# Canvas Medical MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Canvas Medical and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 117 Canvas Medical actions (80 reads and 37 writes) and holds the Canvas Medical credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Canvas Medical's limits and records every call.

[Connect Canvas Medical 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: "canvas_medical.appointments.search",
  intent: "check which Canvas Medical account is connected"

- 117 actions in one signed file
- 80 read look, never change
- 37 write create and update
- 0 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Canvas Medical 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 Canvas Medical.
   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` Client ID of a Confidential OAuth application with the client-credentials grant, registered at [your…
   - `client_secret` Client Secret of that application
   - `tenant_host` Where your Canvas Medical lives: your tenant host
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "canvas_medical" }
   # 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: "canvas_medical.appointments.search" }
   # search appointment resources · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "canvas_medical.tasks.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Canvas Medical actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Which Canvas Medical tasks are overdue, and who owns each one?
   calls `canvas_medical.tasks.search`
2. Write write
   Create a Task in Canvas Medical. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `canvas_medical.tasks.create`
3. Across systems read
   Which Canvas Medical companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each?
   calls `canvas_medical.organizations.search` `connectwise_manage.invoices.list`

Across your systems

## Canvas Medical, joined to the rest of your business.

One `ask` fetches from Canvas Medical and another system, joins the rows on the same customer on our side, and hands your agent the answer, not every row.

- Which Canvas Medical companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each?
  `canvas_medical.organizations.search` + `connectwise_manage.invoices.list`, on `crm.company` · [ConnectWise PSA](https://actionlake.com/connectors/connectwise-psa)
- Which Canvas Medical companies have invoices in NetSuite, and how many each?
  `canvas_medical.organizations.search` + `netsuite.views.invoices`, on `crm.company` · [NetSuite](https://actionlake.com/connectors/netsuite)

Also mapped by other connectors `crm.company` **227** `work.task` **105** `crm.location` **49** `service.service_appointment` **9**

ask

```
ask {
  intent: "which Canvas Medical companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each",
  steps: [
    { action: "canvas_medical.organizations.search", as: "co", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { action: "connectwise_manage.invoices.list", as: "inv", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { join: {
        left: "co",
        right: "inv",
        on: "crm.company",
        group_by: "co.name",
        select: ["co.name", "count(inv.id) as invoices"]
    } }
  ]
}
```

Example. Run it through check first: it validates the steps and prices them, and it is free.

Governance for Canvas Medical

## Every write can wait for a yes.

None of Canvas Medical's actions is destructive. A key can still be held to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

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.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "canvas-medical-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["canvas_medical.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes"
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Canvas Medical only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed.

Cost

## What Canvas Medical costs on actionlake.

Every Canvas Medical action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Canvas Medical refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. 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.

- 1 upstream call per action all 117 Canvas Medical actions
- 117 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 2 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing

Questions

## The Canvas Medical MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Canvas Medical MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 117 Canvas Medical actions across allergy intolerances, appointments, claims and conditions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Canvas Medical.

**What do I need to connect Canvas Medical?**

Client ID of a Confidential OAuth application with the client-credentials grant, registered at [your… and Client Secret of that application. Plus your tenant host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "canvas_medical" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent change things in Canvas Medical?**

Only if its key allows it. 37 Canvas Medical actions write, and none is destructive. A key can be limited to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

**Will an AI agent use up my Canvas Medical API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Canvas Medical service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (2 Canvas Medical actions can be), which never reaches Canvas Medical.

**What does a Canvas Medical action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (117 Canvas Medical actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Canvas Medical 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 Canvas Medical API does it cover?**

The Canvas FHIR R4 API (FHIR 4.0.1, US Core), docs.canvasmedical.com/api as of 2026-10-23 at your Canvas Medical instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Canvas Medical's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 117 actions in 46 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Can I combine Canvas Medical with my other systems?**

Yes. ask joins Canvas Medical to ConnectWise PSA or NetSuite on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Canvas Medical maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map.

**Does actionlake keep my Canvas Medical 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 Canvas Medical 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.
