Refersion MCP connector

The Refersion connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI clients look up affiliates, conversions, offers, clicks, and orders in your Refersion account, and update them, with each person signed in as themselves and every action logged.

  • How it connects. App credentials. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Refersion to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Refersion once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Refersion.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste your Refersion app credentials. Refersion authenticates the app rather than a person. One person supplies the credentials once, and everyone else works through Share with.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with Refersion through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Partnerships

    Catch an affiliate up after a call

    Ask for an affiliate's recent activity, clicks, and conversions before the call, then have their record and custom fields updated afterward so what was agreed is written down in Refersion.

  • Finance

    Review conversions before the payout run

    Pull the month's conversions, check counts against what the affiliate program budgeted, and update the ones that need a status change in one pass instead of clicking through them individually.

  • Support

    Credit an order a link missed

    When an affiliate says a customer bought but the sale was not tracked, find the order, credit it to the right affiliate, or create a manual credit, and confirm back to them in minutes.

  • Marketing

    Duplicate an offer for the next campaign

    Copy an existing offer, change the commission terms and dates for the new promotion, and see which promotion methods affiliates are actually using before you brief them.

  • Ecommerce operations

    Find the order behind a disputed commission

    Search orders by the details an affiliate gives you, open the matching conversion, and settle whether the commission was recorded correctly without leaving your chat window.

  • Affiliate marketing

    Onboard new affiliates without the admin slog

    Get the referral link for a new affiliate, resend the welcome email to anyone who has not activated, and see at a glance how many affiliates and Amazon products are in the program.

Try asking

  • “Which affiliates drove the most conversions last month?”
  • “Show me pending custom fields for our top affiliates.”
  • “List conversions flagged for review this week.”

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Refersion to Claude?

First connect Refersion in Elaichi, which asks for the app credentials shown in your Refersion account; there is no OAuth app to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Claude can start working with your Refersion affiliates, conversions, and offers.

Does Refersion work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Refersion is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Refersion once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Refersion data?

With Refersion connected, an agent can list and update affiliates, pull an affiliate's activity and referral link, resend a welcome email, review and update conversions, credit an order or create a manual credit, search orders, list clicks and promotion methods, and duplicate or edit offers. Refersion has a lot of actions available, so short, concrete asks such as "show conversions for affiliate Dana this month" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Refersion give the AI access to my whole affiliate program?

Only what the person who connected Refersion can already see and do. Elaichi runs every request inside that person's own Refersion access, and an administrator can narrow it further with restrictions, for example read-only on conversions. Elaichi never widens access beyond what Refersion itself allows.

Can my team share one Refersion connection?

Yes. One person connects Refersion in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Refersion app credentials. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person who credited a conversion or changed an offer.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Refersion?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Refersion affiliates and conversions while blocking deleting affiliates, deleting offers, or bulk updates. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.

What happens to a Refersion connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Refersion through every AI client at once, with no Refersion credentials to rotate. A shared Refersion connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want Refersion gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.

Does the Refersion MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Refersion is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Refersion?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Refersion. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Refersion call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Refersion?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Refersion: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
