Otter.ai MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Otter.ai and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 8 Otter.ai actions (7 reads and 1 write) and holds the Otter.ai credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Otter.ai's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Otter.ai 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.

  2. 02

    Connect Otter.ai.

    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.

    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "otter_ai" }
# 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 Otter.ai API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 3 of Otter.ai's 3 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 Otter.ai actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

  1. Readread

    List channels in Otter.ai and tell me what stands out.

    callsotter_ai.channels.list

  2. Writewrite

    Create conversation from a file in Otter.ai. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

    callsotter_ai.conversations.create

Governance for Otter.ai

Every write can wait for a yes.

None of Otter.ai's actions is destructive. A key can still be held to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

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.

a key for this connector
account {  op: "keys.create", name: "otter-ai-agent",  allowed_actions: ["otter_ai.*"], cap_calls: 2000,  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes"}
Illustrative. Scoped to Otter.ai only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed.

Cost

What Otter.ai costs on actionlake.

Every Otter.ai action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Otter.ai 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 Otter.ai MCP server, answered.

Is there an Otter.ai MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 8 Otter.ai actions across conversations, channel members, channels and conversation audio, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Otter.ai.

What do I need to connect Otter.ai?

Otter.ai API key: otter.ai > Integrations > Developer > Create key (Enterprise workspaces only; shown once). The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "otter_ai" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent change things in Otter.ai?

Only if its key allows it. 1 Otter.ai action write, and none is destructive. A key can be limited to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

Will an AI agent use up my Otter.ai API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Otter.ai service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (7 Otter.ai actions can be), which never reaches Otter.ai.

What does an Otter.ai action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (8 Otter.ai actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Otter.ai 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 Otter.ai API does it cover?

The Otter.ai Public API v1 (beta, Enterprise workspaces) at api.otter.ai. It is built from Otter.ai's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 8 actions in 6 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Otter.ai 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 Otter.ai 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.
