--- title: "Azure Automation MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 160 Azure Automation actions through one MCP server: runbooks, watchers. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/azure-automation updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · MSP & PSA # 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. [Connect Azure Automation free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 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. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "azure_automation.operations.list", intent: "check which Azure Automation account is connected" } # Lists all of the available Automation REST API operations · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 160 actions in one signed file - 80 read look, never change - 50 write create and update - 30 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first 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_id` Entra application (client) id of a service principal with an Azure RBAC role on the subscription - `client_secret` Entra client secret - `tenant_id` Your 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 call check { action: "azure_automation.jobs.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Azure Automation at a glance **Sign-in** OAuth 2.0, client credentials.

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?** 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.
