--- title: "Etsy MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 101 Etsy actions through one MCP server: listings, return policies. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/etsy updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Commerce # Etsy MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Etsy and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 101 Etsy actions (64 reads, 25 writes and 12 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Etsy credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Etsy's limits and records every call. Connecting Etsy needs your own Etsy OAuth app and one admin sign-in. [Connect Etsy 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: "etsy_open_api.buyer_taxonomy.list_nodes", intent: "check which Etsy account is connected" } # List buyer taxonomy nodes · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 101 actions in one signed file - 64 read look, never change - 25 write create and update - 12 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Etsy 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 Etsy. OAuth 2.0, authorization code with PKCE. You register your own OAuth app with Etsy, an admin signs in once, and you paste the app's client id and secret and the tokens from that sign-in; actionlake renews the access token from then on. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. Before the first sign-in, Etsy needs an OAuth app of your own, registered in its developer portal. actionlake has no Etsy app to lend you. - `access_token` Access token from one sign-in with your own OAuth app - `refresh_token` Refresh token from the same sign-in; the access token is renewed from it - `client_id` Etsy app keystring (etsy.com/developers/your-apps > your app > Keystring) - `client_secret` Etsy app shared secret (same page) ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "etsy_open_api" } # 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: "etsy_open_api.buyer_taxonomy.list_nodes" } # list buyer taxonomy nodes · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "etsy_open_api.listings.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Etsy at a glance **Sign-in** OAuth 2.0, authorization code with PKCE. You register your own OAuth app with Etsy, an admin signs in once, and you paste the app's client id and secret and the tokens from that sign-in; actionlake renews the access token from then on. **You provide** `access_token` `refresh_token` `client_id` `client_secret` **Limits we pace to** 5 calls a second, per connection **API covered** Etsy Open API v3 (3.0.0, OpenAPI 3.0.2)`api.etsy.com` **Built from** Etsy's documentation, read 23 October 2026[etsy.com](https://www.etsy.com/openapi/generated/oas/3.0.0.json) [developers.etsy.com](https://developers.etsy.com/documentation/) **Service file** Version 1.0.0, signed (Ed25519) **Cached reads** 63 of 64 reads, for up to 5 minutes; a write clears what it affects **Shared entities** 3, so ask can line Etsy up with your other systems **Data** Processed and stored in Sydney, Australia.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "etsy_open_api" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Etsy?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 12 Etsy actions are destructive, including delete a listing, delete a listing image and delete a listing file. 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 Etsy API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Etsy service file: 5 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (63 Etsy actions can be), which never reaches Etsy. **What does an Etsy action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (101 Etsy actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Etsy 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 Etsy API does it cover?** The Etsy Open API v3 (3.0.0, OpenAPI 3.0.2) at api.etsy.com. It is built from Etsy's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 101 actions in 32 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Etsy 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 Etsy 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 Etsy Shares the most action names with - [AfterShip 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/aftership) - [ShipHero 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/shiphero) - [Mintsoft 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mintsoft) - [Starshipit 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/starshipit) - [Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/extensiv-3pl-warehouse-manager) - [Linnworks 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/linnworks) Joins with, on shared entities - [Clover 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/clover) - [Lightspeed Retail X-Series 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lightspeed-retail-x-series) - [Ecwid by Lightspeed 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/ecwid-by-lightspeed) - [Toast 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/toast) - [Lightspeed Restaurant (K-Series) 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lightspeed-restaurant-k-series) - [HaloPSA 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) Browse - [All Commerce connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/commerce) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
