# Guru MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Guru and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 300 Guru actions (142 reads, 112 writes and 46 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Guru credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Guru's limits and records every call.

[Connect Guru 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: "guru.members.list",
  intent: "check which Guru account is connected"
}
# List team members · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 300 actions in one signed file
- 142 read look, never change
- 112 write create and update
- 46 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Guru 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 Guru.
   Username and secret. 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.
   - `username` Guru username: the email address of the user who owns a user token (read/write), or the collection id for a…
   - `api_token` Guru API token
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "guru" }
   # 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: "guru.members.list" }
   # list team members · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "guru.groups.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Guru API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 28 of Guru's 28 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `guru.members.list` List team members | List team members. | read | `identity.user.list` 474 connectors |
| `guru.groups.list` List user groups | List user groups. | read | `identity.group.list` 262 connectors |
| `guru.groups.create` Add a user group | Add a user group. | write | `identity.group.create` 205 connectors |
| `guru.groups.delete` Delete a user group | Delete a user group. | destructive | `identity.group.delete` 181 connectors |
| `guru.whoami.get` Get user information | Get user information. | read | `identity.current_user.get` 307 connectors |
| `guru.impersonation_tokens.create` Create an impersonation token | Create an impersonation token. | write | `identity.api_key.create` 100 connectors |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

1. Read read
   Find the Guru articles about password resets and summarise what they say.
   calls `guru.search.cards`
2. Write write
   Add a user group in Guru. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `guru.groups.create`

Governance for Guru

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

46 Guru actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Delete a user group `guru.groups.delete`
- Delete an impersonation token `guru.impersonation_tokens.delete`
- Delete a card `guru.cards.delete`
- Delete a webhook `guru.webhooks.delete`
- Delete folder `guru.folders.delete`
- Delete a source and everything in it `guru.sources.delete`
- Archive an answer `guru.answers.archive`
- Delete an automation plan `guru.chat_plans.delete`
- Delete a collection `guru.collections.delete`
- Permanently delete a chat thread `guru.chat_threads.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 guru.groups.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Delete a user group?

**intent:** the user asked me to delete a user group

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _guru-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "guru-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["guru.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "guru.groups.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "guru.impersonation_tokens.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "guru.cards.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Guru only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## What Guru costs on actionlake.

Every Guru action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Guru 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 300 Guru actions
- 300 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 136 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

Questions

## The Guru MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Guru MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 300 Guru actions across knowledge agents, cards, knowledge agent skills and announcements, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Guru.

**What do I need to connect Guru?**

Guru username: the email address of the user who owns a user token (read/write), or the collection id for a… and Guru API token. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "guru" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Guru?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 46 Guru actions are destructive, including delete a user group, delete an impersonation token and delete a card. 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 Guru API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Guru service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (136 Guru actions can be), which never reaches Guru.

**What does a Guru action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (300 Guru actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Guru 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 Guru API does it cover?**

The Guru API v1 (OpenAPI 3.0.1) at api.getguru.com. It is built from Guru's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 300 actions in 58 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Guru 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 Guru 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.
