MCP SERVER

Use LinkJolt with Any MCP-compatible Client

LinkJolt works with any Model Context Protocol client, two ways: the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint (OAuth sign-in for connector apps, or an API key header), or the npm package over stdio. This covers Zed, Continue, Sourcegraph Cody, custom agents, or your own integration.

Setup
1
Hosted endpoint (no install)

Point your client at the URL below (Streamable HTTP). OAuth-capable clients discover the LinkJolt sign-in flow automatically from a 401 challenge; clients that support custom headers can send an API key instead.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkjolt": {
      "url": "https://www.linkjolt.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer lj_pk_your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}
2
Or install the local MCP server (stdio)

Install the npm package globally, or use npx to run it on demand.

# Global install
npm install -g @linkjolt/mcp-server

# Or run via npx (no install)
npx -y @linkjolt/mcp-server
3
Get your API key

Generate a key at linkjolt.io/merchant/api-keys. Pro plan = read-only access, Ultimate = full read + write.

4
Configure your MCP client

Most MCP clients accept a JSON config. Use stdio transport with the config below. Adjust paths/env keys to match your client's format.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkjolt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@linkjolt/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LINKJOLT_API_KEY": "lj_pk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
5
Verify connection

Your client should list the LinkJolt tools once connected: reads across campaigns, affiliates, conversions, coupons, payouts, teams and stats (list_campaigns, get_stats, and friends) plus three writes (create_conversion, update_conversion, create_coupon). The full table lives on the MCP overview page.

Example Queries

Once connected, ask your client natural language questions about your affiliate program:

“list_campaigns: returns all your active campaigns”
“get_stats { from: "2026-01-01" }: aggregate revenue + commissions”
“list_conversions { status: "pending" }: conversions awaiting approval”
“create_conversion { campaignId, affiliateId, amount }: manual conversion”
