It gives your agent 52 Demandbase actions (33 reads, 16 writes and 3 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Demandbase credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Demandbase's limits and records every call. [Connect Demandbase free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 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. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "demandbase.users.list", intent: "check which Demandbase account is connected" } # Get list of users · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 52 actions in one signed file - 33 read look, never change - 16 write create and update - 3 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Demandbase 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 Demandbase. Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `client_id` Demandbase API keyset Client ID (Demandbase One > Settings > API Keysets; an admin creates the keyset and grants the… - `client_secret` Client Secret of the same API keyset, shown once when the keyset is created ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "demandbase" } # 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: "demandbase.users.list" } # get list of users · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "demandbase.users.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Demandbase at a glance **Sign-in** Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. **You provide** `client_id` `client_secret` **Limits we pace to** 60 calls a minute, per connection **API covered** Demandbase API Suite (B2B v1, Export v1, Import v1, Intent v1, Admin v1)`uapi.demandbase.com` **Built from** Demandbase's documentation, read 23 October 2026[developer.demandbase.com](https://developer.demandbase.com/llms.txt) [developer.demandbase.com](https://developer.demandbase.com/reference) **Service file** Version 1.0.0, signed (Ed25519) **Cached reads** 30 of 33 reads, for up to 5 minutes; a write clears what it affects **Shared entities** 3, so ask can line Demandbase up with your other systems **Data** Processed and stored in Sydney, Australia.

One `ask` fetches from Demandbase and another system, joins the rows on the same customer on our side, and hands your agent the answer, not every row. - Which Demandbase companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each? `demandbase.companies.search` + `connectwise_manage.invoices.list`, on `crm.company` · [ConnectWise PSA](https://actionlake.com/connectors/connectwise-psa) - Which Demandbase companies have invoices in NetSuite, and how many each? `demandbase.companies.search` + `netsuite.views.invoices`, on `crm.company` · [NetSuite](https://actionlake.com/connectors/netsuite) Also mapped by other connectors `identity.user` **517** `crm.company` **227** `crm.contact` **192** ask ``` ask { intent: "which Demandbase companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each", steps: [ { action: "demandbase.companies.search", as: "co", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 }, { action: "connectwise_manage.invoices.list", as: "inv", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 }, { join: { left: "co", right: "inv", on: "crm.company", group_by: "co.name", select: ["co.name", "count(inv.id) as invoices"] } } ] } ``` Example. Run it through check first: it validates the steps and prices them, and it is free. Governance for Demandbase ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 3 Demandbase actions are destructive. These are all of them: - Delete user using external user id `demandbase.users.delete` - Delete a Subscription `demandbase.subscriptions.delete` - Delete a custom source `demandbase.custom_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 demandbase.users.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete user using external user id? **intent:** the user asked me to delete user using external user id run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _demandbase-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "demandbase-agent", allowed_actions: ["demandbase.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "demandbase.users.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "demandbase.subscriptions.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "demandbase.custom_sources.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Demandbase only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What Demandbase costs on actionlake. Every Demandbase action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Demandbase 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. - 1 upstream call per action all 52 Demandbase actions - 52 actions page each page of a long list is one call - 30 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing - 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000 [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) Action index ## Every Demandbase action. 52 actions by area: the id your agent calls, what it does, and its effect. **Subscriptions 6** - `demandbase.subscriptions.create` Create a New Subscription write - `demandbase.subscriptions.delete` Delete a Subscription destructive - `demandbase.subscriptions.get` Retrieve Subscription Details read - `demandbase.subscriptions.list` List Subscriptions read - `demandbase.subscriptions.list_entity_ids` Get Subscription Entity IDs read - `demandbase.subscriptions.update` Update an Existing Subscription write **Custom sources 5** - `demandbase.custom_sources.create` Create a custom source write - `demandbase.custom_sources.delete` Delete a custom source destructive - `demandbase.custom_sources.get` Get a custom source read - `demandbase.custom_sources.list` List custom sources read - `demandbase.custom_sources.update` Update a custom source write **Export jobs 5** - `demandbase.export_jobs.create` Create export job (Account, Opportunity, Person, Activity, Campaign, and Creative) write - `demandbase.export_jobs.create_account_list` Create account