Panther MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Panther and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 98 Panther actions (36 reads, 42 writes and 20 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Panther credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Panther's limits and records every call.

Set up
Connect Panther 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.

Top actions
The Panther API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 28 of Panther's 28 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Panther
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
20 Panther actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a user
panther.users.delete - Delete a role
panther.roles.delete - Delete api token
panther.api_tokens.delete - Delete policy
panther.policies.delete - Delete rule
panther.rules.delete - Delete global
panther.globals.delete - Delete query
panther.queries.delete - Rotate an api token
panther.api_tokens.rotate - Delete s3 source
panther.s3_sources.delete - Delete data model
panther.data_models.delete - Delete gcs source
panther.gcs_sources.delete - Delete http source
panther.http_sources.delete - Delete simple rule
panther.simple_rules.delete - Delete pub/sub source
panther.pubsub_sources.delete - Delete scheduled rule
panther.scheduled_rules.delete - Delete correlation rule
panther.correlation_rules.delete - Delete log source alarm
panther.log_source_alarms.delete - Delete a custom context tag
panther.alert_context_tags.delete - Delete aws cloud account
panther.aws_cloud_accounts.delete - Delete log forwarder source
panther.log_forwarder_sources.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 a user?

What Panther costs on actionlake.
Every Panther action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Panther 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 Panther MCP server, answered.
Is there a Panther MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 98 Panther actions across API tokens, correlation rules, data models and globals, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Panther.
What do I need to connect Panther?
Panther API token: in the Panther Console open Settings > API Tokens > Create New Token and grant the permissions…. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "panther" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Panther?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 20 Panther actions are destructive, including delete a user, delete a role and delete api token. 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 Panther API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Panther service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (33 Panther actions can be), which never reaches Panther.
What does a Panther action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (98 Panther actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Panther 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 Panther API does it cover?
The Panther REST API 1.0 + GraphQL at your Panther instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Panther's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 98 actions in 23 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Panther data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 1 minute, 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 Panther 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.
