambiguous create result, to fetch the authenticated account data order by request_id or orderno.

list_data_products

Use this before create_data_order to list the current SIMcloud data bundle products and exact sell values available for API ordering, optionally filtered by South African network.

electricity

check_electricity_meter

Use this before create_electricity_order to check whether a prepaid electricity meter is supported. This does not buy electricity or spend wallet funds.

create_electricity_order

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to buy prepaid electricity for a meter already confirmed with check_electricity_meter. Confirm the meter, rand amount, reference and SMS recipient before calling. This spends wallet funds and submits an irreversible external transaction; do not automatically retry an ambiguous result.

get_electricity_order

Use this after create_electricity_order, or after an ambiguous create result, to fetch an authenticated account electricity order by order_id, client_reference or order_reference_id.

vas

create_vas_order

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to buy a confirmed VAS voucher. Call list_vas_products first and use an available product and denomination. This spends wallet funds and queues an irreversible external transaction; do not automatically retry an ambiguous result.

get_vas_order

Use this after create_vas_order, or after an ambiguous create result, to fetch an authenticated account VAS order by order_id or transaction_id.

list_vas_products

Use this before create_vas_order to list active SIMcloud VAS voucher products and their available denominations.

airtime

create_airtime_order

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to send or recharge prepaid airtime to a South African mobile number on MTN, Vodacom, Cell C or Telkom. Confirm the MSISDN, network, rand amount and reference before calling. This spends wallet funds and queues an irreversible external transaction. Never automatically retry an ambiguous result. Duplicate same-MSISDN-and-amount requests inside 5 minutes return HTTP 409.

get_airtime_order

Use this after create_airtime_order, or after an ambiguous create result, to fetch the authenticated account airtime order by request_id or orderno.

lookup

lookup_network

Use this when the user needs to identify the South African mobile network for a number before sending airtime, data or SMS. The lookup is recorded in the authenticated account history.

send

send_sms

Use this when an authenticated SIMcloud user asks to send a confirmed SMS to a South African recipient. Confirm the final recipient and message before calling. Sending is an irreversible external action and may spend wallet funds; do not automatically retry an ambiguous result.

sms

get_sms_status

Use this after send_sms to fetch the delivery status of an authenticated account SMS by sms_id.

transaction

get_transaction_history

Use this to retrieve read-only transaction history for the authenticated SIMcloud account across web, CSV, recurring and API airtime, data, SMS, VAS and electricity activity. Require a date range; optionally filter one or more services with a comma-separated type value. SMS is successful only after a delivery receipt.

wallet

get_wallet_balance

Use this before a wallet-funded SIMcloud transaction or when the user asks for their available SIMcloud balance. Returns the authenticated account wallet balance and does not spend funds.

SIMcloud — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SIMcloud do?

It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_electricity_meter, create_airtime_order, create_data_order, create_electricity_order, create_vas_order, get_airtime_order and 10 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is SIMcloud mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around electricity, data and vas. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is SIMcloud working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 834 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is SIMcloud still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect SIMcloud?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does SIMcloud need an API key?

No. SIMcloud completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is SIMcloud?

It answers our handshake in 834 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
