varioroam MCP server
Which MCP servers are varioroam'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.

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

On 2026-10-28 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 754 ms.
- Its tools do buy a data pool sized to a country and trip length, but not share the trip data with a laptop via hotspot; connect a travel router to an eSIM for group data.
Once connected
- For "buy a data pool sized to a country and trip length", the likely first call is recommend_config.
- Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 6 of 8 tools: check arguments before calling.
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.

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 →
get_shop_factsWhat varioroam is and how it works, in the shop’s own words: the configurable eSIM, ranges, delivery, payment, hotspot, activation, top-ups (add data or days), e-mails, support. Use for any question that is not a price.
list_destinationsEvery country varioroam can build an eSIM for, with the number of selectable networks and the starting price (1 GB, 1 day, cheapest network). Use to check coverage or to compare many countries at once.
get_networksThe mobile networks the customer can tick for one country (operator name, 4G/5G) with the price of a reference eSIM on each network alone (1 GB · 7 days), so you can say which network is the cheapest and what the others add.
quote_esimUse while the customer is still deciding — "how much is …?": the exact price of one eSIM configuration (country, data GB 1–100, days 1–90, networks), the server price the customer would pay. Quote it as returned, never compute or scale it…
price_gridPrices for several GB × days combinations of one country in one call (max 8 × 8), e.g. to compare with other providers or to find the best fit for a trip. Same server prices as quote_esim.
recommend_configUse when the customer describes a trip instead of a size: country (or up to 5), days and how they use data (usage light / normal / heavy, or gb_per_day). Sizes the data pool from the data guide and returns three server-quoted…
plan_tripA trip through several countries (max 5): one eSIM per country, each quoted with the same data pool and days unless given per country (gb omitted = sized for normal use from the days). Returns one line per country with price and buy_url…
start_checkoutUse only once the customer has decided to buy ("I'll take it", "how do I buy?"): the checkout handoff. Returns the buy_url to give the customer, the final price and a ready-to-send checkout block (next_step, payment_methods, delivery)…
How to connect
Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:
{
"mcpServers": {
"esim-catalog": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://varioroam.com/wp-json/varioroam/mcp"
}
}
}Add it
Claude Code, in a terminal
claude mcp add --transport http varioroam https://varioroam.com/wp-json/varioroam/mcpclaude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://varioroam.com/wp-json/varioroam/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.
