Claude

Perplexity

Audit campaigns and contracts instantly

You use the `list_campaigns` tool to pull active marketing initiatives directly into your workspace. Claude then inspects the returned terms using `list_contracts` to verify that your payout rates match your verbal agreements. This setup cuts out the manual dashboard surfing completely. Your agent reads the raw JSON payloads, spots discrepancies in your partner payouts, and points out exactly which agreements need your attention today.

Track transactions and payouts inside the desktop app

The `list_transactions` tool fetches every conversion and click recorded on your partner network. When financial discrepancies pop up, Claude Desktop runs `list_payouts` to confirm which media partners received their funds. You do not need to export massive CSVs or write custom Python scripts to reconcile your books. This integration parses the transaction data, matches it with `list_invoices`, and flags any double-billing issues before they hit your bank account.

Monitor partner activity using this MCP Server

Running the `list_media_partners` tool gives your AI client immediate access to your entire affiliate roster. If you need to check which partners run active promotions, the `list_ads` tool pulls the current creative assets assigned to them. This MCP Server handles the connection so you do not have to write API boilerplate. Your agent scans `list_queued_notifications` to catch delayed conversion alerts, ensuring no partner misses credit for a sale.
