Manatal MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Manatal and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 159 Manatal actions (87 reads, 50 writes and 22 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Manatal credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Manatal's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Manatal 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 Manatal.

    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_tokenManatal Open API token: requested from Manatal support ([email protected]) by an account admin; admins can then…
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "manatal" }
# 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: "manatal.contacts.list" }# list contacts · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "manatal.contacts.create", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Top actions

The Manatal API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 55 of Manatal's 55 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

  1. Readread

    Find the Manatal contacts with no email address, so we can clean them up.

    callsmanatal.contacts.list

  2. Writewrite

    Create a contact in Manatal. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

    callsmanatal.contacts.create

  3. Across systemsread

    Which Manatal companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each?

    callsmanatal.organizations.listconnectwise_manage.invoices.list

Across your systems

Manatal, joined to the rest of your business.

One ask fetches from Manatal and another system, joins the rows on the same customer on our side, and hands your agent the answer, not every row.

  • Which Manatal companies have invoices in ConnectWise PSA, and how many each?

    manatal.organizations.list + connectwise_manage.invoices.list, on crm.company · ConnectWise PSA

  • Which Manatal companies have invoices in NetSuite, and how many each?

Governance for Manatal

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.

Questions

The Manatal MCP server, answered.

Is there a Manatal MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 159 Manatal actions across candidate skills, webhooks, candidate attachments and candidate educations, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Manatal.

What do I need to connect Manatal?

Manatal Open API token: requested from Manatal support ([email protected]) by an account admin; admins can then…. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "manatal" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Manatal?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 22 Manatal actions are destructive, including delete a contact, delete an organization and delete a 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 Manatal API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Manatal service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (87 Manatal actions can be), which never reaches Manatal.

What does a Manatal action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (159 Manatal actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Manatal 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 Manatal API does it cover?

The Manatal Open API v3 (OpenAPI 3.0, per-operation definitions from developers.manatal.com), Manahook v1, Career Page API v1 at api.manatal.com/open/v3. It is built from Manatal's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 159 actions in 49 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Can I combine Manatal with my other systems?

Yes. ask joins Manatal to ConnectWise PSA or NetSuite on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Manatal maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map.

Does actionlake keep my Manatal 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 Manatal 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.
