Audit Your Affiliate Revenue

Stop working with stale data. This Effiliation MCP server lets you ask Claude for a live revenue summary with `quick_affiliate_revenue_audit`. You get current commissions and success rates, not numbers from last week's export. You can immediately cross-reference those numbers against the actual money you've been paid using `list_account_payments`. If something looks off, dig into the raw data with `list_affiliate_transactions` to find the source of the discrepancy. It's all done in your chat window.

Manage Campaigns from Your Chat

Forget logging into a separate dashboard to manage programs. Use `search_affiliate_programs` to find new partners directly from your Claude prompt. It's faster and keeps you focused. Once you find a program you're interested in, ask Claude to pull its commission structure using `get_program_details`. You can also get a clean list of everything you're currently running with `list_active_campaigns` to see what's live and what's not.

Track Conversions as They Happen

Get immediate visibility into your sales funnel. The `list_latest_conversions` tool shows you the most recent affiliate conversions as they're tracked. You don't have to wait for a daily report to see if a new campaign is working. This gives you a real-time feed of activity. Ask Claude something like, "Show me the last 5 conversions," and you get an instant answer. It's the fastest way to check the pulse of your affiliate marketing efforts.
