Zoho Projects MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Zoho Projects and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 545 Zoho Projects actions (239 reads, 216 writes and 90 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Zoho Projects credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Zoho Projects's limits and records every call. Connecting Zoho Projects needs your own Zoho Projects 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 Projects 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.

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

Top actions
The Zoho Projects API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 54 of Zoho Projects's 54 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Zoho Projects
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
90 Zoho Projects actions are destructive. The first 10:
- Delete Task
zoho_projects.tasks.delete_task - Delete Project
zoho_projects.projects.delete_project - Delete User
zoho_projects.users.delete_user - Delete Time Log (v3.1)
zoho_projects.time_log_operations.delete_time_log - Delete Comment
zoho_projects.task_comments.delete_comment - Trash a Phase
zoho_projects.phases.trash_a_phase - Delete Dependency
zoho_projects.task_dependency.delete_dependency - Delete Task List
zoho_projects.task_lists.delete_task_list - Delete Project User
zoho_projects.project_users.delete_project_user - Delete Timer
zoho_projects.timers.delete_timer
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.

What Zoho Projects costs on actionlake.
Every Zoho Projects action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Zoho Projects 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 Zoho Projects MCP server, answered.
Is there a Zoho Projects MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 545 Zoho Projects actions across tasks, users, issues and modules, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Zoho Projects.
What do I need to connect Zoho Projects?
Your own Zoho Projects OAuth app, registered with Zoho Projects (its client id and client secret), and the access and refresh tokens from one admin sign-in. actionlake has no Zoho Projects app of its own, so this is not a one-step consent. actionlake renews the access token as it expires. Plus your host and your portal id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "zoho_projects" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in Zoho Projects?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 90 Zoho Projects actions are destructive, including delete Task, delete Project and delete User. 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 Projects API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Zoho Projects service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (239 Zoho Projects actions can be), which never reaches Zoho Projects.
What does a Zoho Projects action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (545 Zoho Projects actions page).

Which Zoho Projects API does it cover?
The Zoho Projects REST API v3 (with v3.1 endpoints) at your Zoho Projects instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Zoho Projects's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 545 actions in 109 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my Zoho Projects 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 Zoho Projects 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.
