Australia Post MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Australia Post and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 43 Australia Post actions (33 reads, 7 writes and 3 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Australia Post credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Australia Post's limits and records every call.

Governance for Australia Post

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

3 Australia Post actions are destructive. These are all of them:

Delete shipments deleteaustralia_post.shipments.delete
Delete shipment items deleteaustralia_post.shipment_items.delete
Delete shipments delete manyaustralia_post.shipments.delete_many

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.

Questions

The Australia Post MCP server, answered.

Is there an Australia Post MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 43 Australia Post actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Australia Post.

What do I need to connect Australia Post?

Shipping & Tracking API key (the Basic-auth username), issued with your Australia Post business or StarTrack account, Shipping & Tracking API password (the Basic-auth password) issued with the API key, Australia Post charge account number (10 digits) or StarTrack account number (8 digits) and Optional. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "australia_post" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Australia Post?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 3 Australia Post actions are destructive, including delete shipments delete, delete shipment items delete and delete shipments delete many. 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 Australia Post API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Australia Post service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (33 Australia Post actions can be), which never reaches Australia Post.

What does an Australia Post action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (43 Australia Post actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Australia Post 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 Australia Post API does it cover?

The Australia Post Shipping & Tracking API shipping/v1 at digitalapi.auspost.com.au. It is built from Australia Post's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 43 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Australia Post 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 Australia Post 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.
