Zoho Inventory MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Zoho Inventory and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 559 Zoho Inventory actions (155 reads, 307 writes and 97 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Zoho Inventory credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Zoho Inventory's limits and records every call. Connecting Zoho Inventory needs your own Zoho Inventory OAuth app and one admin sign-in.

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.

02
Connect Zoho Inventory.

You register your own OAuth app with Zoho Inventory, an admin signs in once, and you paste the app's client id and secret and the tokens from that sign-in; actionlake renews the access token from then on. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
Before the first sign-in, Zoho Inventory needs an OAuth app of your own, registered in its developer portal. actionlake has no Zoho Inventory app to lend you.

Questions

The Zoho Inventory MCP server, answered.

Is there a Zoho Inventory MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 559 Zoho Inventory actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Zoho Inventory.

What do I need to connect Zoho Inventory?

Your own Zoho Inventory OAuth app, registered with Zoho Inventory (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Zoho Inventory app of its own, so this is not a one-step consent. actionlake renews the access token as it expires. Plus your api domain and your organization id. actionlake finds api base for you when you connect. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "zoho_inventory" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Zoho Inventory?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 97 Zoho Inventory actions are destructive, including delete an item, delete a Sales Order and delete a location. 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 Zoho Inventory API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Zoho Inventory service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (155 Zoho Inventory actions can be), which never reaches Zoho Inventory.

What does a Zoho Inventory action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (559 Zoho Inventory actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Zoho Inventory 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 Zoho Inventory API does it cover?

The Zoho Inventory API 1 at your Zoho Inventory instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting (path /inventory/v1). It is built from Zoho Inventory's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 559 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Can I combine Zoho Inventory with my other systems?

Yes. ask joins Zoho Inventory to ConnectWise PSA or HubSpot CRM on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Zoho Inventory maps crm.company, which 227 other connectors also map.

Does actionlake keep my Zoho Inventory 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 Zoho Inventory 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.
