MCP

Connect your brand data to AI

The Rendezvu MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents to your brand’s live Rendezvu data, so you can ask it anything.

Overview

What is an MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is an authenticated API that an AI assistant can use to read data from a specific platform. Adding one is called adding a connector.

The Rendezvu MCP server gives an assistant a small set of read-only tools that query your own brand data: attributed sales, host performance, the conversion funnel, your campaign pipeline, the notes athletes have written about your gear. When you ask a question, the assistant picks a tool, runs it against live Rendezvu data, and answers from what came back.

It is a hosted server, so there is nothing to install. You add one URL to your AI client, sign in with the Rendezvu account you already have, and the connector is live.

One connector, and it is the only door onto your data. Your client asks, the server runs a scoped read, and the answer comes back.

Why connect it

Your Rendezvu console already shows you everything. The connector is about the questions that a dashboard makes slow: the ones that cross campaigns and hosts and months, and the ones you did not know you wanted until you were already writing something else.

Ask in plain languageNo dashboard to learn and no export to reconcile. Ask who your top five hosts were last quarter and you get the answer, with the numbers behind it.

Answers from live dataEvery response is a query that runs the moment you ask. It is your current Rendezvu data, not a report someone pulled last week.

Your brand, and only your brandScope comes from your admin access and is recomputed on every request. There is no question you can phrase that returns another brand’s numbers.

Read only by constructionThe connector carries read tools only. Nothing an assistant does through it can change a campaign, a host, or a payment.

Sits inside the workThe numbers arrive in the same conversation where you are drafting the board update, briefing an athlete, or writing the monthly recap.

Nothing to installIt is a hosted server, so there is no package, no local process, and no API key to pass around. You sign in with your Rendezvu account.

What you can ask

Every one of these maps onto a tool in the reference below, so none of them are hypothetical.

“How much revenue did our ambassadors drive in the last 30 days?”
“Who are our top five hosts this quarter, ranked by revenue?”
“What is our product-click to sale conversion rate over the last eight weeks?”
“Which campaigns are stuck in DRAFT, and which deadlines are coming up?”
“Which athletes have written notes about our products?”
“Pull the brief, deliverables, and host codes for the spring trail campaign.”
“Draft a monthly performance recap for our leadership team from last month.”

Getting started

Before you start

You need a Rendezvu brand admin account. Sign-in checks that your account has at least one active brand assignment, and anything else, including host accounts, is turned away. If your brand is not on Rendezvu yet, and we will get you set up.

Claude web, desktop, and mobile

Open Settings, then Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Paste https://api.rendezvu.co/mcp as the server URL and save.
Click Connect. A Rendezvu sign-in page opens. Use your email and password, or continue with Google.
Approve the connection. The Rendezvu tools now show up in your chats.

Team and Enterprise plans: an organization Owner has to add the connector for the whole org before members can turn it on.

Claude Code

Add the server, then sign in when prompted.

bash

claude mcp add --transport http rendezvu https://api.rendezvu.co/mcp

Run /mcp inside Claude Code, pick rendezvu, and complete the sign-in in your browser. The token is stored by Claude Code, so this is a one-time step.

Claude Desktop, edited by hand

If you would rather edit the config file than use the Connectors UI, go to Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config, and add the block below.

json

"mcpServers": {
  "rendezvu": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.rendezvu.co/mcp"]
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The first request opens the Rendezvu sign-in page in your browser.

ChatGPT

Open Settings, then Apps, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode.
Add a connector by URL, using https://api.rendezvu.co/mcp.
Sign in with your Rendezvu account.

Business and Enterprise workspaces: an admin has to allow the connector under Settings, then Permissions and Roles, then Connected Data. Developer mode is available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu.

Verify the connection

Open a new chat and ask for something only your Rendezvu data can answer:

“What does my Rendezvu brand summary look like?”

The assistant should ask permission to use the Rendezvu connector, then come back with your recommender count, your product count, and your top recommenders. If it answers without ever asking permission, it did not query anything. Tell it to use the Rendezvu connector and ask again.

Tool reference

These are the nine tools a brand connector gets. All of them are read-only. Tools that write, that read across brands, or that run raw SQL are internal to Rendezvu and are never listed to a brand connector, let alone callable by one.

get_brand_summaryA one-call overview of your brand: how many hosts recommend you, how many of your products are in active lists, your top recommenders, recent activity, and the endorsement notes hosts have written about your gear.

sales_attributionEvery attributed sale and commission across Shopify, AvantLink, Impact, AWIN, and Partnerize, with the host who drove it, the revenue, and the commission. Filter by host, network, status, or date range.

host_performanceOne host’s full report: profile views, list views, product clicks, buy-now clicks, attributed sales, revenue, and commission. Ask for all hosts to get a ranked leaderboard instead.

click_funnelThe weekly conversion funnel from profile view to list view to product click to buy-now click to sale, with the conversion rate at every stage.

opportunity_pipelineSearch and list your campaigns: status breakdown, host counts, payment states, deadlines, and anything stuck. This is how a plain-language reference to a campaign becomes something the next tool can look up.

get_opportunityA deep dive on one campaign, found by partial name, id, or assignment code: the exact title, the brief as plain text, deliverables, hosts and their codes, payment terms, and per-host invite states.

gear_recommendationThe products of yours best suited to a given ask, with the recommending host’s expertise, notes, and pricing. Filter by sport, category, price, or host.

get_skillsYour brand’s saved skills: brand identity, the hosts you want, regions, focus sports, partnership style, voice and tone, and current goals. Standing context, so you do not have to re-explain your brand every session.

thinkA scratchpad the assistant uses to plan which tool to reach for. It touches no data and takes no action.

Security and scope

Read only, enforced twiceBrand connectors are given read tools only, and the database role behind the connector refuses writes regardless. Creating and editing campaigns stays inside Rendezvu.
Scope is recomputed per requestYour scope is derived from your active brand admin assignments every single time you ask something. Gain access to another brand and it is included on the next query. Lose it and it is gone from the same moment.
Access follows the accountRevoke a teammate’s Rendezvu admin access and their connector stops returning data on its next request. There is no separate credential to hunt down and rotate.
Short-lived tokens, no shared secretSigning in issues an access token that lives one hour and refreshes itself in the background. Your Claude client holds it. Nobody pastes a key into a config file.
Rate limited per brandThirty requests per minute, counted per brand. A burst from one teammate cannot exhaust another brand’s quota.

Troubleshooting

Sign-in sends me back with an access_denied errorThe connector is for brand admins. Your Rendezvu account needs at least one active brand admin assignment, and host accounts are not eligible. If you think you should have access, ask your team’s Rendezvu admin to add you, or email support@rendezvu.co.

The Rendezvu tools do not appear in my chatTools are listed when the session connects, so a conversation that started before you added the connector will not see them. Start a new chat, or restart the client, then confirm the connector is enabled for that conversation.

The assistant answers without querying anythingModels will sometimes answer from what is already in the conversation. Name the source in your prompt, for example "use the Rendezvu connector to pull last month’s sales", and ask which tool it called. If it cannot name one, it did not query your data.

The numbers do not match my Rendezvu consoleCheck the window before you check the math. Most tools default to the last 30 days and the funnel defaults to the last eight weeks, so an unqualified question rarely covers the period you had in mind. State the range you want.

Requests start failing after a burst of questionsThat is the rate limit, which is 30 requests per minute per brand. Wait a minute and carry on. A single long question can spend several requests, because the assistant may call more than one tool to answer it.

Still stuck?Email support@rendezvu.co and tell us which client you are using and what the assistant said. If your brand is not on Rendezvu yet, .
