How does this MCP help with loyalty programs?

It calculates the financial value of your points and helps you decide when to redeem them for the best possible return.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Does it tell me how much I need to spend to get a reward?

Yes, it can calculate the exact amount of additional spending required to reach a specific reward tier based on your earning rate.

What is redemption efficiency?

It is the ratio of the reward's cash value to the number of points required, helping you see which option is the best deal.

Do I need to provide my account login details?

No, you simply provide your point totals and earning rates to your agent to perform the calculations.

How does the engine determine if I should wait?

The engine compares the extra cash value gained from a higher tier against the required_additional_spend calculated by calculate_upgrade_implication. If the gain exceeds the cost, it recommends waiting.

What inputs are needed for a strategy analysis?

You need your current points_balance, the indices of your current and target options, the full list of redemption_options as a JSON array, and your points_earned_per_dollar_spent rate.

Can I use this for multiple different loyalty programs?

Yes. Simply provide the specific redemption options and earning rates for any program you are analyzing.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

03

One connector, every AI

Loyalty Points Engine works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Loyalty Points Engine to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
