It gives your agent 157 Braintree actions (46 reads, 73 writes and 38 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Braintree credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Braintree's limits and records every call. [Connect Braintree free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month.

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 Braintree. Username and secret. 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. - `public_key` Braintree API public key (Control Panel > Settings > API > API Keys) - `private_key` Braintree API private key paired with the public key - `host` Where your Braintree lives: your host ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "braintree" } # 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: "braintree.apple_pay.list_registered_domains" } # list registered apple pay domains · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "braintree.customers.create_customer", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Braintree at a glance **Sign-in** Username and secret.

Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "braintree" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Braintree?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 38 Braintree actions are destructive, including void transaction, delete customer and capture transaction. 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 Braintree API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Braintree service file: 20 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (46 Braintree actions can be), which never reaches Braintree. **What does a Braintree action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (157 Braintree actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Braintree 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 Braintree API does it cover?** The Braintree GraphQL API (Braintree-Version 2025-01-01) at payments.braintree-api.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Braintree's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 157 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Braintree 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 Braintree 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 Braintree Shares the most action names with - [Checkout.com 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/checkout-com) - [Mollie 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mollie) - [GoCardless 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/gocardless) - [Recurly 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/recurly) - [Razorpay 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/razorpay) - [Maxio Advanced Billing 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/maxio-advanced-billing) Joins with, on shared entities - [Shopify Admin 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/shopify-admin) - [WooCommerce 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/woocommerce) - [EasyPost 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/easypost) - [HaloPSA 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [BigCommerce 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bigcommerce) - [Zoho Inventory 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/zoho-inventory) Browse - [All Accounting & finance connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/accounting-and-finance) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
