Using InfluenceKit with AI Assistants (MCP)

Connect Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants to your InfluenceKit account

Updated today

You can now connect AI assistants like Claude directly to your InfluenceKit account. Instead of copying and pasting data between tabs, just ask your AI assistant to pull campaign stats, create assignments, discover influencers, or diagnose issues — and it will do it for you, live from your InfluenceKit data.

This works through MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets AI tools securely connect to the apps you already use. You don't need to be technical to set it up.

What Can the AI Do?

Once connected, your AI assistant can do different things depending on your account type.

For Brands:

  • Look up campaigns and deliverables — Ask about performance, stats, or status for any campaign or piece of content.

  • Create campaigns and assignments — Set up new influencer campaigns and assignment briefs conversationally.

  • Invite influencers — Send assignment invitations by email and generate signup links.

  • Discover influencers — Search for creators by niche, platform, follower count, or engagement rate.

  • Update your brand profile — Set your description, category, products, target audience, and aesthetic.

  • Check social media connections — Find out if your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or other platform connections are healthy and authenticated.

  • Diagnose and fix issues — If a deliverable isn't pulling stats, the AI can investigate why, clear error states, and refresh statistics.

For Influencers:

  • View your assignments — See invitations from brands with status, due dates, and performance stats.

  • Create events and add deliverables — Set up content campaigns on your calendar and add social post URLs.

  • Check your deliverables — View stats, errors, and connection health across all your content.

  • Refresh statistics — Ask the AI to trigger a stats re-fetch from the platform API.

  • Diagnose issues — Find out why a deliverable isn't pulling stats and get troubleshooting guidance.

Think of it as having an assistant who already knows how to navigate InfluenceKit and can answer your questions instantly.


Who Can Use This?

This feature is available to all admin users on brand and influencer accounts. If you're the only user in your account, you're the admin.


Setting Up with Claude Desktop

Here's how to connect Claude to your InfluenceKit account in about two minutes:

  • Install Claude Desktop if you haven't already — download it at claude.ai/download.

  • Open Claude Desktop settings. Click the menu icon, then go to Settings → Developer.

  • Add a new custom connector with these settings:

  • Follow the steps to complete OAuth authentication to grant Claude access to your InfluenceKit account via the MCP.

That's it. Claude can now access your InfluenceKit data in any conversation.


Examples: What to Ask

Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:

For brands:

"Show me all active campaigns for Acme Co."

"Create a new campaign called Summer Trails 2026."

"Find outdoor influencers with at least 10,000 followers and 3% engagement rate."

"Create an assignment for an Instagram Reel and invite chris@example.com."

"Why isn't this Instagram deliverable pulling stats?"

"Check if our YouTube connection is still working."

"Refresh the stats on deliverable #12345."

"What deliverables are in an error state right now?"

For influencers:

"Show me my current assignments and their status."

"Create an event called 'Summer Collab' and add this Instagram post to it."

"Which of my deliverables have errors right now?"

"Refresh the stats on my latest TikTok deliverable."

Just type naturally — Claude understands what you're asking and will pull the right data from InfluenceKit automatically.


Security and Privacy

We know you're trusting this connection with client data, so here's how it stays safe:

  • Admin-only access. Only admin users can connect AI assistants to their account.

  • Same authentication as the InfluenceKit API. Your connection uses secure OAuth authentication to protect your account.

  • Quota-enforced operations. The AI can create campaigns, assignments, events, and deliverables — all within your account's plan limits. It cannot delete anything or change account settings.

  • Your credentials stay on your computer. They're stored locally in your Claude Desktop configuration — they aren't sent to anyone except InfluenceKit's servers when making requests.

If you ever want to revoke access, simply remove the server from Claude Desktop.
