About Affitor
Affitor is a stdio MCP server for Affitor affiliate tracking, letting agents and MCP clients report clicks, leads, sales, and refunds and check integration readiness. Money-moving tools are disabled by default and require an environment variable to enable.
Key features
- 01Report clicks, leads, and sales
- 02Record refunds with idempotency
- 03Check integration readiness
- 04Generate payment-tracking plans
- 05Run attribution verification
Use cases
- 01Report affiliate-link clicks and signups
- 02Attribute sales to customers or clicks
- 03Record refunds and adjust commissions
- 04Verify a payment-tracking integration
MCP support
The stdio MCP server exposes Affitor affiliate-tracking capabilities as tools for MCP clients. Sale and refund tools are marked destructive and are not registered by default.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project README@affitor/mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) stdio server for Affitor.
It exposes Affitor's affiliate-tracking capabilities as MCP tools so AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP client — can report clicks, leads, sales and refunds, and poll integration readiness, directly as tool calls.
Under the hood it wraps the consolidated server client @affitor/sdk/server (the Affitor class). Authentication is your program API key, supplied via the AFFITOR_API_KEY environment variable.
Add it to your MCP client
Add this to your client's MCP server config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor):
{
"mcpServers": {
"affitor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@affitor/mcp"],
"env": {
"AFFITOR_API_KEY": "your_program_key"
}
}
}
}
Restart your client and the affitor tools will be available to the agent.
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
AFFITOR_API_KEY | Yes | Your Affitor program API key (Bearer). Server-side only — never ship it to a browser. |
AFFITOR_API_URL | No | API base override. Defaults to https://api.affitor.com. |
AFFITOR_MCP_WRITE | No | Set to 1 to register the two tools that move money: affitor_track_sale and affitor_track_refund. Off by default, so an agent exploring tools cannot create a real sale or reverse a commission. |
If AFFITOR_API_KEY is not set, the server prints a clear message to stderr and exits.
Tools
Every tool carries MCP annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint), so a client can ask before a write. affitor_track_sale and affitor_track_refund are marked destructive and only exist with AFFITOR_MCP_WRITE=1.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
affitor_readiness | Check this program's integration/onboarding readiness — returns a 5-gate verdict + blocker + next_action. Poll until integration_verified is true. |
affitor_track_lead | Report a lead/signup. Binds the customer to the click so later sales attribute by customerExternalId alone. |
affitor_track_sale | Needs AFFITOR_MCP_WRITE=1. Report a sale: creates a real sale and commission unless testMode is true. Resolves attribution by customerExternalId (bound at lead time). |
affitor_track_refund | Needs AFFITOR_MCP_WRITE=1. Report a refund (omit amount = full → commission reversed; partial → refunded). Idempotent by invoiceId. testMode is a dry run. |
affitor_track_click | Report a click (usually browser-side; public, no customer needed). |
affitor_get_integration_plan | Return the deterministic payment-tracking integration plan for a stack — install, checkout-metadata snippet, trackSale snippet + where to inject it, and the verify step. Pure — reads the canonical @affitor/recipes registry; no SDK client, no network, no side-effects. The agent follows this instead of guessing a contract. |
affitor_run_verification | Fire the synthetic click → lead → sale verification chain through Affitor's REAL attribution pipeline (isolated is_test rows). The agent's proof step: run it, then poll affitor_readiness until integration_verified is true. Rate-limited to 10/program/hour — on a rate_limited result, wait retry_after_seconds, don't hammer. |
Inputs
affitor_readiness
forceRecheck?: boolean— force a fresh server-side recheck instead of the cached verdict.
affitor_track_lead (one of customerExternalId / clickId is required)
customerExternalId?: string— your own user id; binds this customer to the click.clickId?: string— Affitor click id (from theaffitor_click_idcookie).email?: stringtestMode?: boolean— record a test lead (is_test).
affitor_track_sale (one of customerExternalId / clickId is required)
customerExternalId?: string— your own user id; resolves attribution (noclickIdneeded once bound at lead time).clickId?: stringamount: number— sale amount in integer cents (e.g.4999= $49.99).invoiceId: string— idempotency key (your invoice / transaction id).currency?: string— ISO currency code (defaultUSD).saleType?: "payment" | "subscription"isRecurring?: booleansubscriptionId?: stringsubscriptionInterval?: "monthly" | "quarterly" | "annual"testMode?: boolean— record a test sale (is_test, no commission), sent as transactiontest_<invoiceId>so it never blocks the real sale with the same invoice.
affitor_track_refund
invoiceId: string— the sale's idempotency key (theinvoiceIdyou passed toaffitor_track_sale).refundAmountCents?: number— integer cents. Omit (or0) = full refund → commission reversed; partial → refunded.refundReason?: stringtestMode?: boolean— dry run: returns the refund that would be sent and calls nothing (the API has no test refunds).
affitor_track_click (all optional)
affiliateUrl?: stringpageUrl?: stringreferrerUrl?: stringexistingClickId?: string
affitor_get_integration_plan
framework: "next-app" | "next-pages" | "fastify" | "express" | "node" | "unknown"— the detected app framework; determines wheretrackSaleis injected.provider?: "stripe" | "polar" | "lemonsqueezy" | "paddle" | "unknown"— the detected payment provider (defaultstripe).mode?: "stripe_connect" | "s2s"— payment-tracking mode (defaultstripe_connect).stripe_connect= Connect autocaptures the sale (metadata only, notrackSale);s2s= injecttrackSalein your webhook. Returns{ steps, recipe }.
affitor_run_verification (no input)
- Fires the synthetic verification chain and returns the parsed result. On a rate limit it returns
{ http_status: 429, retry_after_seconds, … }rather than throwing — back off and retry.
Each tool returns the Affitor API's JSON payload as text content. On a failed request (a thrown error or an { ok: false } envelope) the tool returns an MCP error result with the message.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
