Iterable MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Iterable and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 149 Iterable actions (46 reads, 75 writes and 28 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Iterable credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Iterable'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 Iterable 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.

Connect Iterable.
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.

Top actions
The Iterable API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 32 of Iterable's 34 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Iterable
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
28 Iterable actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a list
iterable.lists.delete - Remove users from a list
iterable.lists.unsubscribe - Delete a user by email
iterable.users.delete - Cancel a scheduled or recurring campaign
iterable.campaigns.cancel - Delete an experiment
iterable.experiments.delete - Cancel export
iterable.export_jobs.cancel - Forget a user in compliance with GDPR
iterable.users.forget - Delete a catalog
iterable.catalogs.delete - Delete a single metadata key/value
iterable.metadata.delete - Delete a snippet
iterable.snippets.delete - Invalidate all JWTs issued for a user
iterable.auth.invalidate_jwts - Delete a catalog item
iterable.catalog_items.delete - Disable pushes to a mobile device
iterable.users.disable_device - Bulk delete templates
iterable.templates.bulk_delete - Delete a table
iterable.metadata_tables.delete - Delete user by userId
iterable.users.delete_by_user_id - Bulk delete catalog items
iterable.catalog_items.bulk_delete - Unsubscribe a single user
iterable.subscriptions.unsubscribe_user - Unsubscribe a single user by userId
iterable.subscriptions.unsubscribe_user_by_user_id - Cancel a scheduled RCS message
iterable.rcs.cancel - Cancel an SMS to a user
iterable.sms.cancel - Cancel a push notification to a user
iterable.push.cancel - Cancel an email to a user
iterable.email.cancel - Cancel a scheduled in-app message
iterable.in_app.cancel - Abort a campaign
iterable.campaigns.abort - Cancel a web push notification to a user
iterable.web_push.cancel - Cancel a scheduled WhatsApp message
iterable.whatsapp.cancel - Cancel an experiment
iterable.experiments.cancel
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.

What Iterable costs on actionlake.
Every Iterable action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Iterable 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 Iterable MCP server, answered.
Is there an Iterable MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 149 Iterable actions across users, campaigns, experiments and events, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Iterable.
What do I need to connect Iterable?
Iterable API key (project-scoped). Plus your region. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "iterable" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Iterable?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 28 Iterable actions are destructive, including delete a list, remove users from a list and delete a user by email. 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 Iterable API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Iterable service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (46 Iterable actions can be), which never reaches Iterable.
What does an Iterable action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (149 Iterable actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Iterable 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 Iterable API does it cover?
The Iterable API (Swagger 2.0, 1.8) at your region's iterable.com address, set when you connect. It is built from Iterable's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 149 actions in 34 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Iterable 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 Iterable 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.

Start free - 100,000 calls/month, no card. No signup. Hard caps on every key. Cached answers are free.
