Perplexity

Run hands-free affiliate audits inside Windsurf

The `list_joined_programmes` tool lets Cascade audit your active advertiser networks directly in the editor. Cascade can look at your current code, see which merchants you link to, and check if you are already approved to promote them. If Cascade spots a gap, it calls `list_available_programmes` to find alternatives. This MCP Server lets your IDE handle the tedious research while you focus on content.

Build and inject tracking links on the fly

Using `generate_tracking_link`, Cascade scans your markdown files for raw URLs and converts them to affiliate links. The agent doesn't stop there; it writes the code, updates your files, and verifies the connections. You don't have to copy-paste between the browser and your workspace anymore. This MCP integration makes link building a background task that happens while you write.

Pull live performance metrics directly to Cascade

The `get_aggregated_report` tool pulls affiliate performance data straight into your workspace. Cascade can read your daily earnings, compare them against your local content files, and tell you which articles are actually converting. Running `list_transactions` allows the agent to check individual sales from the past month. You get raw data processed immediately without opening the network dashboard.
