Rev.ai MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Rev.ai and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 32 Rev.ai actions (20 reads, 6 writes and 6 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Rev.ai credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Rev.ai'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 Rev.ai 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.

Connect Rev.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.

Top actions
The Rev.ai API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 1 of Rev.ai's 1 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Rev.ai
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
6 Rev.ai actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a transcription job
rev_ai.jobs.delete - Delete a custom vocabulary
rev_ai.vocabularies.delete - Delete a forced alignment job
rev_ai.alignment_jobs.delete - Delete a topic extraction job
rev_ai.topic_extraction_jobs.delete - Delete a sentiment analysis job
rev_ai.sentiment_analysis_jobs.delete - Delete a language identification job
rev_ai.language_identification_jobs.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 Rev.ai MCP server, answered.
Is there a Rev.ai MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 32 Rev.ai actions across alignment jobs, jobs, language identification jobs and sentiment analysis jobs, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Rev.ai.
What do I need to connect Rev.ai?
Rev AI access token. Plus your region. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "rev_ai" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Rev.ai?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 6 Rev.ai actions are destructive, including delete a transcription job, delete a custom vocabulary and delete a forced alignment job. 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 Rev.ai API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Rev.ai service file: 50 calls per 10 seconds per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (20 Rev.ai actions can be), which never reaches Rev.ai.
What does a Rev.ai action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (32 Rev.ai actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Rev.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 Rev.ai API does it cover?
The Rev AI (speech-to-text, custom vocabulary, alignment, language ID, sentiment and topic extraction) API Rev AI Asynchronous Speech-to-Text v1, Custom Vocabulary v1, Forced Alignment v1, Language Identification v1, Sentiment Analysis v1, Topic Extraction v1 (OpenAPI 3.0) at your region's rev.ai address, set when you connect. It is built from Rev.ai's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 32 actions in 14 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Rev.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 Rev.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.
