--- title: "HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP server - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 1,670 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions through one MCP server: configuration. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/hpe-aruba-networking-central updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · MSP & PSA # HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to HPE Aruba Networking Central and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 1,670 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions (686 reads, 717 writes and 267 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the HPE Aruba Networking Central credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces HPE Aruba Networking Central's limits and records every call. [Connect HPE Aruba Networking Central 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: "hpe_aruba_central.devices.list", intent: "check which HPE Aruba Networking Central account is connected" } # Get a list of devices · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 1,670 actions in one signed file - 686 read look, never change - 717 write create and update - 267 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect HPE Aruba Networking Central 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central. OAuth 2.0, client credentials. Paste the app's client id and secret; actionlake fetches and renews the token, and nobody has to sign in. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `client_id` HPE GreenLake personal API client ID - `client_secret` Client secret of that personal API client (shown once at creation) - `host` Where your HPE Aruba Networking Central lives: your host ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "hpe_aruba_central" } # 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: "hpe_aruba_central.devices.list" } # get a list of devices · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "hpe_aruba_central.devices.delete_unified_device", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` HPE Aruba Networking Central at a glance **Sign-in** OAuth 2.0, client credentials.

Questions ## The HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP server, answered. **Is there an HPE Aruba Networking Central MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 1,670 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions across configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting and services, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by HPE Aruba Networking Central. **What do I need to connect HPE Aruba Networking Central?** HPE GreenLake personal API client ID and Client secret of that personal API client (shown once at creation). Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "hpe_aruba_central" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in HPE Aruba Networking Central?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 267 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions are destructive, including delete a device by serial number, reboot an Access Point and reboot a CX Switch. 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the HPE Aruba Networking Central service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (686 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions can be), which never reaches HPE Aruba Networking Central. **What does an HPE Aruba Networking Central action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (1,670 HPE Aruba Networking Central actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls HPE Aruba Networking Central 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central API does it cover?** The New Central REST API (network-monitoring/services/troubleshooting/notifications/reporting/msp v1; network-config v1 and v1alpha1), docs branch 26.04 at your HPE Aruba Networking Central instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from HPE Aruba Networking Central's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 1,670 actions in 7 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my HPE Aruba Networking Central 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central 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 HPE Aruba Networking Central Shares the most action names with - [Admin By Request 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/admin-by-request) - [Datto BCDR 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/datto-bcdr) - [Auvik 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/auvik) - [Datto RMM 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/datto-rmm) - [Google Workspace Alert Center 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/google-workspace-alert-center) - [Ubiquiti UniFi Site Manager API 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/ubiquiti-unifi-site-manager-api) Joins with, on shared entities - [CrowdStrike Falcon 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/crowdstrike-falcon) - [Dynatrace 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/dynatrace) - [Rapid7 InsightIDR 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/rapid7-insightidr) - [Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/palo-alto-networks-cortex-xdr) - [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint) - [Microsoft 365 Users 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-365-users) Browse - [All MSP & PSA connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/msp-and-psa) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
