How do you run an influencer campaign from an AI agent?

What is Transformer's MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI assistants to use outside tools. Transformer runs an MCP server over streamable HTTP that exposes the same actions as its dashboard and REST API. Transformer describes both sides as equal API users: nothing is dashboard-only, and using the MCP server costs nothing extra.

Tool inputs mirror the REST request bodies, and results come back as the same JSON the API returns.

How do I connect an agent?

There are two ways to authenticate:

In Claude Code, one command adds the server:

claude mcp add --transport http transformer https://transformer.gg/mcp

For a headless setup, add --header "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSFORMER_API_KEY". Any client that reads an mcp.json file can point at the same URL with the same header. Asking the agent to call whoami confirms which workspace it's acting for.

What can a brand's agent do?

With a brand workspace, the tools include:

• suggestions and write_asks for X creators matched to the brand's website, with a short ask written for each;
• search_creators and add_creators to find creators by keyword or handle, or add ones that aren't indexed yet;
• send_offers and create_offer to send offers to one or many creators;
• pay_offers to pay for accepted offers within 72 hours, from the balance first, then a checkout link;
• cancel_offer for an offer that hasn't been accepted, or an accepted one that isn't paid yet;
• list_offers, get_offer and offer_stats to follow progress;
• report_conversion to record a sale.

Sending an offer costs nothing. The brand pays only for offers a creator accepts, and the creator posts only after that payment.

What can a creator's agent do?

A creator workspace lets an agent list incoming offers, accept or decline them, list accepted deals with their next step, submit the URL of a post the creator published, and check earnings, balance and payout requests. It can also save payout methods and request payouts. It cannot post on X, because Transformer never posts for creators.

What guardrails keep an agent safe?

• One key or connection, one workspace. An agent acts for exactly one brand or creator and sees nothing else.
• Nothing is charged until a creator accepts. Offers go out unpaid, and paying for an accepted offer is a separate step within 72 hours.
• The agent never moves money. Payment is held once the brand pays and released only by verification.
• You're responsible for your agent. Transformer's terms treat what an agent does with your key as if you did it.
• Revocable access. Keys can be revoked from the workspace page and sign-ins from Settings → Agents.

Are there any limits today?

Yes. Paid offers run on X only. Webhooks aren't available yet, so agents poll offers and stats for changes. If you'd rather not use MCP, the same actions are in the CLI and REST API.
