Connect Trendly to your AI assistant

OVERVIEW

Before you start

You need three things.

• An activated Trendly account. Brand and agency accounts both work. An account that is still under review cannot sign in yet.
• The server URL: https://mcp.trendly.com.sa. The endpoint is the root URL itself, not /mcp or /mcp/sse.
• An assistant that supports remote MCP servers, such as the ones below.

• Claude
• ChatGPT
• Codex
• Claude Code
• Cursor
• VS Code

Signing in works the same way everywhere. The assistant opens a Trendly sign-in page, you sign in with your Trendly email and password, and you are sent back. That is the whole setup. The assistant never sees your password.

CLAUDE

Claude on the web, desktop and mobile

1. 1

   Step 1: Open Settings, then Connectors

   In Claude, open Settings and go to Connectors.

2. 2

   Step 2: Add a custom connector

   Choose Add custom connector. Name it Trendly and paste the URL https://mcp.trendly.com.sa. Choose Add.

3. 3

   Step 3: Connect and sign in

   Choose Connect next to Trendly. A Trendly sign-in page opens. Sign in with your Trendly email and password.

4. 4

   Step 4: Turn it on in a chat

   In a conversation, open the tools menu and switch Trendly on. Then ask for something, for example "Show my active campaigns".

CHATGPT

ChatGPT

1. 1

   Step 1: Turn on Developer mode

   Open Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode.

2. 2

   Step 2: Create the connector

   Back in Apps & Connectors, choose Create. Name it Trendly, set the MCP server URL to https://mcp.trendly.com.sa and set Authentication to OAuth. Choose Create.

3. 3

   Step 3: Sign in

   A Trendly sign-in page opens. Sign in with your Trendly email and password.

4. 4

   Step 4: Use it in a chat

   Start a new chat, pick Trendly from the tools menu and ask away.

CODEX

Codex

The Codex CLI, the IDE extension and the Codex app share one configuration, so adding Trendly once makes it available in all three.

1. 1

   Step 1: Add the server and sign in

   In a terminal:

   Terminal

   Copy

   codex mcp add trendly --url https://mcp.trendly.com.sa
   codex mcp login trendly

   The second command opens the Trendly sign-in page in your browser. Sign in with your Trendly email and password.

2. 2

   Step 2: Or add it in the app

   In the Codex app or the IDE extension, open Settings, then MCP servers, and choose Add server. Name it trendly, choose Streamable HTTP, paste https://mcp.trendly.com.sa and save. Restart when asked, then choose Authenticate.

Either way the server ends up in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.trendly]
url = "https://mcp.trendly.com.sa"

CLAUDE CODE

Claude Code

1. 1

   Step 1: Add the server

   In a terminal:

   Terminal

   Copy

   claude mcp add --transport http trendly https://mcp.trendly.com.sa

2. 2

   Step 2: Authenticate

   Start Claude Code, run /mcp, pick trendly and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens the Trendly sign-in page.

By default the server is added for the current project only. Add --scope user to the command to have it in every project.

CURSOR

Cursor

1. 1

   Step 1: Add the server

   Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create the file if it does not exist). To share it with a project instead, put it in .cursor/mcp.json in the repo.

   ~/.cursor/mcp.json

   Copy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "trendly": {
         "url": "https://mcp.trendly.com.sa"
       }
     }
   }

2. 2

   Step 2: Sign in

   Open Customize in Cursor's sidebar (in older versions, Cursor Settings, then MCP) and choose Connect or Login next to trendly. Sign in on the page that opens.

VS CODE

VS Code with GitHub Copilot

1. 1

   Step 1: Add the server

   Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

   .vscode/mcp.json

   Copy

   {
     "servers": {
       "trendly": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://mcp.trendly.com.sa"
       }
     }
   }

2. 2

   Step 2: Start it and sign in

   Choose Start above the server in that file. VS Code asks you to sign in, and opens the Trendly sign-in page.

3. 3

   Step 3: Use it in agent mode

   Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent, and the Trendly tools are available.

OTHER CLIENTS

Any other MCP client

Point the client at https://mcp.trendly.com.sa over Streamable HTTP and let it sign in with OAuth. A client that supports OAuth discovery and dynamic registration needs nothing else.

Clients without OAuth

For a client that can only send a fixed header, there is a legacy bearer token. Ask for one with your Trendly email and password:

curl -X POST https://mcp.trendly.com.sa/mcp-token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "email": "[email protected]", "password": "YOUR_TRENDLY_PASSWORD" }'

The token field of the response is the bearer token. Send it on every request as Authorization: Bearer <token>, for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trendly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.trendly.com.sa",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

TOOLS

What it can do

About 125 tools for brands and agencies, covering most of what you do in the dashboard. The assistant picks the tools; you ask in plain words.

Affiliate sales are not reported through MCP. For those, use the Sales API.

EXAMPLES

Things to ask

Start with something like these, and change the names and numbers to yours.

The more specific the ask, the fewer questions the assistant comes back with.

SECURITY

What it can reach, and how to stop it

• It acts as you. The assistant works as the signed-in user, with the same permissions as your dashboard. It cannot see other brands' data, and an agency sees the brands it manages.
• Its actions are real. Approving an offer, sending a message or creating a payment link reaches real creators. Most assistants ask before running a tool that changes something. Read what it is about to do before you allow it.
• To disconnect, remove the Trendly connector in your assistant. That stops it at once.
• To end every session, change your Trendly password. Every connected assistant, and every legacy token, has to sign in again.
