Connecteam MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Connecteam and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 163 Connecteam actions (69 reads, 65 writes and 29 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Connecteam credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Connecteam'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 Connecteam 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.

Connect Connecteam.
API key. 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.

Top actions
The Connecteam API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 30 of Connecteam's 30 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

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.

Questions
The Connecteam MCP server, answered.
Is there a Connecteam MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 163 Connecteam actions across shifts, shifts V1, pending users and jobs, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Connecteam.
What do I need to connect Connecteam?
Connecteam API key. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "connecteam" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Connecteam?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 29 Connecteam actions are destructive, including delete user, delete task and delete shift. 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 Connecteam API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Connecteam service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (64 Connecteam actions can be), which never reaches Connecteam.
What does a Connecteam action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (163 Connecteam actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Connecteam 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 Connecteam API does it cover?
The Connecteam API v1 (OpenAPI 3.1.0, 164 operations) at api.connecteam.com. It is built from Connecteam's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 163 actions in 70 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Connecteam 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 Connecteam 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.
