MCP overview
PartnerBoost exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants can work with your account — transactions, performance, billing, partners, and more — using structured tools instead of manual API calls. Read tools answer questions; write tools (granted per key) carry out actions such as updating products, commission rules, and newsletters.
MCP is brand-only. Publishers should integrate via the Partner API.
Changelog
September 10, 2026 — MCP can now write, not just read. The server adds 13 write tools covering partners, catalog and commission, outreach, and orders, on top of the existing read list. Each AI Access Key now carries its own scopes — only the capabilities you grant appear in that key's tools/list. Writes support dry_run previews and require an idempotency_key, and every write call is logged. The URL and AI Access Key stay the same; reconnect to pick up the new tools.

August 18, 2026 — MCP tools were updated. The URL and AI Access Key stay the same; reconnect to pick up the new list (pb_ prefix), issued per brand account. You can now query coupons, commission rules, newsletters, partner performance, campaign detail, products, invitations, and inbox messages. Walmart / Amazon brands also get one platform tool.

Any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP can connect with the URL and Bearer token above. We document these setups:
Also works with Claude, Cursor, Trae, and other MCP-compatible apps. In those products, add a custom MCP server using the same URL and Authorization: Bearer key — follow that app's own MCP settings (do not change the PartnerBoost URL).
