MCP FAQ

What is MCP?​

Model Context Protocol is an open standard for AI clients to call external tools securely. PartnerBoost hosts an MCP server at https://app.partnerboost.com/agent/mcp.

Where do I get credentials?​

Tools → AI Tools in your PartnerBoost dashboard. Use the value as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AI_ACCESS_KEY.

Brand vs publisher access​

MCP tools return data scoped to your logged-in account role. Brand users see brand-side metrics; publishers see publisher-side data where enabled.

Is MCP the same as the Brand API?​

No. MCP is optimized for AI assistants with pre-built tools. The Brand API and Partner API are for custom integrations with full control.

Rate limits​

MCP requests share fair-use limits with your account tier. If you hit throttling, reduce query frequency or use batch API endpoints.

Data retention in ChatGPT​

Review your AI client's data policies. PartnerBoost transmits only what each tool returns for your authorized account.

Key rotation​

Regenerate your AI Access Key in Tools → AI Tools and update all MCP clients. Old keys stop working immediately.
