Zoho Invoice MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Zoho Invoice and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 260 Zoho Invoice actions (84 reads, 132 writes and 44 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Zoho Invoice credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Zoho Invoice's limits and records every call. Connecting Zoho Invoice needs your own Zoho Invoice OAuth app and one admin sign-in.

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 Zoho Invoice 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 Zoho Invoice.

    OAuth 2.0, authorization code with PKCE. You register your own OAuth app with Zoho Invoice, 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 Invoice needs an OAuth app of your own, registered in its developer portal. actionlake has no Zoho Invoice app to lend you.

Questions

The Zoho Invoice MCP server, answered.

Is there a Zoho Invoice MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 260 Zoho Invoice actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Zoho Invoice.

What do I need to connect Zoho Invoice?

Your own Zoho Invoice OAuth app, registered with Zoho Invoice (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Zoho Invoice 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_invoice" } lists exactly what to paste.

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

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 44 Zoho Invoice actions are destructive, including delete an invoice, delete a retainer invoice and delete a payment. 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 Invoice API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Zoho Invoice service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (84 Zoho Invoice actions can be), which never reaches Zoho Invoice.

What does a Zoho Invoice action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (260 Zoho Invoice actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Zoho Invoice 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 Invoice API does it cover?

The Zoho Invoice API 3 at www.zohoapis.com/invoice/v3 by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from Zoho Invoice's documentation as read on 20 September 2026. 260 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Can I combine Zoho Invoice with my other systems?

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

Does actionlake keep my Zoho Invoice 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 Invoice 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.
