actionlayer 0.7.0

MCP server for ActionLayer — give Claude Code and other MCP hosts access to ActionLayer's browser-action catalog with per-session credential intake.

actionlayer

MCP server for ActionLayer — let Claude Code (and any MCP host) drive browser-based sites on your behalf.

Previously published as actionlayer-mcp. That project is no longer maintained and stopped at 0.6.0 — install actionlayer instead.

Install

Get an API key from your ActionLayer dashboard at https://actionlayer.io, then:

claude mcp add --scope user actionlayer "uvx" "actionlayer" \
  --env ACTIONLAYER_API_KEY="ak_…" \
  --env ACTIONLAYER_API_URL="https://api.actionlayer.io"

Restart Claude Code and ask it to do something for you.

Usage from other MCP hosts

actionlayer

Works with Cursor, Cody, Codex, etc.

Env vars:

• ACTIONLAYER_API_KEY — required
• ACTIONLAYER_API_URL — defaults to https://api.actionlayer.io

Changelog

0.7.0

Renamed: published as actionlayer on PyPI from this release on (actionlayer-mcp is orphaned and frozen at 0.6.0). No code changes. The command is now actionlayer; actionlayer-mcp remains as an alias. Includes everything from the unreleased 0.6.1.

0.6.1

No code changes. Embeds the MCP Registry mcp-name ownership token so the package can be listed at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io.

0.4.2

Internal taxonomy scrub. No behavior change; tool descriptions and next_action.prompt fallbacks rephrased so calling agents don't surface ActionLayer's internal terminology in their own user-facing text.

0.4.1

Payment-card approval flow (Phase 2 of the agent payments plan).

• actionlayer_reply now accepts payment_approved: bool for tickets whose info_request includes payment_status. Users approve a charge against their card-on-file with one call.
• actionlayer_get_task / actionlayer_next_action surface card_brand, card_last4, amount_usd, and payment_status on the info_request payload so an agent can prompt the user with "Approve $X.XX charge on your card ending ?"
• The card PAN itself NEVER crosses the MCP boundary. The charge is completed against the user's card on file; the PAN never appears on agent-visible surfaces. This is by design per docs/agent_payments_plan.md.

0.4.0

Backwards-incompatible — public API taxonomy changed.

• Ticket state collapses the in-flight phases into a single public value pending. Polling code that branched on the individual sub-phases (e.g. if state == "executing") must switch to state == "pending". Terminal states (completed, failed, cancelled) and blocked_on_user are unchanged.
• live_view_url is no longer returned by the public tools (actionlayer_invoke_action, actionlayer_get_action_ticket). User-facing callers should drive the task via polling actionlayer_get_action_ticket and responding to blocked_on_user prompts.
• actionlayer_invoke_action sync response now uses outcome="queued" (instead of outcome="blocked") when the task is taking longer than the sync window allows. Callers handling outcome need to add a queued branch: poll actionlayer_get_action_ticket for terminal state.
• Terminal tickets now carry a free-text reason field summarising the outcome (derived from result.summary on completed, error on failed). Pre-existing result / error fields preserved for callers that want the raw structured payload.

0.3.1

• Update default API URL to https://api.actionlayer.io (api.action-layer.dev still redirects, but the new host is the current canonical name).

0.3.0

• Browser-only catalog. Per-session credential intake.

0.2.0

• Async-by-default dispatch for browser actions + ticket polling tool.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
