Google Cloud Billing MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Google Cloud Billing and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 31 Google Cloud Billing actions (16 reads, 11 writes and 4 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Google Cloud Billing credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Google Cloud Billing's limits and records every call. Connecting Google Cloud Billing needs your own Google Cloud Billing OAuth app and one admin sign-in.

Set up

Connect Google Cloud Billing 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 Cloud Billing.

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

Top actions

The Google Cloud Billing API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 5 of Google Cloud Billing's 5 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

Governance for Google Cloud Billing

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

4 Google Cloud Billing actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Billing accounts budgets: deletegcp_cloud_billing.billing_accounts_budgets.delete
  • Billing accounts: set iam policygcp_cloud_billing.billing_accounts.set_iam_policy
  • Tasks: cancelgcp_cloud_billing.tasks.cancel
  • Tasks push notification configs: deletegcp_cloud_billing.tasks_push_notification_configs.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 Cloud Billing costs on actionlake.

Every Google Cloud Billing action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Google Cloud Billing 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 Cloud Billing MCP server, answered.

Is there a Google Cloud Billing MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 31 Google Cloud Billing actions across billing accounts, billing accounts budgets, tasks push notification configs and organizations billing accounts, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Google Cloud Billing.

What do I need to connect Google Cloud Billing?

Your own Google Cloud Billing OAuth app, registered with Google Cloud Billing (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Google Cloud Billing 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_cloud_billing" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Google Cloud Billing?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 4 Google Cloud Billing actions are destructive, including billing accounts budgets: delete, billing accounts: set iam policy and tasks: cancel. 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 Cloud Billing API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Google Cloud Billing service file: 300 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (16 Google Cloud Billing actions can be), which never reaches Google Cloud Billing.

What does a Google Cloud Billing action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (8 Google Cloud Billing actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Google Cloud Billing 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 Cloud Billing API does it cover?

The Google Cloud Billing (billing accounts, project billing, SKU pricing catalog, budgets) API cloudbilling v1 (Discovery revision 20261016) + billingbudgets v1 (revision 20261018) at cloudbilling.googleapis.com. It is built from Google Cloud Billing's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 31 actions in 12 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Google Cloud Billing 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 Cloud Billing 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.
