About
Soracom — Model Context Protocol server
README
⚠️ EARLY ACCESS: This is an early access project and is provided as-is. There is no guarantee of continued support or maintenance. Use at your own risk.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with SORACOM APIs.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js v22+ (ES modules support)
- SORACOM Auth Key (ID and Token)
Configuration
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
Authentication Methods
There are two ways to authenticate with SORACOM:
- Direct environment variables - Set auth key ID and token directly
- SORACOM CLI profile - Use existing SORACOM CLI profile credentials
Method 1: Using Auth Key Environment Variables
{
"mcpServers": {
"soracom": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@soracom-labs/soracom-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY_ID": "your-key-id",
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY": "your-token",
"SORACOM_COVERAGE_TYPE": "jp"
}
}
}
}
Required environment variables:
- SORACOM_AUTH_KEY_ID: Your SORACOM authentication key ID
- SORACOM_AUTH_KEY: Your SORACOM authentication key token
Get your authentication keys from:
- Manage Root User Credentials (Japanese)
- AuthKeys (English)
Method 2: Using SORACOM CLI Profile
If you have configured SORACOM CLI profiles, you can use them instead:
{
"mcpServers": {
"soracom": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@soracom-labs/soracom-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"SORACOM_PROFILE": "production"
}
}
}
}
Required environment variable:
- SORACOM_PROFILE: SORACOM CLI profile name
- Credentials are loaded from
~/.soracom/<profile>.json - Profile file should contain
authKeyIdandauthKeyfields - See SORACOM CLI Basic Usage for profile configuration details
- Credentials are loaded from
Common Environment Variable (Both Methods)
- SORACOM_COVERAGE_TYPE: API coverage region
"jp"for Japan coverage"g"for Global coverage- Priority: Environment variable > Profile
coverageType> Default"jp"
That's it! No installation needed - npx will download and run the server automatically.
Security Recommendation
For enhanced security, we recommend creating a SAM (SORACOM Access Management) user with permissions limited to only the necessary API operations, rather than using your root user credentials. Generate the AuthKey ID and Token from this SAM user for use with this MCP server.
Using with Docker
You can also run the MCP server using Docker. Build the image with the following command:
docker build -t soracom-mcp-server:latest .
Settings are like below:
{
"mcpServers": {
"soracom": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e",
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY_ID",
"-e",
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY",
"soracom-mcp-server:latest"
],
"env": {
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY_ID": "your-key-id",
"SORACOM_AUTH_KEY": "your-token",
"SORACOM_COVERAGE_TYPE": "jp"
}
}
}
}
Usage
Command Naming Convention
All commands follow the pattern Category_operationId where:
- Category is the API category (e.g.,
Sim,Billing,Stats) - operationId is the operation name from the SORACOM API
Examples:
Sim_getSim- Get SIM informationBilling_getLatestBilling- Get latest billing informationQuery_searchSims- Search for SIMs
Example Commands in Claude Desktop
Get information for SIM ID "8981100000000000000" using the Sim_getSim command
List all active SIMs with limit 10 using the Sim_listSims command
Show billing for current month using the Billing_getLatestBilling command
Find SIMs with name containing "production" using the Query_searchSims command
Coverage Selection
- Default: Set
SORACOM_COVERAGE_TYPEto"jp"or"g"in config - Per-command: Each command accepts optional
coverageparameter
Available Tools
See Available Tools Documentation for the complete list of supported commands.
