N-able N-central MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to N-able N-central and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 66 N-able N-central actions (52 reads, 13 writes and 1 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the N-able N-central credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces N-able N-central's limits and records every call.

Governance for N-able N-central

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

1 N-able N-central action is destructive. This is it:

  • PREVIEW : Deletes device patch maintenance windows by given list of Schedule Ids.n_able_n_central.maintenance_windows.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.

Questions

The N-able N-central MCP server, answered.

Is there a N-able N-central MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 66 N-able N-central actions across customers, scheduled tasks, sites and access groups, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by N-able N-central.

What do I need to connect N-able N-central?

N-central User-API Token (JWT). Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "n_able_n_central" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in N-able N-central?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 1 N-able N-central action is destructive, including PREVIEW : Deletes device patch maintenance windows by given list of Schedule Ids.. 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 N-able N-central API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the N-able N-central service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (49 N-able N-central actions can be), which never reaches N-able N-central.

What does a N-able N-central action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (66 N-able N-central actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls N-able N-central 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 N-able N-central API does it cover?

The N-central REST API (1.0) at your N-able N-central instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from N-able N-central's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 66 actions in 39 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Can I combine N-able N-central with my other systems?

Yes. ask joins N-able N-central to NetSuite or HubSpot CRM on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. N-able N-central maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map.

Does actionlake keep my N-able N-central 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 N-able N-central 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.
