It gives your agent 40 Chatbase actions (19 reads, 19 writes and 2 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Chatbase credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Chatbase's limits and records every call. [Connect Chatbase 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 Chatbase. 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. - `access_token` Chatbase API key (Workspace settings > API keys) ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "chatbase" } # 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: "chatbase.agents.list" } # agents: list · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "chatbase.tickets.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Chatbase at a glance **Sign-in** Bearer token.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 14 of Chatbase's 14 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once. | Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `chatbase.tickets.list` Tickets: list | Returns tickets for an agent, sorted by `updatedAt` descending by default. | read | `service.ticket.list` 56 connectors | | `chatbase.tickets.create` Tickets: create | Creates a ticket on behalf of a customer. | write | `service.ticket.create` 54 connectors | | `chatbase.conversations.list` Conversations: list | List conversations created through the API for an agent, ordered by createdAt date. | read | `service.conversation.list` 19 connectors | | `chatbase.conversations.get` Conversations: get | Get conversation metadata and its most recent messages. | read | `service.conversation.get` 19 connectors | | `chatbase.ticket_messages.create` Ticket messages: create | Posts an agent reply to a ticket on behalf of a team member. | write | `service.ticket_note.create` 24 connectors | | `chatbase.ticket_messages.list` Ticket messages: list | Returns a ticket's message thread in chronological order. | read | `service.ticket_note.list` 20 connectors | | `chatbase.ticket_statuses.list` Ticket statuses: list | Returns the active (non-archived) ticket statuses configured for an agent, ordered by category then position. | read | `service.ticket_status.list` 8 connectors | | `chatbase.conversation_messages.list` Conversation messages: list | List all messages in a conversation with cursor-based pagination. | read | `service.conversation_message.list` 6 connectors | | `chatbase.teams.list` Teams: list | Returns the teams configured for an agent, ordered by creation date. | read | `service.ticket_team.list` 3 connectors | | `chatbase.conversations.export` Conversations: export | Export all conversations with full message history for an agent. | read | this connector | | `chatbase.agents.chat` Agents: chat | Send a message to an agent and receive a response. | write | this connector | | `chatbase.agents.delete` Agents: delete | Permanently deletes an agent and all its sources. | destructive | this connector | Try it ## Prompts to paste into Claude. Each one names the Chatbase actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it. 1. Read read Which Chatbase tickets have been open the longest? Show me the ten oldest with their status. calls `chatbase.tickets.list` 2. Write write Tickets: create in Chatbase. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it. calls `chatbase.tickets.create` Governance for Chatbase ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 2 Chatbase actions are destructive. These are all of them: - Agents: delete `chatbase.agents.delete` - Sources: delete `chatbase.sources.delete` 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. do chatbase.agents.delete confirm_policy: **human** Agents: delete? **intent:** the user asked me to agents: delete run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _chatbase-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "chatbase-agent", allowed_actions: ["chatbase.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "chatbase.agents.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "chatbase.sources.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Chatbase only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What Chatbase costs on actionlake. Every Chatbase action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Chatbase refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "chatbase" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Chatbase?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 2 Chatbase actions are destructive, including agents: delete and sources: delete. 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 Chatbase API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Chatbase service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (19 Chatbase actions can be), which never reaches Chatbase. **What does a Chatbase action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (9 Chatbase actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Chatbase 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 Chatbase API does it cover?** The Chatbase API v2 (AI agents, chat, conversations, sources, helpdesk, WhatsApp) API v2 (OpenAPI 2.0.0) at www.chatbase.co. It is built from Chatbase's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 40 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Chatbase 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 Chatbase 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 Chatbase Shares the most action names with - [Botpress 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/botpress) Joins with, on shared entities - [Intercom 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/intercom) - [Planhat 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/planhat) - [ConnectWise PSA 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/connectwise-psa) - [HaloPSA 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [NetSuite 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/netsuite) - [HubSpot CRM 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hubspot-crm) Browse - [All AI connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/ai) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
