# IBM NS1 Connect MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to IBM NS1 Connect and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 186 IBM NS1 Connect actions (104 reads, 59 writes and 23 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the IBM NS1 Connect credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces IBM NS1 Connect's limits and records every call.

[Connect IBM NS1 Connect 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: "ns1_connect.users.list",
  intent: "check which IBM NS1 Connect account is connected"
}
# List account users · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 186 actions in one signed file
- 104 read look, never change
- 59 write create and update
- 23 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect IBM NS1 Connect 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 IBM NS1 Connect.
   API key. 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.
   - `api_key` NS1 Connect API key
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "ns1_connect" }
   # 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: "ns1_connect.users.list" }
   # list account users · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "ns1_connect.users.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The IBM NS1 Connect API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 46 of IBM NS1 Connect's 48 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the IBM NS1 Connect actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Which IBM NS1 Connect alerts are open right now? Group them by service.
   calls `ns1_connect.alerts.list`
2. Write write
   Create new user in IBM NS1 Connect. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `ns1_connect.users.create`

Governance for IBM NS1 Connect

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

23 IBM NS1 Connect actions are destructive. These are all of them:

- Remove user `ns1_connect.users.delete`
- Delete a team `ns1_connect.teams.delete`
- Delete a monitoring job `ns1_connect.monitoring_jobs.delete`
- Delete an API key `ns1_connect.api_keys.delete`
- Delete an alert `ns1_connect.alerts.delete`
- Delete a notifier list `ns1_connect.notifier_lists.delete`
- Delete a record `ns1_connect.records.delete`
- Delete a zone `ns1_connect.zones.delete`
- Revoke an SSL/TLS certificate `ns1_connect.redirect_certificates.revoke`
- Delete a data set `ns1_connect.datasets.delete`
- Delete a Pulsar application `ns1_connect.rum_apps.delete`
- Delete a URL redirect `ns1_connect.redirects.delete`
- Delete a data feed `ns1_connect.data_feeds.delete`
- Delete a route map `ns1_connect.route_maps.delete`
- Delete data source `ns1_connect.data_sources.delete`
- Delete a Pulsar job `ns1_connect.rum_app_jobs.delete`
- Delete zone version `ns1_connect.zone_versions.delete`
- Delete data sink `ns1_connect.insights_sinks.delete`
- Reset two-factor authentication (2FA) `ns1_connect.two_factor.reset_user`
- Delete API key secret `ns1_connect.api_key_secrets.delete`
- Delete team IP allow list `ns1_connect.team_ip_allow_list.delete`
- Delete IP allow list `ns1_connect.account_ip_allow_list.delete`
- Delete an external DNSSEC key set `ns1_connect.zone_dnssec_external_keys.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 ns1_connect.users.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Remove user?

**intent:** the user asked me to remove user

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _ns1-connect-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "ns1-connect-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["ns1_connect.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "ns1_connect.users.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "ns1_connect.teams.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "ns1_connect.monitoring_jobs.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to IBM NS1 Connect only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## What IBM NS1 Connect costs on actionlake.

Every IBM NS1 Connect action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call IBM NS1 Connect 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 186 IBM NS1 Connect actions
- 186 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 100 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 IBM NS1 Connect MCP server, answered.

**Is there an IBM NS1 Connect MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 186 IBM NS1 Connect actions across rum decisions, alerts, billing usage and rum app jobs, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by IBM NS1 Connect.

**What do I need to connect IBM NS1 Connect?**

NS1 Connect API key. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "ns1_connect" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in IBM NS1 Connect?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 23 IBM NS1 Connect actions are destructive, including remove user, delete a team and delete a monitoring job. 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 IBM NS1 Connect API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the IBM NS1 Connect service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (100 IBM NS1 Connect actions can be), which never reaches IBM NS1 Connect.

**What does an IBM NS1 Connect action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (186 IBM NS1 Connect actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls IBM NS1 Connect 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 IBM NS1 Connect API does it cover?**

The IBM NS1 Connect API 1.1.15 (OpenAPI 3.0.3) at api.nsone.net. It is built from IBM NS1 Connect's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 186 actions in 53 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my IBM NS1 Connect 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 IBM NS1 Connect 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.
