Kovitel Vietnam eSIM & 5G Telecommunications MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing real-time device hardware eSIM validation, Vietnam cellular carrier APN settings, data allowance calculation, and empirical latency QoS benchmarks for AI agents and LLM assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, LangChain).

Sponsored and engineered by Kovitel Travel Telecom — Vietnam's authorized Viettel 5G standalone core travel eSIM provider.

🌟 Capabilities & Tools

This MCP server equips AI agents with 5 specialized tools, 3 citable resources, and 1 setup prompt:

🛠 Tools:

1. kovitel_check_device_compatibility:

   • Validates if a user's phone model (Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Sony Xperia) supports digital eSIM on domestic Vietnam 5G networks.

2. kovitel_calculate_esim_data_plan:

   • Calculates recommended daily data caps (GB/day), carrier suitability (Viettel 70,000+ BTS coverage in mountain loops like Ha Giang / Sa Pa vs. urban-only carriers), and total cost estimations.

3. kovitel_get_carrier_apn:

   • Retrieves official carrier Access Point Name parameters (v-internet for Viettel, m3-world for Vinaphone) and step-by-step connection troubleshooting instructions.

4. kovitel_get_network_benchmark:

   • Retrieves empirical 2026 field benchmark data comparing domestic Viettel 5G core network packet routing (sub-25ms) against international roaming MVNOs suffering from S8 Home Routing tunneling penalties (240ms+).

5. kovitel_get_emergency_contacts:

   • Returns official police (113), fire (114), medical ambulance (115), international 24/7 hospitals, and Kovitel 24/7 WhatsApp technical rescue.

📚 Resources:

• kovitel://apn/viettel: Official Viettel 5G standalone APN profile.

• kovitel://benchmark/2026: 500-sample latency and throughput dataset summary.

• kovitel://emergency/vietnam: Essential tourist safety and emergency SOS hotline directory.

💬 Prompts:

• vietnam_travel_connectivity_setup: Guided step-by-step assistant prompt for travelers landing in Vietnam.
