--- title: "Google Artifact Registry MCP server - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 61 Google Artifact Registry actions through one MCP server: repositories. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/google-artifact-registry updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Developer & infrastructure # 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. [Connect Google Artifact Registry 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: "gcp_artifact_registry.projects.get_project_settings", intent: "check which Google Artifact Registry account is connected" } # Projects: get project settings · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 61 actions in one signed file - 32 read look, never change - 18 write create and update - 11 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first 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_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` Google OAuth client id (Google Cloud console > APIs & Services > Credentials; enable the Artifact Registry API on… - `client_secret` Google OAuth client secret ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "gcp_artifact_registry" } # 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: "gcp_artifact_registry.projects.get_project_settings" } # projects: get project settings · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Google Artifact Registry at a glance **Sign-in** 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. **You provide** `access_token` `refresh_token` `client_id` `client_secret` **Limits we pace to** 600 calls a minute, per connection **API covered** 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)`artifactregistry.googleapis.com` **Built from** Google Artifact Registry's documentation, read 23 October 2026[artifactregistry.googleapis.com](https://artifactregistry.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1) [cloud.google.com](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/reference/rest) **Service file** Version 1.0.0, signed (Ed25519) **Cached reads** 29 of 32 reads, for up to 5 minutes; a write clears what it affects **Shared entities** 2, so ask can line Google Artifact Registry up with your other systems **Data** Processed and stored in Sydney, Australia.

These are all of them: - Projects locations repositories: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.delete` - Projects locations repositories files: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_files.delete` - Projects locations repositories: set iam policy `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.set_iam_policy` - Projects locations repositories: remove prewarmed artifact `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.remove_prewarmed_artifact` - Projects locations operations: cancel `gcp_artifact_registry.operations.cancel` - Projects locations repositories packages: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages.delete` - Projects locations repositories packages tags: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_tags.delete` - Projects locations repositories packages versions: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_versions.delete` - Projects locations repositories packages versions: batch delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_packages_versions.batch_delete` - Projects locations repositories rules: delete `gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_rules.delete` - Projects locations repositories attachments: delete `gcp_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. do gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.delete confirm_policy: **human** Projects locations repositories: delete? **intent:** the user asked me to projects locations repositories: delete run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _gcp-artifact-registry-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "gcp-artifact-registry-agent", allowed_actions: ["gcp_artifact_registry.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "gcp_artifact_registry.repositories_files.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "gcp_artifact_registry.repositories.set_iam_policy", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Google Artifact Registry only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. 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. - 1 upstream call per action all 61 Google Artifact Registry actions - 13 actions page each page of a long list is one call -

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. ## More connectors like Google Artifact Registry Shares the most action names with - [Bitrise 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bitrise) - [Harbor 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/harbor) - [Red Hat Quay / Quay.io 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/red-hat-quay-quay-io) - [Cloudsmith 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cloudsmith) - [Harness Platform 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/harness-platform) - [LaunchDarkly 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/launchdarkly) Joins with, on shared entities - [Unified.to 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/unified-to) - [Gitea 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/gitea) - [Forgejo 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/forgejo) - [Hugging Face 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hugging-face) - [SonarQube Cloud 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sonarqube-cloud) - [JFrog Artifactory 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/jfrog-artifactory) Browse - [All Developer & infrastructure connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/developer-and-infrastructure) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
