Twilio SendGrid MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Twilio SendGrid and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 391 Twilio SendGrid actions (193 reads, 131 writes and 67 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Twilio SendGrid credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Twilio SendGrid'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 Twilio SendGrid in three steps.
- 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.

Top actions
The Twilio SendGrid API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 158 of Twilio SendGrid's 162 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

The plan store
Ready-made plans for Twilio SendGrid.
9 plans in the store. Install one and your agent runs it by name; the reply says which connections are still missing. A schedule can run a plan on a timetable. There are no triggers or webhooks, by design.
Validate a sample of contacts before a campaign goes out
Use it when A marketing list is about to be mailed and you want to check address quality before spending reputation on it.
Pull a weekly deliverability picture across stats and suppressions
Use it when Someone wants a read-only weekly summary of SendGrid sending health before a reputation or deliverability discussion.
Trace one message that a customer says never arrived
Use it when A customer reports an email never arrived and you need the delivery story for that one message.
Add a new version to a transactional template and activate it after sign-off
Use it when Marketing or engineering has new copy for a transactional email and the change must be reviewed before it goes live.
A person decides
Activate template version version name on template id so live transactional mail uses it.
Authenticate a new sending domain and validate it once DNS is published
Use it when A new domain needs SendGrid authentication and someone else has to publish the DNS before sending can start.
Create an event webhook, test it, and confirm it is recorded
Use it when A new endpoint needs to receive SendGrid delivery events and you want it created and proven in one pass.
Review a departing teammate's access, then remove it with approval
Use it when Someone has left the team and their SendGrid access needs reviewing and revoking with a record of what they had.
A person decides
Revoke SendGrid access for username and cancel their pending invitation.
Empty and delete a sending IP pool after approval
Use it when A sending IP pool is no longer used and should be emptied and removed with sign-off on which IPs it held.
A person decides
Empty and permanently delete IP pool poolid and the IPs it holds.
Check every suppression list for one address, then clear it after approval
Use it when A recipient reports they stopped receiving email and you need to find and clear the suppression holding them back.
A person decides
Clear every suppression holding email so mail resumes to that address.

Destructive actions wait for a yes.
67 Twilio SendGrid actions are destructive. The first 10:
- Delete teammate
sendgrid.teammates_by_username_delete - Delete a subuser
sendgrid.subusers_by_subuser_name_delete - Delete Multiple lists
sendgrid.contactdb_lists_delete - Delete a list
sendgrid.marketing_lists_by_id_delete - Delete a Suppression Group
sendgrid.asm_groups_by_group_id_delete - Delete a List
sendgrid.contactdb_lists_by_list_id_delete - Delete Contacts
sendgrid.marketing_contacts_delete - Delete Recipients
sendgrid.contactdb_recipients_delete - Remove Contacts from a List
sendgrid.marketing_lists_by_id_contacts_delete - Delete a Recipient
sendgrid.contactdb_recipients_by_recipient_id_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.

Questions
The Twilio SendGrid MCP server, answered.
Is there a Twilio SendGrid MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 391 Twilio SendGrid actions across messaging, infrastructure, contacts and general, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Twilio SendGrid.
What do I need to connect Twilio SendGrid?
Twilio SendGrid API key. Plus your api base. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "sendgrid" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Twilio SendGrid?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 67 Twilio SendGrid actions are destructive, including delete teammate, delete a subuser and delete Multiple lists. 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 Twilio SendGrid API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Twilio SendGrid service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (190 Twilio SendGrid actions can be), which never reaches Twilio SendGrid.
What does a Twilio SendGrid action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (52 Twilio SendGrid actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Twilio SendGrid 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 Twilio SendGrid API does it cover?
The Twilio SendGrid API v3 at api.sendgrid.com by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Twilio SendGrid's documentation as read on 19 September 2026. 391 actions in 8 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Twilio SendGrid 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 Twilio SendGrid 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.
