--- title: "Elastic Email MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 109 Elastic Email actions through one MCP server: contacts, domains, subaccounts. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/elastic-email updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Email & messaging # Elastic Email MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Elastic Email and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 109 Elastic Email actions (49 reads, 42 writes and 18 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Elastic Email credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Elastic Email's limits and records every call. [Connect Elastic Email 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: "elastic_email.contacts.list", intent: "check which Elastic Email account is connected" } # List contacts · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 109 actions in one signed file - 49 read look, never change - 42 write create and update - 18 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Elastic Email 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 Elastic Email. 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. - `api_key` Elastic Email API key ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "elastic_email" } # 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: "elastic_email.contacts.list" } # list contacts · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "elastic_email.contacts.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Elastic Email at a glance **Sign-in** API key.

These are all of them: - Delete a contact `elastic_email.contacts.delete` - Delete a contact list `elastic_email.lists.delete` - Delete a segment `elastic_email.segments.delete` - Delete a sending domain `elastic_email.domains.delete` - Remove contacts from a list `elastic_email.list_contacts.remove` - Delete an email template `elastic_email.templates.delete` - Delete a campaign `elastic_email.campaigns.delete` - Remove an email address from suppressions `elastic_email.suppressions.delete` - Delete an API key `elastic_email.api_keys.delete` - Delete a stored file `elastic_email.files.delete` - Delete a webhook `elastic_email.webhooks.delete` - Delete a subaccount `elastic_email.subaccounts.delete` - Delete contacts by email list or rule `elastic_email.contacts.delete_bulk` - Delete a stored verification result `elastic_email.verifications.delete` - Delete an inbound route `elastic_email.inbound_routes.delete` - Rotate a webhook's signing secret (the old secret stops working) `elastic_email.webhooks.rotate_secret` - Delete SMTP credentials `elastic_email.smtp_credentials.delete` - Delete a bulk verification file and its result `elastic_email.verification_files.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 elastic_email.contacts.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete a contact? **intent:** the user asked me to delete a contact run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _elastic-email-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "elastic-email-agent", allowed_actions: ["elastic_email.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "elastic_email.contacts.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "elastic_email.lists.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "elastic_email.segments.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "elastic_email" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Elastic Email?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 18 Elastic Email actions are destructive, including delete a contact, delete a contact list and delete a segment. 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 Elastic Email API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Elastic Email service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (44 Elastic Email actions can be), which never reaches Elastic Email. **What does an Elastic Email action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (109 Elastic Email actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Elastic Email 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 Elastic Email API does it cover?** The Elastic Email REST API v4 (OpenAPI 3.0.3, 4.0.0) at api.elasticemail.com/v4. It is built from Elastic Email's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 109 actions in 27 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Can I combine Elastic Email with my other systems?** Yes. ask joins Elastic Email to HaloPSA or NetSuite on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Elastic Email maps crm.contact, which 192 other connectors also map. **Does actionlake keep my Elastic Email 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 Elastic Email 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 Elastic Email Shares the most action names with - [Resend 44](https://actionlake.com/connectors/resend) - [Sinch Mailjet 42](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sinch-mailjet) - [Bird 40](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bird) - [Mailtrap 27](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mailtrap) - [Dotdigital 26](https://actionlake.com/connectors/dotdigital) - [SparkPost 24](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sparkpost) Joins with, on shared entities - [Brevo 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/brevo) - [Circle 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/circle) - [beehiiv 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/beehiiv) - [ActiveCampaign 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/activecampaign) - [Cvent 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cvent) - [Qualtrics XM 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/qualtrics-xm) Browse - [All Email & messaging connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/email-and-messaging) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
