Automate affiliate revenue audits in Windsurf
Stop digging through dashboards. Cascade triggers `quick_affiliate_revenue_audit` to pull commission summaries directly into your active project context. Windsurf reads these results to identify underperforming campaigns. It then chains `list_active_campaigns` to suggest immediate budget shifts based on real-time data.
Monitor conversion data with your MCP Server
Your agent tracks every sale by calling `list_latest_conversions`. It cross-references these with `list_affiliate_transactions` to flag discrepancies in your ledger. This MCP Server provides the raw numbers your agent needs to build custom reporting logic. You get accurate performance insights without leaving your IDE.
Programmatic affiliate program management
Cascade uses `search_affiliate_programs` to find relevant partners for your specific niche. It pulls detailed commission structures using `get_program_details` to vet opportunities. Once a program is identified, your agent pulls account metadata via `get_effiliation_metadata`. It handles the grunt work of gathering partner info before you even start coding.
