Connect an AI agent
Ask your agent which programs pay recurring commission, or what a vendor's cookie window is, and it answers from this directory — with the vendor's own page and the date the figure was read.
The MCP server
https://affiliateprogramterms.com/mcpListed in the official MCP Registry as com.affiliateprogramterms/affterms. Streamable HTTP, no sign-up. The tools are listed below, exactly as the server describes them to an agent.
All 501 programs, in full, free, with no key. An agent always reads the current edition, including programs added and corrections made since you connected it. An old purchase's access key still works and changes nothing.
A company can also ask its agent to check which categories have a featured spot open and draft a card. The agent hands back a link to pay; it is never told to buy, and nothing is bought without you.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http affterms https://affiliateprogramterms.com/mcpCursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients
Most clients read a JSON config (Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json; VS Code: .vscode/mcp.json, where the top-level key is servers):
{
"mcpServers": {
"affterms": {
"url": "https://affiliateprogramterms.com/mcp"
}
}
}Hermes Agent
In ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then /reload-mcp:
mcp_servers:
affterms:
url: "https://affiliateprogramterms.com/mcp"Chat apps with custom connectors
Where a chat app lets you add a connector by URL, add https://affiliateprogramterms.com/mcp.
Agents that read pages instead
/llms.txt is a plain index of the site, and /llms-full.txt holds every record in one Markdown file. Each program page also has a Markdown copy at the same address ending in .md.
The tools
Every tool the server offers, exactly as it describes them to an agent. The directory tools read; submit_program puts a page in the same queue as the form; the featured tools check availability, draft a card and hand the person a link to pay. No tool pays for anything.
search_programs · Search affiliate program terms
Look up affiliate, referral and partner program terms. Use when someone asks which companies or tools have an affiliate program, which pay recurring commission, which have the longest cookie window or lowest payout minimum, or wants to compare affiliate programs in a category such as hosting, email or CRM. Returns commission, recurring or one-time, cookie window, minimum payout, payout method and network, each with the vendor page it was read from and the date it was read.
query optional — Words in the program or category name, e.g. "supabase" or "email". Leave out to search everything.category optional — A category, e.g. "hosting" or "email".recurring optional — true: only programs that pay on renewals. false: only one-time.min_cookie_days optional — Only programs whose cookie window is at least this many days (or never expires).limit optional — 1 to 100, default 20
get_program · Get one program's terms
Get one tool's affiliate, referral or partner program terms. Use when someone asks about a specific program: "what does beehiiv's affiliate program pay", "does Hunter pay recurring commission", "how long is Hostinger's affiliate cookie", "what is Zyte's minimum payout". `status` is "listed" (commission, recurring or one-time, cookie window, minimum payout, payout method, network and notes, with the vendor page each figure was read from and the date) or "absent" (not listed: offer to submit it with submit_program, if the person agrees).
name — The product or program name.
list_categories · List categories
The categories in the directory, with how many programs each holds and the page that lists them.
No arguments.
submit_program · Submit a program to the directory
Submit an affiliate, referral or partner program's page to be checked and added to the directory, free. Use only when the person asks for it or agrees, typically after get_program says a program is absent. Send the URL of the vendor's own program page; a person reads the terms off that page, and anything sent as figures is only checked against it, never published. Sending the same URL again returns what happened to it. An email address, only if the person gives one, is used to tell them the outcome.
url — The vendor's own affiliate program page, e.g. https://example.com/affiliates.name optional — The product name.notes optional — Anything already known about the terms. Checked against the page, never published.email optional — The person's email, only if they want to hear the outcome. Ask first.
featured_availability · See featured spots by category
Featured placements on affiliateprogramterms.com: a company's affiliate program shown at the top of its category page and under its category on the home page, labelled "Featured", 7d: 7 days for $27, 30d: 30 days for $72, 5 per category, never renewing. Returns, per category, how many spots are open and when the next opens. Use when someone wants to promote their affiliate program to people comparing programs, or asks what featuring costs. Listing itself is free and never sold; featuring changes no figure and no order.
category optional — A category, e.g. "seo" or "hosting".
featured_prepare_card · Prepare a featured card
Prepare a featured placement for a company's own affiliate program. Give the program's page; returns whether the program is listed (and in which category: featuring is only in that one), the likeliest category from the company's website if it is not listed (pass category to choose another), a draft card from the company's website (name up to 32 characters, one line up to 90, no figures and no web addresses), and a link where the person checks it and pays. Nothing is booked or charged until they pay there. Never pay, and never enter payment details: pass the link to the person.
program_url — The company's own affiliate, referral or partner program page.category optional — A category, e.g. "seo" or "hosting".plan optional — 7d: 7 days for $27, 30d: 30 days for $72.
