Common questions
Is affset safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: AFFSET_BASE_URL, AFFSET_API_KEY, AFFSET_NAMESPACE
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

affset MCP server
An MCP server that lets a media buyer run affset from a chat client — pull stats, manage campaigns/zones/team, payouts, targeting, sub labels, and cut underperforming zones in plain language, no dashboard.
The tools wrap the existing affset tenant API. Connect through the hosted endpoint (OAuth, no API key) or run this package locally (Bearer token + X-Namespace). One connection serves one tenant.
Fastest way to connect — the hosted endpoint. Add https://mcp.affset.com/mcp as a remote MCP server in Claude (web or desktop), Cursor, Claude Code, or any client that supports streamable HTTP with OAuth: paste the URL, sign in with your affset email, keep Read-only (the consent default) or grant full access. Every connection shows up on the dashboard Integrations page and can be revoked individually. Setup guide: affset.com/integrations.
The npm package below is the self-host path: same tool roster, runs on your machine with an API key you manage yourself. Stdio defaults to full access unless you set AFFSET_READ_ONLY=true.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
whoami | Show the tenant this server is bound to: namespace, API base, derived dashboard URL, and (when readable) company / timezone / custom API domain. Read-only. | |
get_stats | Traffic stats grouped by a dimension (date, campaign, zone, country, sub1–5, advertiser, publisher, …), optionally narrowed with advertiser_email/publisher_email filters (one user, any group_by). Returns clicks, conversions, CR, payout, media cost and ROI as a table. paid_only defaults to true (same as the dashboard) so CR excludes informative conversions. Sub columns use the tenant's sub labels when configured. Per-user groupings and filters are owner/manager plus the matching side's manager role. | |
list_campaigns | List campaigns (status / name filter, pagination). | |
get_campaign | One campaign's full record — every field (untruncated offer URL, exact schedule, budgets/pacing, silent flag, payout goal type) plus its targeting rules and payout rules, in one call. | |
list_zones | List traffic-source zones (status / name filter, pagination, linked source). | |
list_team | List team members (email, role, manager). Never returns API tokens. | |
create_team_member | Invite a team member (owner, manager, publisher, advertiser, publisher_manager, advertiser_manager). A scoped manager key can only create its own managed role, self-assigned. Returns the new API key once — list_team never shows it again. Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. | |
create_campaign | Create a campaign from an advertiser email, offer URL, geo, payout and name. Defaults: CPA / rate 0, paused, global payout rule, and a ready tracking link (linked source template when configured; otherwise source_click_id={clickid} + sub placeholders). Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. | |
set_campaign_status | Run or pause a campaign (`action: "run" \ | "pause"). **Dry-run by default**; confirm: true` to apply. Running can hit the plan's active-campaign limit. |
update_campaign | Partial update (name, offer URL, status, rate, budgets, dates, …). Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. Prefer set_campaign_status for run/pause. | |
create_zone | Create a traffic-source zone (name + optional postback/site/traffic-back URLs, optional traffic_source_id link). Always created active. Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. | |
update_zone | Partial update (name, status, URLs, traffic_source_id). Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. Pass null to clear a URL or unlink the source. | |
list_traffic_sources | List traffic sources — the networks bought from, each with the tracking/postback templates its linked zones use. API token shown only as set/none. | |
create_traffic_source | Create a traffic source, optionally from a network preset (exoclick, trafficstars, propellerads, adsterra, richads) that copies verified templates into an editable row. Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. | |
update_traffic_source | Partial update (name, templates, api_token, status). Linked zones pick the new tracking template up immediately. Dry-run by default; confirm: true to apply. | |
list_source_bids | The network campaigns of one traffic source with their current bids, read live from the network account (ExoClick, TrafficStars, RichAds — needs the source's API token): status, pricing model, bid in USD, last change that entered Affset's mutation stage. Read-only. | |
set_source_bid | Set one network campaign's bid in USD using its existing pricing model (for RichAds: CPM for pops, CPC for push/display). The dry run returns expected_current_bid; pass that value back with confirm: true to bind the write to the bid reviewed, so a concurrent change is refused rather than overwritten. Records the attempt in the source's bid history and reports applied only when the network echoes the new value. Raising a bid above 5× needs allow_large_increase: true. Dry-run by default. | |
get_zone_url | The /serve URL to paste into a network's campaign settings — rotates across the zone's active campaigns. A zone linked to a traffic source renders that source's tracking template; otherwise prefilled sub convention + optional cost macro. Warns when no active campaigns are visible. |
| get_tracking_link | The /track/click
