AON MCP Server

Give any MCP-capable agent the ability to recommend real, buyable products and services — live pricing and a trackable link on every offer, drawn from the Agent Offer Network.

Endpoint: POST https://api.aon.pro/v1/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless JSON-RPC 2.0 — no SSE, no session handshake)
Auth: Authorization: Bearer <AON API key> — use an issued live key from the Developer Portal
Quick Start: run the curl or client examples with your issued key; credentials are never embedded in these public assets
Docs: docs.aon.pro/mcp

Tools

The Hosted AON endpoint currently lists five tools. Protocol v1.0 names the four base tools below; aon_get_category_schema is an optional Hosted category-guidance extension, not a portable Protocol v1.0 guarantee. Discover it through tools/list before calling it.

aon_search_offers — Search offers by natural-language intent; every result carries live pricing, a tracking link, and pre-validated follow-up suggestions.
aon_resolve_category — Turn free text into AON Taxonomy v1 category ids.
aon_get_category_schema — Optional Hosted extension: decision factors for a resolved category id, to ask the right clarifying question before searching.
aon_submit_feedback — Record an explicit "dismissed" / "not interested" on an offer (early scaffold: acknowledged, not persisted yet).
aon_manage_watch — Restore or cancel the default watch on an offer or category on explicit request (early scaffold: acknowledged, not persisted yet).

Tool	What it does
`aon_search_offers`	Search offers by natural-language intent. Arguments are an AgentOffer Query request object — the same shape as the REST API. Returns offers with pricing, a tracking link each, and an `engagement` block of pre-validated follow-up suggestions the agent can act on.
`aon_resolve_category`	Turn free text ("hiking boots", "team chat software") into AON Taxonomy v1 category ids — the model never has to memorize or invent them.
`aon_get_category_schema`	Optional Hosted extension: return decision factors for an already resolved category id, to ask the right clarifying question before searching. Its standalone result does not add `decision_factors` to the Query request or response.
`aon_submit_feedback`	Record an explicit "dismissed" / "not interested" from the user on an offer — never inferred from silence. Early scaffold: the call is acknowledged with success, but feedback is not persisted yet; the workflow behind it is rolling out.
`aon_manage_watch`	Restore (`watch`) or cancel (`unwatch`) the default watch on an offer or category when the user explicitly asks. Early scaffold: acknowledged with success, watch state not persisted yet.

Design notes agents benefit from:

Forgiving by design — invalid values never fail a search; they are treated as "not sent" and corrected in extra.hints[]. Only bad auth, invalid JSON, a missing intent.content, or an oversized body hard-fail.
Relevance-gated — an empty result list is a real answer, never filler.
Guidance loop — follow-up suggestions carry an RFC 7386 request_patch that merges straight into the next call, plus an origin to echo back for adoption attribution.

Quick start

curl -s -X POST https://api.aon.pro/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AON_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "aon_search_offers",
      "arguments": {
        "intent": {
          "content": [
            { "type": "input_text", "text": "credit card with cashback" }
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    "id": 1
  }'

Client setup

Ready-to-paste configs live in examples/:

Client	Config
Claude Code	`examples/claude-code`
Claude Desktop	`examples/claude-desktop` (via `mcp-remote`)
Cursor	`examples/cursor`
VS Code	`examples/vscode`
Plain curl	`examples/curl`

Rate limits

/v1/mcp allows 60 tools/call requests per minute per key; handshake calls (initialize, tools/list, notifications/*) are never counted. An over-limit tools/call returns HTTP 200 with JSON-RPC error -32000 so the model can read the retry advice. Details: Rate Limits & FAQ.

Monetization & attribution

Every offer carries a tracked destination link (action.payload.url). Surface it verbatim — clicks and conversions attribute to your API key's application, which is the basis for developer revenue share. Reporting lives in the Developer Portal.
