Vonage Communications APIs MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Vonage Communications APIs and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 98 Vonage Communications APIs actions (31 reads, 50 writes and 17 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Vonage Communications APIs credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Vonage Communications APIs'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 Vonage Communications APIs 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.

The Vonage Communications APIs API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 15 of Vonage Communications APIs's 15 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Questions
The Vonage Communications APIs MCP server, answered.
Is there a Vonage Communications APIs MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 98 Vonage Communications APIs actions across calls, conversations, external accounts and video archives, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Vonage Communications APIs.
What do I need to connect Vonage Communications APIs?
Vonage application private key (the private.key file downloaded when the application was created or its keys…. Plus your application id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "vonage_communications" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Vonage Communications APIs?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 17 Vonage Communications APIs actions are destructive, including delete a user, delete a conversation and delete an event. 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 Vonage Communications APIs API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Vonage Communications APIs service file: 30 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (31 Vonage Communications APIs actions can be), which never reaches Vonage Communications APIs.
What does a Vonage Communications APIs action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (98 Vonage Communications APIs actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Vonage Communications APIs 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 Vonage Communications APIs API does it cover?
The Vonage developer portal OpenAPI documents: Messages API, Verify API v2, Voice API, Conversation API, Application API v2 (Users), Video API, Media API, External Accounts API at api.nexmo.com. It is built from Vonage Communications APIs's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 98 actions in 21 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Vonage Communications APIs 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 Vonage Communications APIs 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.
