Can I manage my affiliate program from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Add LinkJolt as a connector in claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or ChatGPT and run your program by asking: check performance, review commissions, look up affiliates, and register coupon codes in plain language.

Yes. LinkJolt ships a hosted connector that plugs your affiliate program into Claude and ChatGPT, so you can run it by asking instead of opening the dashboard.

How to connect

The two apps take different routes, so follow the one for your assistant.

In Claude

  1. In claude.ai or Claude Desktop, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
  2. Fill in two fields only. Name: LinkJolt. Remote MCP server URL: https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcp. Leave the OAuth Client ID and Client Secret fields empty under Advanced settings; LinkJolt registers your client automatically.
  3. Your browser opens a LinkJolt page. Sign in with your merchant account and click Approve. That is the whole setup: nothing to install and no API key to copy.

In ChatGPT

  1. Turn on Developer mode under Settings, then Security and login. This is what lets you add your own MCP servers, so nothing works without it. It is available on ChatGPT's Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans, on the web only, and on ChatGPT Business and Enterprise an admin may need to allow it first.
  2. Go to the Plugins page at chatgpt.com/plugins and press the plus button. Give it a name (LinkJolt) and a short description, then paste https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcp under Connection. There are no client ID or secret fields to fill in.
  3. Approve access on the LinkJolt page that opens, signing in with your merchant account first if you are not already. ChatGPT finds the sign-in automatically, so there is no API key to copy here either.

What you can ask

Once connected, the assistant can answer questions like "how did my program do this month", "which affiliate drove the most revenue", or "show me pending commissions", and it can take three deliberate actions: record a conversion, approve or reject a pending commission, and register a coupon code for an affiliate.

What it can never do

Approving payouts is never available through the connector. Moving money stays a dashboard action.

Plan access

Connector access follows your plan the same way API keys do: reads on Professional and above, the three write actions on Ultimate and Scale.

Developer tools like Claude Code and Cursor can use the same endpoint with an API key header instead. Full setup guides for every client are at linkjolt.io/developers/mcp.
