Hostaway MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Hostaway and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 130 Hostaway actions (75 reads, 41 writes and 14 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Hostaway credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Hostaway's limits and records every call.
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 Hostaway in three steps.
- 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.

Top actions
The Hostaway API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 24 of Hostaway's 24 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Destructive actions wait for a yes.
14 Hostaway actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a task
hostaway.tasks.delete - Delete an expense or extra
hostaway.expenses.delete - Delete a unified webhook
hostaway.unified_webhooks.delete - Delete a reservation webhook
hostaway.reservation_webhooks.delete - Delete a conversation message webhook

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.

Questions
The Hostaway MCP server, answered.
Is there a Hostaway MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 130 Hostaway actions across cancellation policies, reservations, listings and conversation message webhooks, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Hostaway.
What do I need to connect Hostaway?
Your Hostaway account ID (Hostaway dashboard > Settings > Hostaway API, shown as Account ID) and API key (client secret) created in Hostaway dashboard > Settings > Hostaway API > Create. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "hostaway" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Hostaway?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 14 Hostaway actions are destructive, including delete a task, delete an expense or extra and delete a unified webhook. 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 Hostaway API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Hostaway service file: 200 calls per 10 seconds per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (71 Hostaway actions can be), which never reaches Hostaway.
What does a Hostaway action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (130 Hostaway actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Hostaway 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 Hostaway API does it cover?
The Hostaway Public API v1 at api.hostaway.com/v1. It is built from Hostaway's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 130 actions in 55 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Hostaway data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, 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 Hostaway 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.
