Uber Direct MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Uber Direct and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 7 Uber Direct actions (4 reads, 2 writes and 1 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Uber Direct credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Uber Direct'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 Uber Direct 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 Uber Direct API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 6 of Uber Direct's 6 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Uber Direct
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
1 Uber Direct action is destructive. This is it:
- Cancel Delivery
uber_direct.deliveries.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.
Cancel Delivery?
intent: the user asked me to cancel Delivery
account { op: "keys.create", name: "uber-direct-agent", allowed_actions: ["uber_direct.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "uber_direct.deliveries.cancel", approver: "[email protected]" } ]}Cost
What Uber Direct costs on actionlake.
Every Uber Direct action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Uber Direct 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 Uber Direct MCP server, answered.
Is there an Uber Direct MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 7 Uber Direct actions across deliveries and quotes, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Uber Direct.
What do I need to connect Uber Direct?
Uber Direct client ID: direct.uber.com > Developer > API keys and Uber Direct client secret (direct.uber.com > Developer > API keys). Plus your customer id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "uber_direct" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Uber Direct?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 1 Uber Direct action is destructive, including cancel Delivery. 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 Uber Direct API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Uber Direct service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (3 Uber Direct actions can be), which never reaches Uber Direct.
What does an Uber Direct action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (1 Uber Direct actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Uber Direct 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 Uber Direct API does it cover?
The Uber Direct DaaS API v1 (OpenAPI 1.0.1 from the uber-direct SDK) at api.uber.com. It is built from Uber Direct's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 7 actions in 2 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Uber Direct data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 1 minute, 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 Uber Direct 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.
