The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "anthropic_admin" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Claude Admin (Anthropic)?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 13 Claude Admin (Anthropic) actions are destructive, including remove User, delete RBAC Group and remove RBAC Group Member. 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 Claude Admin (Anthropic) API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Claude Admin (Anthropic) service file: at most 16 at a time per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (3 Claude Admin (Anthropic) actions can be), which never reaches Claude Admin (Anthropic). **What does a Claude Admin (Anthropic) action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (115 Claude Admin (Anthropic) actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Claude Admin (Anthropic) 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 Claude Admin (Anthropic) API does it cover?** The Claude Admin (Anthropic) API 2023-06-01 at api.anthropic.com. It is built from Claude Admin (Anthropic)'s documentation as read on 1 October 2026. 115 actions in 31 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Claude Admin (Anthropic) data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, 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 Claude Admin (Anthropic) 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. ## More connectors like Claude Admin (Anthropic) Shares the most action names with - [OpenAI Admin 41](https://actionlake.com/connectors/openai-admin) - [Mistral AI 24](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mistral-ai) - [OpenRouter 15](https://actionlake.com/connectors/openrouter) - [Portkey 14](https://actionlake.com/connectors/portkey) - [Hugging Face 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hugging-face) - [Braintrust 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/braintrust) Joins with, on shared entities - [Microsoft 365 Users 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-365-users) - [Rubrik Security Cloud 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/rubrik-security-cloud) - [MongoDB Atlas 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mongodb-atlas) - [Gitea 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/gitea) - [Forgejo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/forgejo) - [Unleash 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/unleash) Browse - [All AI connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/ai) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
