What is the Modash MCP connector?

Written by Donna

Your Modash data, inside your AI assistant. The MCP connector lets you plug Claude, Cursor, Notion AI, and other AI tools directly into your Modash account - so you can ask questions, pull reports, search creators, and take action - all without switching tabs.

Think of it as giving your AI assistant a live window into Modash. Instead of copying data into spreadsheets or pasting screenshots into a chat, just ask and get real-time answers, or take action directly from your AI tool.

💡 Your Modash server URL is: https://marketer.modash.io/mcp

How it works

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to apps like Modash. Once connected, your AI assistant can access your Modash data directly - campaigns, creator lists, outreach stats, and more.

You ask a question or give an instruction in plain language. Your AI tool works with Modash in real time and gets it done. Modash handles the data and actions - your AI tool interprets the response.

No exporting. No tab switching. No copy-pasting.

What you can do with it

Once connected, your AI assistant can pull data from across the Modash platform:

  • Creator discovery - find creators matching a brief, search by niche, or find lookalikes

  • Campaign management - create campaigns, add creators, pull metrics, and review content delivery

  • List management - create and edit lists, add or remove creators, and review profile data

  • Creator relationships - update creator statuses and manage your CRM data

  • Affiliate and revenue data - check sales attribution, commission status, and payout history

It's like having an assistant who already knows your entire Modash account - and can take action in it too.

💡 Pro tip: MCP is available on all paid Modash plans. You don't need an API subscription or a special add-on to get started.

Which AI tools are supported?

MCP is an open standard - not tied to any single AI tool. You can connect Modash to:

  • Claude (by Anthropic)

  • Cursor (AI code editor)

  • Claude Code (by Anthropic)

  • Notion AI (by Notion)

  • Any other tool that supports the MCP protocol

New AI tools are adopting MCP regularly, so this list keeps growing.

Security and permissions

Your data stays safe. Here's how:

  • Connects as you - the MCP connector inherits your account permissions. It can only access what you can access in Modash. If your permissions change, so does the MCP's

  • Live queries - your AI asks a live question and gets a live answer, every time.

  • Controlled access - the connector only exposes specific data and actions that Modash has chosen to make available. It can't see your account settings or billing information

  • Revocable access - you can disconnect MCP at any time from Connect AI Tools in your Modash settings

Does it use credits?

Most MCP actions are completely free - no credits used. The one exception is unlocking creator emails, which uses export credits just like it does in the Modash dashboard.

MCP vs the Modash API

Both help other tools work with Modash, but they're built for different people:

MCP

API

Best for

Asking Modash questions from Claude, Cursor, or other AI tools in natural language

Building a custom app, sync, or pipeline

Who uses it

Marketers and ops teams in an AI chat

Engineers and developers

Setup

Connect once in your AI tool

API keys, code, and documentation

Access

Same as your Modash user permissions

Programmatic, full control

BI / warehouse

Your AI can help push data as a one-off workflow

Proper continuous sync - use the API or a dedicated connector

Rule of thumb: chatting with Modash → MCP. Building a product or scheduled pipeline → API.

MCP doesn't replace the API. If you're already using the API for custom workflows, MCP is a separate, complementary way to interact with your Modash data.

What MCP is not

A few things worth clarifying:

  • Not a smarter AI - MCP doesn't change the intelligence of your AI tool. It just gives it access to your Modash data

  • Not a data export or pipeline - nothing gets duplicated or synced elsewhere. Every answer comes from a live query

  • Not a BI or data-warehouse connector - if you need continuous data syncing to a warehouse or reporting tool, the Modash API is the right fit

  • Not a replacement for the Modash dashboard - it's an additional way in. You can still use Discover, Manage, Track, and everything else exactly as before

  • Not unlimited access - the connector only exposes the specific tools and data Modash has enabled. It doesn't open your entire account to the AI

FAQs

  • Do I need a Modash API subscription to use MCP?
    No. MCP is available on all Modash plan tiers. It's a platform feature, not an API add-on.

  • Is my data safe when using MCP?
    Yes. The connector inherits your account permissions - it can only access what you can access in Modash. Your AI tool gets live answers directly from your account.

  • Can my AI assistant make changes to my Modash account?
    Yes! You can create and edit lists, add creators to campaigns, create campaigns, and update creator relationships through your AI tool. Email and outreach tools are coming soon.

  • Does MCP work with ChatGPT, or only Claude?
    MCP is an open standard that works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any other AI tool that supports the protocol. It's not tied to any single provider.

  • Can other team members use MCP too?
    Yes. Each team member connects MCP with their own account and inherits their own permissions. Everyone's access stays separate and secure.
