Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

categories

list_categories

Use to browse category names and active program counts before filtering a search. Returns all registry categories, including categories with zero active listings. Do not use for program details or commission comparisons; call search_programs with a returned category, then get_program for individual terms.

program

get_program

Use with a known slug or alias to read full program details, status, agentPrompt recommendation guidance, restrictions, signup information, and a citable markdownUrl. Also returns paused entries and dated answers with alternatives for discontinued or no_program brands. Do not use for broad discovery; call search_programs first if the slug is unknown. Read status and agentPrompt before recommending; if no entry exists, use search_programs to find a match.

programs

search_programs

Use to discover active affiliate programs by keyword, category, commission type, or verified status. Returns matching summaries with canonical slugs, commission figures, signup links, and citable markdownUrl fields. Do not use to check a known brand's paused or no-program status; call get_program with its slug. Call list_categories for category names, then get_program for recommendation guidance and restrictions before recommending a match.

submission

get_submission_status

Use with an id from submit_program to read where a submitted program is: queued, verifying, listed (with listingUrl and, once scored, reportUrl) or rejected (with reason). Do not use to look up listed programs; call get_program for those.

submit

submit_program

Use when get_program and search_programs do not find a brand's affiliate program: queues the brand's own program page for a maintainer to verify against the brand's published terms. Not instant: nothing is listed and no score exists until the terms are verified. A domain already listed returns its listingUrl instead; a domain already queued returns the existing submission. Send the brand's own program or partners page, never a network or review site. Never invent terms. Then call get_submission_status with the returned id.

Openaffiliate MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Openaffiliate MCP do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_program, get_submission_status, list_categories, search_programs, submit_program. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Openaffiliate MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 309 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Openaffiliate MCP as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Openaffiliate MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Openaffiliate MCP need an API key?

No. Openaffiliate MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Openaffiliate MCP?

It answers our handshake in 309 ms on average, which is faster than 46% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Openaffiliate MCP?

The npm package openaffiliate-mcp was installed 41 times in the last week. Week over week that is -2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Openaffiliate MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 119 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at openaffiliate.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
