Check affiliate links from your AI tool
PathGuard works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible tool. One config line, instant access.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. When you add PathGuard as an MCP server, your AI can check affiliate links, view reports, and monitor link health without you leaving your editor or chat.

Available Tools
Once connected, your AI assistant will have access to these tools:
check_affiliate_link
Check if an affiliate link is tracking properly. Opens the URL in a real headless browser, follows all redirects, inspects cookies, detects the affiliate network, and returns a health score (0–100) with specific issues and fix recommendations. Supports Awin, CJ, Amazon, Impact, ShareASale, Rakuten, Skimlinks, and more.
detect_affiliate_network
Detect which affiliate network a URL belongs to by matching URL patterns. Supports Awin, CJ, Amazon, Impact, ShareASale, Rakuten, Skimlinks, and more. Free, instant, no browser session needed.
get_link_report
Retrieve a previously generated affiliate link health report. Use the slug returned by check_affiliate_link, or extract it from a PathGuard report URL.
get_my_usage
Show your usage this month across all check types, with estimated costs.
