Checkr MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Checkr and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 122 Checkr actions (78 reads, 29 writes and 15 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Checkr credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Checkr's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Checkr 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 Checkr.

    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.

# 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.

Top actions

The Checkr API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 13 of Checkr's 13 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Checkr

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

15 Checkr actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Delete a Webhookcheckr.webhooks.delete
  • Delete an existing nodecheckr.nodes.delete
  • Delete an existing Geocheckr.geos.delete
  • Delete an existing Schoolcheckr.schools.delete
  • Delete an existing Packagecheckr.packages.delete
  • Delete an existing Employercheckr.employers.delete
  • Delete a tag from a Reportcheckr.report_tags.remove
  • Request PII removal for a Candidatecheckr.candidates.delete_pii
  • Delete an existing Driver Licensecheckr.driver_licenses.delete
  • Delete a Candidate Storycheckr.candidate_stories.delete
  • Delete an existing Professional Licensecheckr.professional_licenses.delete
  • Cancel an existing Invitationcheckr.invitations.cancel
  • Cancel an existing Subscriptioncheckr.subscriptions.cancel
  • Cancel an existing Adverse Actioncheckr.adverse_actions.cancel
  • Cancel an existing Continuous Checkcheckr.continuous_checks.cancel

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.

Cost

What Checkr costs on actionlake.

Every Checkr action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Checkr 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.

Questions

The Checkr MCP server, answered.

Is there a Checkr MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 122 Checkr actions across reports, candidates, continuous checks and driver licenses, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Checkr.

What do I need to connect Checkr?

Checkr secret API key: in the Checkr Dashboard open Account Settings > Developer Settings and copy the secret key…. Plus your environment. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "checkr" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Checkr?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 15 Checkr actions are destructive, including delete a Webhook, delete an existing node and delete an existing Geo. 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 Checkr API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Checkr service file: 1,200 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (76 Checkr actions can be), which never reaches Checkr.

What does a Checkr action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (122 Checkr actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Checkr 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 Checkr API does it cover?

The Checkr API v1 (+ v2 Form I-9), OpenAPI 3.0.0 from docs.checkr.com at your Checkr instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Checkr's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 122 actions in 59 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Checkr 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 Checkr 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.
