How it works

• Agent developer signs up as a publisher at affiliate.syndicatelinks.co
• Issues an agent-scoped API key (aff_agent_ prefix)
• Configures this MCP server with the key
• Agent discovers programs via search_programs, applies via apply_to_program, creates links via create_tracking_link, tracks conversions via track_agent_conversion, and checks earnings via get_commission_status

No browser cookies required for the MCP workflow. Attribution stays API-native while tracking links handle click-through routing.
