Azure Automation MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Azure Automation and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 160 Azure Automation actions (80 reads, 50 writes and 30 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Azure Automation credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Azure Automation's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Azure Automation in three steps.

  1. 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.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Azure Automation.

    OAuth 2.0, client credentials. Paste the app's client id and secret; actionlake fetches and renews the token, and nobody has to sign in. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • client_idEntra application (client) id of a service principal with an Azure RBAC role on the subscription
    • client_secretEntra client secret
    • tenant_idYour Azure Automation tenant id
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_automation" }
# free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

    do    { action: "azure_automation.operations.list" }# lists all of the available automation rest api operations · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "azure_automation.jobs.create", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Top actions

The Azure Automation API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 19 of Azure Automation's 19 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

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 Azure Automation MCP server, answered.

Is there an Azure Automation MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 160 Azure Automation actions across runbooks, watchers, automation accounts and hybrid runbook workers, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Azure Automation.

What do I need to connect Azure Automation?

Entra application (client) id of a service principal with an Azure RBAC role on the subscription and Entra client secret. Plus your tenant id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "azure_automation" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Azure Automation?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 30 Azure Automation actions are destructive, including delete the webhook by name, delete the schedule identified by schedule name and delete the runbook by name. 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 Azure Automation API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Azure Automation service file: 200 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (73 Azure Automation actions can be), which never reaches Azure Automation.

What does an Azure Automation action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (41 Azure Automation actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Azure Automation 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 Azure Automation API does it cover?

The Azure Automation (runbooks, jobs and job streams, schedules, variables, credentials, Hybrid Runbook Workers, DSC) API Azure Resource Manager Microsoft.Automation: openapi.json (2024-10-23) at management.azure.com. It is built from Azure Automation's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 160 actions in 45 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Azure Automation 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 Azure Automation 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?
