Open Dental MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Open Dental and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 393 Open Dental actions (182 reads, 171 writes and 40 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Open Dental credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Open Dental's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Open Dental 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 Open Dental.

    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.

# 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.

Top actions

The Open Dental API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 20 of Open Dental's 20 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Open Dental, joined to the rest of your business.

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

Governance for Open Dental

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

40 Open Dental actions are destructive. The first 10:

  • Employers DELETEopen_dental.employers.delete
  • Fees DELETEopen_dental.fees.delete
  • Claims DELETEopen_dental.claims.delete
  • InsSubs DELETEopen_dental.inssubs.delete
  • ProcTPs DELETEopen_dental.proctps.delete
  • Benefits DELETEopen_dental.benefits.delete
  • CovSpans DELETEopen_dental.covspans.delete
  • Deposits DELETEopen_dental.deposits.delete
  • Diseases DELETEopen_dental.diseases.delete
  • LabCases DELETEopen_dental.labcases.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 Open Dental MCP server, answered.

What do I need to connect Open Dental?

Open Dental Developer API key (from the Open Dental Developer Portal) and Customer API key for this dental office, generated in the Developer Portal and enabled by the office in Setup >…. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "open_dental" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Open Dental?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 40 Open Dental actions are destructive, including employers DELETE, fees DELETE and claims DELETE. 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 Open Dental API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Open Dental service file: 60 calls a minute per connection.

What does an Open Dental action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (393 Open Dental actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Open Dental 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 Open Dental API does it cover?

Can I combine Open Dental with my other systems?

Does actionlake keep my Open Dental data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Open Dental responses are not cached. 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 Open Dental 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.
