Absorb LMS MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Absorb LMS and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 155 Absorb LMS actions (116 reads, 37 writes and 2 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Absorb LMS credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Absorb LMS's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect Absorb LMS in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Top actions
The Absorb LMS API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 22 of Absorb LMS's 23 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Absorb LMS
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
2 Absorb LMS actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Un-enroll users from courses
absorb_lms.enrollments.unenroll - Unassign users from group
absorb_lms.group_users.unassign
A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.
Un-enroll users from courses?

What Absorb LMS costs on actionlake.
Every Absorb LMS action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Absorb LMS refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions
The Absorb LMS MCP server, answered.
Is there an Absorb LMS MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 155 Absorb LMS actions across users, custom field definitions, departments and enrollment keys, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Absorb LMS.
What do I need to connect Absorb LMS?
Absorb Integration API key, OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "absorb_lms" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Absorb LMS?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 2 Absorb LMS actions are destructive, including un-enroll users from courses and unassign users from group. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my Absorb LMS API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Absorb LMS service file: 200 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (116 Absorb LMS actions can be), which never reaches Absorb LMS.
What does an Absorb LMS action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (155 Absorb LMS actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Absorb LMS refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which Absorb LMS API does it cover?
The Absorb Integration API v2 (x-api-version: 2) at rest.myabsorb.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Absorb LMS's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 155 actions in 71 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Absorb LMS data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Absorb LMS credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
