# Dotdigital MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Dotdigital and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 324 Dotdigital actions (170 reads, 107 writes and 47 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Dotdigital credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Dotdigital's limits and records every call.

[Connect Dotdigital 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: "dotdigital.address_books.list",
  intent: "check which Dotdigital account is connected"
}
# Get lists · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 324 actions in one signed file
- 170 read look, never change
- 107 write create and update
- 47 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Dotdigital 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 Dotdigital.
   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.
   - `api_user` Dotdigital API user email (Settings > Access > API users; it looks like apiuser-xxxx@apiconnector.com)
   - `api_password` The API user's password
   - `region` Your Dotdigital region
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "dotdigital" }
   # 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: "dotdigital.address_books.list" }
   # get lists · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "dotdigital.address_books.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Dotdigital actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Find the Dotdigital contacts with no email address, so we can clean them up.
   calls `dotdigital.contacts.list`
2. Write write
   Create list in Dotdigital. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `dotdigital.address_books.create`
3. Across systems read
   Which contacts are in both Dotdigital and HaloPSA, and how many are in only one of them?
   calls `dotdigital.contacts.list` `halopsa.users.list`

Across your systems

## Dotdigital, joined to the rest of your business.

One `ask` fetches from Dotdigital and another system, joins the rows on the same customer on our side, and hands your agent the answer, not every row.

- Which contacts are in both Dotdigital and HaloPSA, and how many are in only one of them?
  `dotdigital.contacts.list` + `halopsa.users.list`, on `crm.contact` · [HaloPSA](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa)
- Which contacts are in both Dotdigital and NetSuite, and how many are in only one of them?
  `dotdigital.contacts.list` + `netsuite.views.contacts`, on `crm.contact` · [NetSuite](https://actionlake.com/connectors/netsuite)

Also mapped by other connectors `crm.contact` **192** `comm.audience` **27** `comm.audience_segment` **18** `comm.audience_member` **16**

ask

```
ask {
  intent: "which contacts are in both Dotdigital and HaloPSA, and how many are in only one of them",
  steps: [
    { action: "dotdigital.contacts.list", as: "people", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { action: "halopsa.users.list", as: "people2", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { join: {
        left: "people",
        right: "people2",
        on: "crm.contact",
        group_by: "people.email",
        select: ["people.email", "count(people2.id) as in_halopsa"]
    } }
  ]
}
```

Example. Run it through check first: it validates the steps and prices them, and it is free.

Governance for Dotdigital

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

47 Dotdigital actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Delete list `dotdigital.address_books.delete`
- Delete contact `dotdigital.contacts.delete`
- Delete campaign `dotdigital.campaigns.delete`
- Deletes a Message `dotdigital.messages.delete`
- Deletes a chat `dotdigital.chats.delete`
- Deletes webhook `dotdigital.webhooks.delete`
- Delete a file `dotdigital.content.delete`
- Deletes a Profile `dotdigital.profiles.delete`
- Deletes a contact using a specific identifier `dotdigital.contacts_v3.delete`
- Delete contact data field `dotdigital.data_fields.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 dotdigital.address_books.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete list?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete list

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _dotdigital-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "dotdigital-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["dotdigital.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "dotdigital.address_books.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "dotdigital.contacts.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "dotdigital.campaigns.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Dotdigital only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Questions

## The Dotdigital MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Dotdigital MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 324 Dotdigital actions across campaign activity, contacts, campaigns and profiles, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Dotdigital.

**What do I need to connect Dotdigital?**

Dotdigital API user email (Settings > Access > API users; it looks like apiuser-xxxx@apiconnector.com) and The API user's password. Plus your region. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "dotdigital" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Dotdigital?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 47 Dotdigital actions are destructive, including delete list, delete contact and delete campaign. 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 Dotdigital API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Dotdigital service file: 2,000 calls an hour per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (169 Dotdigital actions can be), which never reaches Dotdigital.

**What does a Dotdigital action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (324 Dotdigital actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Dotdigital 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 Dotdigital API does it cover?**

The Dotdigital API v2 + v3 services + CPaaS (OpenAPI documents for v3.5) at your Dotdigital instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting (path -api.dotdigital.com). It is built from Dotdigital's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 324 actions in 66 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Can I combine Dotdigital with my other systems?**

Yes. ask joins Dotdigital to HaloPSA or NetSuite on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Dotdigital maps crm.contact, which 192 other connectors also map.

**Does actionlake keep my Dotdigital 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 Dotdigital 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.
