esimdata MCP server

Which MCP servers are esimdata's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameapp.esimdata/esimdataverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under esimdata.app. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 59 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: compare travel eSIM plans by price for a country; check whether your phone supports eSIM; find the cheapest plan with 5 GB for a week abroad.
  • Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "compare travel eSIM plans by price for a country", the likely first call is search_plans.
  • For "check whether your phone supports eSIM", the likely first call is check_phone.
  • For "find the cheapest plan with 5 GB for a week abroad", the likely first call is search_plans.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • search_plans

    Find travel eSIM data plans for a destination from every provider esimdata tracks, ranked neutrally by price (or price per GB, or validity). Filter by trip length, data, unlimited, needs (hotspot, 5G, phone number, top-up, no ID check)…

  • get_plan

    Everything esimdata knows about one plan (by the id search_plans returned): all countries it covers, networks, policies, the provider's own page, the buy link and its price history.

  • compare_plans

    Put 2 to 10 plans (ids from search_plans) side by side with the same fields, in the order given, to help a traveller choose.

  • country_overview

    A destination at a glance: how many plans and providers, the cheapest plan, the cheapest per GB, and which mobile networks the providers say they use there.

  • check_phone

    Check whether a phone, tablet or watch model supports eSIM, from the manufacturer's own published list (with regional exceptions, e.g. models sold in mainland China), with the source link.

  • list_providers

    Every eSIM provider esimdata compares, with its website and whether esimdata earns a commission when a traveller buys through it (ranking never depends on it).

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esimdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://esimdata.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http esimdata https://esimdata.app/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://esimdata.app/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
