Botpress MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Botpress and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 189 Botpress actions (93 reads, 68 writes and 28 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Botpress credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Botpress'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 Botpress 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.

Connect Botpress.
Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

Top actions
The Botpress API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 26 of Botpress's 26 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Questions
The Botpress MCP server, answered.
Is there a Botpress MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 189 Botpress actions across bots, integrations, tables and workspaces, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Botpress.
What do I need to connect Botpress?
Botpress Personal Access Token (Botpress Dashboard > your profile > Personal Access Tokens), or a Bot Access Key /…. Plus your bot id and your workspace id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "botpress" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Botpress?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 28 Botpress actions are destructive, including delete file, delete table and delete workspace. 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 Botpress API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Botpress service file: 300 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (57 Botpress actions can be), which never reaches Botpress.
What does a Botpress action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (189 Botpress actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Botpress 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 Botpress API does it cover?
The Botpress API 1.132.0 (OpenAPI 3.0.0) at api.botpress.cloud. It is built from Botpress's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 189 actions in 51 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Botpress 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 Botpress 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.
