It gives your agent 390 Cornerstone OnDemand actions (251 reads, 107 writes and 32 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Cornerstone OnDemand credential itself, so the agent never does.

Questions ## The Cornerstone OnDemand MCP server, answered. **Is there a Cornerstone OnDemand MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 390 Cornerstone OnDemand actions across reporting, communities, jobs and employees, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Cornerstone OnDemand. **What do I need to connect Cornerstone OnDemand?** Client ID of an application registered in Admin > Tools > Edge > API Management and Client secret of that application (shown once at registration. Plus your host and your scope. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "cornerstone_ondemand" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Cornerstone OnDemand?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 32 Cornerstone OnDemand actions are destructive, including archive a job, delete Interview and delete Community. 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 Cornerstone OnDemand API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Cornerstone OnDemand service file: 417 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (250 Cornerstone OnDemand actions can be), which never reaches Cornerstone OnDemand. **What does a Cornerstone OnDemand action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (390 Cornerstone OnDemand actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Cornerstone OnDemand 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 Cornerstone OnDemand API does it cover?** The Cornerstone OnDemand (learning and talent suite: employees, OUs, jobs, transcripts, learning objects, curricula, goals, skills, recruiting, social learning, reporting views, bulk import) API Cornerstone REST APIs (csod.dev OpenAPI 3.0: Core/HR, Learning, Performance, Recruiting, Social Learning, Talent Marketplace, Bulk, Reporting) at your Cornerstone OnDemand instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Cornerstone OnDemand's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 390 actions in 49 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Cornerstone OnDemand 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 Cornerstone OnDemand 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 Cornerstone OnDemand Shares the most action names with - [Employment Hero 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/employment-hero) - [Teamtailor 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/teamtailor) - [Workable 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/workable) - [Deel 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/deel) - [Absorb LMS 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/absorb-lms) - [Lever 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lever) Joins with, on shared entities - [Gusto 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/gusto) - [Odoo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/odoo) - [ERPNext (Frappe) 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/erpnext-frappe) - [Rippling 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/rippling) - [Kombo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/kombo) - [Xero 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/xero) Browse - [All Work & projects connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/work-and-projects) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