list export job write - `demandbase.export_jobs.create_person_list` Create person list export job write - `demandbase.export_jobs.get` Check status of a data export job read - `demandbase.export_jobs.list` Returns a list of submitted export jobs read **Users 5** - `demandbase.users.create` Create new user write - `demandbase.users.delete` Delete user using external user id destructive - `demandbase.users.get` Get a user by external id read - `demandbase.users.list` Get list of users read - `demandbase.users.update` Update users write **Activity types 4** - `demandbase.activity_types.create` Create New Activity Type write - `demandbase.activity_types.get` Activity Type Lookup read - `demandbase.activity_types.list` List Activity Types read - `demandbase.activity_types.update` Update Activity Type write **Import jobs 4** - `demandbase.import_jobs.create` Create an import job write - `demandbase.import_jobs.get` Job status read - `demandbase.import_jobs.list` Jobs list read - `demandbase.import_jobs.submit_data` Submit import data write **Bulk jobs 3** - `demandbase.bulk_jobs.create` Create a Bulk Data Retrieval Job write - `demandbase.bulk_jobs.create_match` Match Companies and Contacts in Bulk write - `demandbase.bulk_jobs.get` Get Bulk Job Status read **Companies 2** - `demandbase.companies.get` Fetch company details read - `demandbase.companies.search` Search companies read **Company news 2** - `demandbase.company_news.list_by_category` Fetch company news by category read - `demandbase.company_news.list_feed` Fetch company news feed read **Contacts 2** - `demandbase.contacts.get` Fetch contact details read - `demandbase.contacts.search` Search contacts read **Export references 2** - `demandbase.export_references.get` Get reference data fields for an object read - `demandbase.export_references.list` Get available reference objects read **Field mappings 2** - `demandbase.field_mappings.get` Get field mappings read - `demandbase.field_mappings.upsert` Upsert field mappings write **Subscription alerts 2** - `demandbase.subscription_alerts.get` Retrieve a Specific Subscription Alert read - `demandbase.subscription_alerts.list` List Subscription Alerts read **Subscription jobs 2** - `demandbase.subscription_jobs.get` Check Subscription Job Status read - `demandbase.subscription_jobs.list` List Subscription Jobs read **B2B reference 1** - `demandbase.b2b_reference.get` Get reference data for an object read **Company intent 1** - `demandbase.company_intent.query` Retrieve company intent data read **Credit usage 1** - `demandbase.credit_usage.get` Fetch Credit Usage details read **Export fields 1** - `demandbase.export_fields.list` Export fields read **Import sources 1** - `demandbase.import_sources.list` Sources read **Matches 1** - `demandbase.matches.match` Match companies and contact read Questions ## The Demandbase MCP server, answered. **Is there a Demandbase MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 52 Demandbase actions across subscriptions, custom sources, export jobs and users, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Demandbase. **What do I need to connect Demandbase?** Demandbase API keyset Client ID (Demandbase One > Settings > API Keysets; an admin creates the keyset and grants the… and Client Secret of the same API keyset, shown once when the keyset is created. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "demandbase" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Demandbase?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 3 Demandbase actions are destructive, including delete user using external user id, delete a Subscription and delete a custom source. 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 Demandbase API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Demandbase service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (30 Demandbase actions can be), which never reaches Demandbase. **What does a Demandbase action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (52 Demandbase actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Demandbase 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 Demandbase API does it cover?** The Demandbase API Suite (B2B v1, Export v1, Import v1, Intent v1, Admin v1) at uapi.demandbase.com. It is built from Demandbase's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 52 actions in 20 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Can I combine Demandbase with my other systems?** Yes. ask joins Demandbase to ConnectWise PSA or NetSuite on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Demandbase maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map. **Does actionlake keep my Demandbase 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 Demandbase 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 Demandbase Shares the most action names with - [Qualtrics XM 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/qualtrics-xm) - [SurveySparrow 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/surveysparrow) - [Yext 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/yext) - [Livestorm 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/livestorm) - [Hootsuite 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hootsuite) - [Trustpilot 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/trustpilot) Joins with, on shared entities - [HaloPSA 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [Salesforce Sales Cloud 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/salesforce-sales-cloud) - [Genesys Cloud CX 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/genesys-cloud-cx) - [Bitrix24 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bitrix24) - [Odoo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/odoo) - [Zoho Desk 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/zoho-desk) Browse - [All Marketing & media connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/marketing-and-media) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
