Connect an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT) to Affilae

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your Affilae account and ask it questions in plain language, for example about your pending conversions or your best affiliates of the month. The assistant reads your Affilae data and, if you allow it, acts for you. You sign in with your Affilae account: no token to copy.

Before you start

• Your Affilae email address is confirmed.
• You have an advertiser or publisher account.
• The Affilae server address to add in the assistant is https://mcp.affilae.com/mcp. You can also find it in My account → API keys (advertiser account: My account → your name → API keys), section AI assistants (MCP).

Each person signs in with their own login: the assistant sees what your account lets you see, and its actions are made in your name.

Connect Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop)

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector.
2. Name: Affilae. Address: https://mcp.affilae.com/mcp. Click Continue.
3. Keep the suggested sign-in settings, including Use Claude’s published identity (Recommended), then click Add.
4. Sign in to Affilae in the window that opens, then confirm the authorization page (see below).
5. In a conversation, turn Affilae on from the + button → Connectors.

Claude Team or Enterprise: an owner of the organization adds the connector once for everyone, in Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web, with the same address. Each member then clicks Connect in Customize → Connectors and signs in with their own Affilae account.

Connect ChatGPT

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode (paid plans).
2. Click Create app. Name: Affilae. MCP server URL: https://mcp.affilae.com/mcp. Leave authentication set to OAuth.
3. Sign in to Affilae, then confirm the authorization page.

Connect Claude Code

In a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http affilae https://mcp.affilae.com/mcp

Then, in Claude Code, type /mcp, choose affilae and start the authentication: your browser opens on the Affilae sign-in.

The authorization page

After you sign in, Affilae shows the assistant requesting access and the account in use. Check that it is yours: if not, click Not you? Use another account. Then choose the access:

• Read only: the assistant can view your data (conversions, partnerships, payments…) but cannot change anything.
• Read & write (advertiser accounts, when the assistant asks for it): the assistant can also act on your account, for example accept or refuse conversions.

Click Allow. The page also shows when the connection ends: after that date, the assistant simply asks you to sign in again.

What the assistant can do

Advertiser: view your programs, conversions, clicks, partnerships and their statistics, commission adjustments, payments, ads, vouchers, cappings and product feeds. With Read & write access, it can also:

• add, accept, refuse or update conversions
• accept, cancel or block partnerships
• add, accept or refuse commission adjustments
• add, update or delete vouchers
• pause, re-enable or delete a program

Publisher: view your programs, conversions, clicks, partnerships and their statistics, commission adjustments, payment requests and payments, profiles, ads, vouchers and product feeds, and create your tracking links.

Either way, the assistant can also look up how to do something in the Affilae help center, for example set up Shopify tracking, and give you the article’s link.

Before any change, Affilae asks the assistant to have you confirm what it is about to change. For a batch, for example your orders of the month, it shows you the full plan and carries it out after a single confirmation. Always read its proposal: a refused conversion or a deleted voucher is not restored automatically.

Handling your conversions from your orders (delivered, cancelled, partly returned) is detailed in Handling product returns and cancellations.

Example questions

• List my conversions pending for more than 30 days on program X
• Compare the sales of my top 5 affiliates this month and last month
• Show me the pending conversions at €0, then refuse them once I confirm
• Here are my October orders: accept the delivered ones, refuse the cancelled ones and adjust the partial returns
• What commissions did I earn this month, per program? (publisher)
• Create a tracking link to this page for program X (publisher)
• How do I set up tracking on my Shopify store?

Your data and security

• No shared password: you sign in on Affilae, never in the assistant.
• Your own rights: the assistant only reaches what your account lets you see, within the access you chose.
• Where the data goes: Affilae’s answers are sent to the assistant and processed by its provider (Anthropic for Claude, OpenAI for ChatGPT), under their own terms.
• What Affilae records: the assistant’s calls (the tool used, the date, the account, the IP address), for security and support. Affilae does not receive your conversations with the assistant.
• Cutting access: in My account → API keys, every connected assistant is listed with its end date. Click Revoke: it loses access from its next call. You can also remove the connector in the assistant.

Another assistant (Cursor, VS Code, scripts…)

Signing in with your Affilae account is available for Claude and ChatGPT. For another MCP-compatible assistant, create an MCP token: My account → API keys → Create an MCP token, choose the access, then copy the token (it is shown only once). In the assistant, set the address https://mcp.affilae.com/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer <your token>. The token is revoked from the same page.
