Kombo MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Kombo and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 137 Kombo actions (76 reads, 56 writes and 5 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Kombo credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Kombo'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 Kombo 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 Kombo.
Bearer token. 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 Kombo API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 32 of Kombo's 32 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Kombo
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
5 Kombo actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete absence
kombo.hris_absences.delete - Delete integration
kombo.integrations.delete - Remove tag from candidate
kombo.ats_candidates.remove_tag - Delete eAU request
kombo.datev.delete_eau_request - Remove a job from sync
kombo.ats_avionte_synced_jobs.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.
Delete absence?

What Kombo costs on actionlake.
Every Kombo action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Kombo 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 Kombo MCP server, answered.
Is there a Kombo MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 137 Kombo actions across datev, ATS applications, hris employees and ATS candidates, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Kombo.
What do I need to connect Kombo?
Kombo API key. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "kombo" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Kombo?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 5 Kombo actions are destructive, including delete absence, delete integration and remove tag from candidate. 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 Kombo API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Kombo service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (71 Kombo actions can be), which never reaches Kombo.
What does a Kombo action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (137 Kombo actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Kombo 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 Kombo API does it cover?
The Kombo API v1 (OpenAPI 3.1, docs.kombo.dev/openapi.json) at api.kombo.dev/v1 by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Kombo's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 137 actions in 58 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Kombo 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 Kombo 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.
