SmartSuite MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to SmartSuite and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 40 SmartSuite actions (16 reads, 20 writes and 4 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the SmartSuite credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces SmartSuite'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 SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite.

    Header credentials. 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.

    • workspace_idSmartSuite Workspace Id: the 8 characters after https://app.smartsuite.com/ in the app URL
    • api_keySmartSuite API key (profile menu > API key)
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "smartsuite" }
    # 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: "smartsuite.tables.list" }# list tables (apps) in the workspace · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "smartsuite.teams.create", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Top actions

The SmartSuite API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 19 of SmartSuite's 20 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

Prompts to paste into Claude.

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

  1. Readread

  2. Writewrite

    Create a team in SmartSuite. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

Governance for SmartSuite

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

4 SmartSuite actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Delete a record (moves it to the Solution's trash)smartsuite.records.delete
  • Delete a field from a Tablesmartsuite.fields.delete
  • Delete a webhook and its stored eventssmartsuite.webhooks.delete
  • Delete up to 25 recordssmartsuite.records.bulk_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.

dosmartsuite.records.deleteconfirm_policy: human

Delete a record (moves it to the Solution's trash)?

Cost

What SmartSuite costs on actionlake.

Every SmartSuite action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite MCP server, answered.

Is there a SmartSuite MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 40 SmartSuite actions across records, webhooks, solutions and fields, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by SmartSuite.

What do I need to connect SmartSuite?

SmartSuite Workspace Id: the 8 characters after https://app.smartsuite.com/ in the app URL and SmartSuite API key (profile menu > API key). The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "smartsuite" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in SmartSuite?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 4 SmartSuite actions are destructive, including delete a record (moves it to the Solution's trash), delete a field from a Table and delete a webhook and its stored events. 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 SmartSuite API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the SmartSuite service file: 5 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (8 SmartSuite actions can be), which never reaches SmartSuite.

What does a SmartSuite action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (40 SmartSuite actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite API does it cover?

The SmartSuite REST API v1 at app.smartsuite.com/api/v1. It is built from SmartSuite's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 40 actions in 10 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite 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.
