# runZero MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to runZero and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 136 runZero actions (64 reads, 40 writes and 32 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the runZero credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces runZero's limits and records every call.

[Connect runZero free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

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.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "runzero.account_users.list",
  intent: "check which runZero account is connected"
}
# Get all users · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 136 actions in one signed file
- 64 read look, never change
- 40 write create and update
- 32 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect runZero 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.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect runZero.
   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.
   - `access_token` runZero API key, sent as `Authorization
   - `host` Where your runZero lives: your host
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "runzero" }
   # 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.
   ```
   do    { action: "runzero.account_users.list" }
   # get all users · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "runzero.org_sites.scan", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The runZero API, shaped for agents.

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

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `runzero.account_users.list` Get all users | Get all users. | read | `identity.user.list` 474 connectors |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the runZero actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Who has access in runZero? List every user and their role.
   calls `runzero.export_users.list`
2. Write write
   Create a scan task for a given site in runZero. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `runzero.org_sites.scan`

Governance for runZero

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

32 runZero actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Remove the current API key `runzero.org_key.delete`
- Rotate the API key secret and return the updated key `runzero.org_key.rotate`
- Remove a site and associated assets `runzero.org_sites.delete`
- Remove and uninstall an agent. Legacy path for /org/explorers/{explorer_id} `runzero.org_agents.delete`
- Remove an asset `runzero.org_assets.delete`
- Remove this key `runzero.account_keys.delete`
- Rotates the key secret `runzero.account_keys.rotate`
- Remove this organization `runzero.account_orgs.delete`
- Remove a service `runzero.org_services.delete`
- Remove a wireless LAN `runzero.org_wireless.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.

do runzero.org_key.delete confirm_policy: **human**

Remove the current API key?

**intent:** the user asked me to remove the current API key

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _runzero-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "runzero-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["runzero.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "runzero.org_key.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "runzero.org_key.rotate", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "runzero.org_sites.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

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

Cost

## What runZero costs on actionlake.

Every runZero action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call runZero 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.

- 1 upstream call per action all 136 runZero actions
- 136 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 54 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

Questions

## The runZero MCP server, answered.

**Is there a runZero MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 136 runZero actions across account, organization, export and public, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by runZero.

**What do I need to connect runZero?**

RunZero API key, sent as `Authorization. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "runzero" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in runZero?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 32 runZero actions are destructive, including remove the current API key, rotate the API key secret and return the updated key and remove a site and associated assets. 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 runZero API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the runZero service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (54 runZero actions can be), which never reaches runZero.

**What does a runZero action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (136 runZero actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls runZero 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 runZero API does it cover?**

The runZero API v1.0 (1.0.5, OpenAPI 3.0.0) at console.runzero.com/api/v1.0 by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from runZero's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 136 actions in 6 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my runZero 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 runZero 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.
