Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/talentlms updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Work & projects # TalentLMS MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to TalentLMS and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 62 TalentLMS actions (32 reads, 21 writes and 9 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the TalentLMS credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces TalentLMS's limits and records every call. [Connect TalentLMS 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: "talentlms.users.list", intent: "check which TalentLMS account is connected" } # List users · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 62 actions in one signed file - 32 read look, never change - 21 write create and update - 9 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect TalentLMS 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 TalentLMS. Username and secret. 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. - `api_key` TalentLMS API key: as the super-administrator, Account & Settings > Basic settings > enable API and copy the key - `host` Where your TalentLMS lives: your host ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "talentlms" } # 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: "talentlms.users.list" } # list users · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "talentlms.users.signup", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` TalentLMS at a glance **Sign-in** Username and secret.

Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "talentlms" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in TalentLMS?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 9 TalentLMS actions are destructive, including delete a user, delete a group and delete a course. 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 TalentLMS API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the TalentLMS service file: 200 calls per 5 seconds and 2,000 an hour per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (32 TalentLMS actions can be), which never reaches TalentLMS. **What does a TalentLMS action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (62 TalentLMS actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls TalentLMS 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 TalentLMS API does it cover?** The TalentLMS REST API v1 at your TalentLMS instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from TalentLMS's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 62 actions in 8 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my TalentLMS data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, 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 TalentLMS 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. ## More connectors like TalentLMS Shares the most action names with - [Degreed 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/degreed) - [Bonusly 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bonusly) - [Productboard 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/productboard) - [15Five 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/15five) - [Absorb LMS 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/absorb-lms) - [Lucid 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lucid) Joins with, on shared entities - [D2L Brightspace 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/d2l-brightspace) - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-dynamics-365) - [Anthology Blackboard Learn 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/anthology-blackboard-learn) - [Kintone 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/kintone) - [HaloPSA 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [Slack 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/slack) Browse - [All Work & projects connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/work-and-projects) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
