Sprout Social MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Sprout Social and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 17 Sprout Social actions (16 reads and 1 write) and holds the Sprout Social credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Sprout Social's limits and records every call.

    Connect Sprout Social.

    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.

The Sprout Social API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 8 of Sprout Social's 10 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Sprout Social

Every write can wait for a yes.

None of Sprout Social's actions is destructive. A key can still be held to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

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.

a key for this connector
account {  op: "keys.create", name: "sprout-social-agent",  allowed_actions: ["sprout_social.*"], cap_calls: 2000,  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes"}
Illustrative. Scoped to Sprout Social only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed.

Questions

The Sprout Social MCP server, answered.

Is there a Sprout Social MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 17 Sprout Social actions across publishing posts, cases, clients and groups, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Sprout Social.

What do I need to connect Sprout Social?

Sprout Social API token. Plus your customer id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "sprout_social" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent change things in Sprout Social?

Only if its key allows it. 1 Sprout Social action write, and none is destructive. A key can be limited to reads, capped, and set so a person confirms every write.

Will an AI agent use up my Sprout Social API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Sprout Social service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (15 Sprout Social actions can be), which never reaches Sprout Social.

What does a Sprout Social action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (17 Sprout Social actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Sprout Social 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 Sprout Social API does it cover?

The Sprout Social Public API v1 at api.sproutsocial.com. It is built from Sprout Social's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 17 actions in 16 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Sprout Social 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 Sprout Social 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.
