--- title: "Vonage Communications APIs MCP server - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 98 Vonage Communications APIs actions through one MCP server: calls. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/vonage-communications-apis updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Email & messaging # 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. [Connect Vonage Communications APIs 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: "vonage_communications.users.list", intent: "check which Vonage Communications APIs account is connected" } # List users · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 98 actions in one signed file - 31 read look, never change - 50 write create and update - 17 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Vonage Communications APIs 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 Vonage Communications APIs. Signed token (JWT). You paste the signing key once; actionlake signs a short-lived token for each call. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `private_key` Vonage application private key (the private.key file downloaded when the application was created or its keys… - `application_id` Your Vonage Communications APIs application id ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "vonage_communications" } # 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: "vonage_communications.users.list" } # list users · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "vonage_communications.users.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Vonage Communications APIs at a glance **Sign-in** Signed token (JWT).

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. ## More connectors like Vonage Communications APIs Shares the most action names with - [Retell AI 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/retell-ai) - [Bandwidth 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/bandwidth) - [Synthflow 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/synthflow) - [8x8 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/8x8) - [Avaya Experience Platform 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/avaya-experience-platform) - [CallTrackingMetrics 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/calltrackingmetrics) Joins with, on shared entities - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-dynamics-365) - [3CX 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/3cx) - [Lark Suite 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lark-suite) - [Close 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/close) - [Pipedrive 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/pipedrive) - [Outreach 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/outreach) Browse - [All Email & messaging connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/email-and-messaging) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
