Tally MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Tally and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 38 Tally actions (19 reads, 12 writes and 7 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Tally credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Tally'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 Tally 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 Tally.

    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.

    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "tally" }
    # 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.

Capabilities

What an AI agent can do in Tally.

Top actions

The Tally API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 23 of Tally's 23 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 Tally actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

  1. Readread

    Who has access in Tally? List every user and their role.

    callstally.organization_users.list

  2. Writewrite

    Create a new folder in Tally. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

    callstally.folders.create

Governance for Tally

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

7 Tally actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Delete a foldertally.folders.delete
  • Delete a formtally.forms.delete
  • Delete a workspacetally.workspaces.delete
  • Delete a form submissiontally.submissions.delete
  • Delete a webhooktally.webhooks.delete
  • Remove user from organizationtally.organization_users.remove
  • Cancel an organization invitetally.organization_invites.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.

dotally.folders.deleteconfirm_policy: human

Delete a folder?

Questions

The Tally MCP server, answered.

Is there a Tally MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 38 Tally actions across analytics, forms, workspaces and folders, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Tally.

What do I need to connect Tally?

Tally API key. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "tally" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Tally?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 7 Tally actions are destructive, including delete a folder, delete a form and delete a workspace. 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 Tally API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Tally service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (19 Tally actions can be), which never reaches Tally.

What does a Tally action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (38 Tally actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Tally 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 Tally API does it cover?

The Tally API (OpenAPI 1.0.0) at api.tally.so. It is built from Tally's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 38 actions in 12 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Tally 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 Tally 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.
