Runway API MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Runway API and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 65 Runway API actions (22 reads, 36 writes and 7 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Runway API credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Runway API's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Runway API 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.

02
Connect Runway API.
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.

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 Runway API API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 7 of Runway API's 7 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Runway API

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

7 Runway API actions are destructive. These are all of them:

Delete documentrunway.documents.delete
Cancel or delete a taskrunway.tasks.delete
Delete a voicerunway.voices.delete
Delete avatarrunway.avatars.delete
Delete Model Routerrunway.routers.delete
Delete conversationrunway.avatar_conversations.delete
Cancel realtime sessionrunway.realtime_sessions.cancel

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.

dorunway.documents.deleteconfirm_policy: human

Delete document?

intent: the user asked me to delete document

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key runway-agent cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

Illustrative. Scoped to Runway API only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

Questions

The Runway API MCP server, answered.

Is there a Runway API MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 65 Runway API actions across recipes, voices, avatars and documents, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Runway API.

What do I need to connect Runway API?

Runway API secret key: in the Runway developer portal (https://dev.runwayml.com) open your organization > API Keys >…. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "runway" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Runway API?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 7 Runway API actions are destructive, including delete document, cancel or delete a task and delete a voice. 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 Runway API API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Runway API service file: 300 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (18 Runway API actions can be), which never reaches Runway API.

What does a Runway API action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (65 Runway API actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Runway API 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 Runway API API does it cover?

The RunwayML API 2024-11-06 at api.dev.runwayml.com. It is built from Runway API's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 65 actions in 32 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Runway API 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 Runway API 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.
