--- title: "Iterable MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 149 Iterable actions through one MCP server: users, campaigns, experiments. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/iterable updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Email & messaging # 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. [Connect Iterable 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: "iterable.channels.list", intent: "check which Iterable account is connected" } # Get channels · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 149 actions in one signed file - 46 read look, never change - 75 write create and update - 28 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Iterable 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 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. - `api_key` Iterable API key (project-scoped) - `region` Your Iterable region ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "iterable" } # 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: "iterable.channels.list" } # get channels · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "iterable.lists.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Iterable at a glance **Sign-in** API key.

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. do iterable.lists.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete a list? **intent:** the user asked me to delete a list run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _iterable-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "iterable-agent", allowed_actions: ["iterable.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "iterable.lists.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "iterable.lists.unsubscribe", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "iterable.users.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

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. ## More connectors like Iterable Shares the most action names with - [Bird 17](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bird) - [Sinch Mailjet 16](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sinch-mailjet) - [Elastic Email 15](https://actionlake.com/connectors/elastic-email) - [Dotdigital 14](https://actionlake.com/connectors/dotdigital) - [Mailtrap 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mailtrap) - [Loops 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/loops) Joins with, on shared entities - [Docebo 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/docebo) - [ActiveCampaign 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/activecampaign) - [Sling 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sling) - [Brevo 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/brevo) - [Zoom 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/zoom) - [Twilio Segment 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/twilio-segment) Browse - [All Email & messaging connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/email-and-messaging) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
