PhantomBuster MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to PhantomBuster and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 66 PhantomBuster actions (31 reads, 28 writes and 7 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the PhantomBuster credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces PhantomBuster's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect PhantomBuster 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 PhantomBuster API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 5 of PhantomBuster's 6 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for PhantomBuster
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
7 PhantomBuster actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a list - Beta
phantombuster.lists.delete - Deletes an agent by id
phantombuster.agents.delete - Delete many leads
phantombuster.leads.delete_many - Stops an agent
phantombuster.agents.stop - Deletes a script by id
phantombuster.scripts.delete - Deletes a branch by id
phantombuster.branches.delete - Delete one or more leads objects
phantombuster.lead_objects.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 PhantomBuster MCP server, answered.
Is there a PhantomBuster MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 66 PhantomBuster actions across agents, orgs, scripts and branches, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by PhantomBuster.
What do I need to connect PhantomBuster?
PhantomBuster API key: in PhantomBuster open Workspace settings > API keys and create a key. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "phantombuster" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in PhantomBuster?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 7 PhantomBuster actions are destructive, including delete a list - Beta, deletes an agent by id and delete many leads. 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 PhantomBuster API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the PhantomBuster service file: 5 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (26 PhantomBuster actions can be), which never reaches PhantomBuster.
What does a PhantomBuster action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (66 PhantomBuster actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls PhantomBuster 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 PhantomBuster API does it cover?
The PhantomBuster API v2 (OpenAPI 3, swagger-api-v2.json) at api.phantombuster.com/api/v2. It is built from PhantomBuster's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 66 actions in 18 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my PhantomBuster 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 PhantomBuster 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.
