GotCashback MCP Server
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants directly to GotCashback's live cashback rates, portal comparisons, store data, and gift card deals — no scraping, no stale data.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools and pull live data during a conversation. Instead of an AI guessing at cashback rates from outdated training data, it can query GotCashback's server directly and get current numbers.
What the GotCashback MCP server does
Once connected, an AI assistant can look up cashback portals, compare rates across portals for a given store, browse stores by country, and find discounted gift cards — all in response to a user's question, with results pulled live from GotCashback.

This is a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP transport). You don't need to install or host anything — just point a compatible AI assistant at the URL below.
Installation instructions
Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop)
- Open Settings → Connectors (in Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors; on claude.ai: the connectors icon in a chat).
- Click Add custom connector.
- Enter the URL:
https://mcp.gotcashback.com - Give it a name (e.g. "GotCashback") and save.
- Enable the connector in any conversation where you want cashback lookups — Claude will call the tools automatically when relevant.
ChatGPT

- Choose to add a custom connector and enter the server URL:
https://mcp.gotcashback.com - Follow the prompts to authorize and enable it for use in chat or in a custom GPT's configuration.
Other MCP-compatible clients (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Most MCP clients accept a JSON config pointing at a remote server. A typical entry looks like:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gotcashback": {
"url": "https://mcp.gotcashback.com"
}
}
}Check your specific client's documentation for where this config file lives (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor) — the URL and structure above are the same across most clients since they follow the same MCP spec.
Example prompts once connected
- "What's the best cashback rate for Best Buy right now?"
- "Are there any discounted gift cards for Target?"
- "Which cashback portals are available in the UK?"
