MCP server Clickwise Affiliate Network

Clickwise API: products by GTIN, tracked affiliate links, MCP

Clickwise is an affiliate network with an API built for developers and AI agents. Search product feeds with GTINs from the networks, get product links tracked to you, find and join affiliate programs, and pull your conversions. Use it over REST, from an AI agent through MCP, or from HasOffers-compatible tools.

This repo gets you from zero to a working call: quickstarts, thin clients, MCP configs and a deployable affiliate store.

1. First call, no key

# How big is the catalog right now?
curl -s https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/public/catalog-stats/

# Sample products in one market (DE, ES, GB, PT, SE, FR, US); no links without a key
curl -s "https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/public/catalog-sample/?country=DE"

# Ask the MCP server which programs fit your site
curl -s https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"find_affiliate_programs","arguments":{"topic":"sneakers","country":"ES","channel":"site"}}}'

2. Get your key

Request a publisher API key at https://partners.clickwise.net/developers/. Put it in an environment variable and keep it on your server:

export CLICKWISE_API_KEY=...   # never commit it, never ship it to a browser

3. First call with your key

# Who am I, what can this key do, what are my limits?
curl -s https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/publisher/me/ -H "X-API-Key: $CLICKWISE_API_KEY"

# Price, stock and YOUR tracked link for up to 100 GTINs
curl -s --get https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/publisher/products/lookup/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: $CLICKWISE_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'gtins=4006381333931,5901234123457' --data-urlencode 'country=DE'

# Search by title in one market
curl -s --get https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/publisher/products/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: $CLICKWISE_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'q=sneaker' --data-urlencode 'country=GB' --data-urlencode 'limit=20'

# Same kind of search in Germany (publisher key or sandbox key)
curl -s --get https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/publisher/products/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: $CLICKWISE_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'q=smartwatch' --data-urlencode 'country=DE' --data-urlencode 'limit=20'

Each product comes back as {"gtin", "title", "price", "currency", "image", "url", "merchant", "availability", ...}. url is your tracked link: publish it exactly as returned.

Runnable versions of steps 1 and 3: quickstart/curl.sh · quickstart/quickstart.mjs (Node 18+) · quickstart/quickstart.py (Python 3.8+). No dependencies.

4. Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/mcp, listed in the official MCP Registry as net.clickwise/mcp. The key is optional: program discovery, deals, catalog stats and provisional tracked links work without it.

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http clickwise https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/mcp --header "X-API-Key: $CLICKWISE_API_KEY"

# OpenAI Codex CLI
codex mcp add clickwise --url https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/mcp

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http clickwise https://partners.clickwise.net/api/v1/mcp

Install buttons for Cursor and Replit

Both buttons add the server URL without a key, which gives you the public tools. Cursor and Replit ask you to confirm before they add it. For the tools that need a key, add an X-API-Key header with your key to the server settings. Bolt, v0 and Lovable take the same URL as a custom MCP server: see the steps in mcp/.

Links returned by these tools are affiliate links: if someone buys through them, the publisher who shares them may receive a commission from the store.

Plugins, extensions and skills

• Claude Code plugin (MCP server plus the skill below): /plugin marketplace add softdevfz/clickwise-api, then /plugin install clickwise@clickwise. Set CLICKWISE_API_KEY in your environment to use the tools that need a key.
• Codex plugin (same MCP server and skill): codex plugin marketplace add softdevfz/clickwise-api, then codex plugin add clickwise@clickwise. The key, if set, is read from CLICKWISE_API_KEY.
• Antigravity CLI plugin: agy plugin install https://github.com/softdevfz/clickwise-api.
• Kimi Code CLI plugin (same MCP server and skill): /plugins install https://github.com/softdevfz/clickwise-api, then /reload. It connects without a key; for the tools that need one, add the server to your Kimi Code MCP config with "bearerTokenEnvVar": "CLICKWISE_API_KEY".
• Gemini CLI extension: gemini extensions install https://github.com/softdevfz/clickwise-api. It adds the MCP server and GEMINI.md as context.
• Agent Skill for any agent that reads SKILL.md (Claude, Codex and others): skills/clickwise-affiliate-links. Copy the folder into your agent's skills directory.

Configs for Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, Claude Desktop, VS Code, ChatGPT, Grok, Bolt, v0, Lovable and n8n, plus the tool list, in mcp/.

5. Ship an affiliate store

templates/affiliate-store: a Next.js storefront that reads products by GTIN, shows live prices and publishes your tracked links. It deploys without a key in preview mode.

Building with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Paste templates/affiliate-store/PROMPT.md.

Running your own app or SaaS? Paste templates/merchant-tracking/PROMPT.md into Lovable, Bolt or v0 to add Clickwise sales tracking with Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or the conversions API.

WooCommerce: import the Clickwise product feed with WP All Import → guides/woocommerce/wp-all-import.md

6. Clients

Thin, dependency-free clients generated from the OpenAPI, one method per operation:

• TypeScript: clients/typescript/clickwise.ts (copy one file; Node, Bun, Deno, edge).
• Python: clients/python (pip install "git+https://github.com/softdevfz/clickwise-api#subdirectory=clients/python").

const cw = new Clickwise(); // CLICKWISE_API_KEY
const { products } = await cw.lookupProducts({ gtins: "4006381333931", country: "DE" });

What the API covers

Area	Endpoints (/api/v1/publisher/…)
Products	GET products/ search · GET products/lookup/ by id or GTIN (1–100)
Programs	GET programs/ · GET programs/joinable/ · POST programs/apply/
Links	GET/POST links/ · POST links/batch/ (up to 50, each with its own status)
Reporting	GET conversions/ · GET reports/ (day, week, month, sub-ID, campaign, status) · GET clicks/
Postbacks	GET postback/ · POST postback/test/ · GET postback/deliveries/ (signed HMAC webhooks)
Account	GET me/: access and rate limits for your key

One error shape ({"error": {"code", "message", "status", "request_id"}}), RateLimit-* headers on every response, Retry-After on 429, Idempotency-Key on POST, X-Request-Id everywhere. Changes inside v1 are additive.

Rules of the road

• Keep the key on your server. A key acts only for its own account and never has admin access.
• Publish product and tracking links exactly as returned, and disclose affiliate relationships (rel="sponsored" on links plus a visible disclosure).
• Refresh prices at least every 48 hours; hide products a lookup no longer returns.
• Honour rate limits: back off on 429 using Retry-After.
