Coda MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Coda and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 125 Coda actions (68 reads, 40 writes and 17 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Coda credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Coda'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 Coda 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.

Top actions
The Coda API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 14 of Coda's 14 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Coda
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
17 Coda actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a folder
coda.folders.delete - Delete a doc
coda.docs.delete - Delete a row
coda.rows.delete - Delete a page
coda.pages.delete - Unpublish a doc
coda.docs.unpublish - Delete several rows from a table
coda.rows.delete_many - Delete content elements from a page
coda.pages.delete_content - Delete a Pack
coda.packs.delete - Remove a custom domain from a doc
coda.doc_domains.delete - Remove a maker from a Pack
coda.pack_makers.delete - Remove a category from a Pack
coda.pack_categories.delete - Revoke a Pack invitation
coda.pack_invitations.delete - Delete a permission from a Pack
coda.pack_permissions.delete - Remove a permission from a doc
coda.doc_acl.delete_permission - Delete a Pack's listing draft
coda.pack_listing_drafts.delete - Remove the current user's permission on a Pack
coda.pack_permissions.delete_mine - Cancel a Pack's pending review
coda.pack_reviews.cancel_pending
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.

What Coda costs on actionlake.
Every Coda action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Coda 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 Coda MCP server, answered.
Is there a Coda MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 125 Coda actions across packs, pages, analytics and doc acl, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Coda.
What do I need to connect Coda?
Coda API token. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "coda" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Coda?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 17 Coda actions are destructive, including delete a folder, delete a doc and delete a row. 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 Coda API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Coda service file: 100 calls per 6 seconds per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (67 Coda actions can be), which never reaches Coda.
What does a Coda action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (125 Coda actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Coda 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 Coda API does it cover?
The Coda API v1 (OpenAPI 3.0.0, 1.6.0) at coda.io/apis/v1. It is built from Coda's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 125 actions in 32 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Coda 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 Coda 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.
