Google Artifact Registry MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Google Artifact Registry and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 61 Google Artifact Registry actions (32 reads, 18 writes and 11 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Google Artifact Registry credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Google Artifact Registry's limits and records every call. Connecting Google Artifact Registry needs your own Google Artifact Registry OAuth app and one admin sign-in.

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.

Set up

Connect Google Artifact Registry 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 Google Artifact Registry.

    OAuth 2.0, authorization code with PKCE. You register your own OAuth app with Google Artifact Registry, 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, Google Artifact Registry needs an OAuth app of your own, registered in its developer portal. actionlake has no Google Artifact Registry app to lend you.

    • access_tokenAccess token from one sign-in with your own OAuth app
    • refresh_tokenRefresh token from the same sign-in; the access token is renewed from it
    • client_idGoogle OAuth client id (Google Cloud console > APIs & Services > Credentials; enable the Artifact Registry API on…

  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: "gcp_artifact_registry.projects.get_project_settings" }# projects: get project settings · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.create", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Top actions

The Google Artifact Registry API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 9 of Google Artifact Registry's 9 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

  1. Readread

    List our Google Artifact Registry repositories with their visibility and default branch.

    callsgcp_artifact_registry.repositories.list

  2. Writewrite

    Projects locations repositories: create in Google Artifact Registry. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

    callsgcp_artifact_registry.repositories.create

Governance for Google Artifact Registry

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

11 Google Artifact Registry actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Projects locations repositories: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories.delete
  • Projects locations repositories files: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_files.delete
  • Projects locations repositories: set iam policygcp_artifact_registry.repositories.set_iam_policy
  • Projects locations repositories: remove prewarmed artifactgcp_artifact_registry.repositories.remove_prewarmed_artifact
  • Projects locations operations: cancelgcp_artifact_registry.operations.cancel
  • Projects locations repositories packages: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages.delete
  • Projects locations repositories packages tags: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_tags.delete
  • Projects locations repositories packages versions: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_versions.delete
  • Projects locations repositories packages versions: batch deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_versions.batch_delete
  • Projects locations repositories rules: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_rules.delete
  • Projects locations repositories attachments: deletegcp_artifact_registry.repositories_attachments.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.

Cost

What Google Artifact Registry costs on actionlake.

Every Google Artifact Registry action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Google Artifact Registry 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.

Questions

The Google Artifact Registry MCP server, answered.

Is there a Google Artifact Registry MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 61 Google Artifact Registry actions across repositories, locations, repositories packages tags and repositories packages versions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Google Artifact Registry.

What do I need to connect Google Artifact Registry?

Your own Google Artifact Registry OAuth app, registered with Google Artifact Registry (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Google Artifact Registry app of its own, so this is not a one-step consent. actionlake renews the access token as it expires. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "gcp_artifact_registry" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Google Artifact Registry?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 11 Google Artifact Registry actions are destructive, including projects locations repositories: delete, projects locations repositories files: delete and projects locations repositories: set iam policy. 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 Google Artifact Registry API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Google Artifact Registry service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (29 Google Artifact Registry actions can be), which never reaches Google Artifact Registry.

What does a Google Artifact Registry action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (13 Google Artifact Registry actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Google Artifact Registry 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 Google Artifact Registry API does it cover?

The Google Artifact Registry API v1 (repositories, packages, versions, tags, files, Docker images, Maven/npm/Python artifacts, rules, attachments, operations) API artifactregistry v1 (Discovery revision 20261022) at artifactregistry.googleapis.com. It is built from Google Artifact Registry's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 61 actions in 18 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Google Artifact Registry 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 Google Artifact Registry 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.
