The Roster MCP Server puts your live program data inside the AI assistant you already use. Plain-English questions in, dashboard-accurate answers out.
If you run a brand ambassador program, you know the drill. Multiple teams need the quarterly ROI story. Finance wants commissions reconciled. Your founder wants to know who the top creators were this month and what they posted. Each answer lives in a different report, and pulling them together means exporting CSVs, wrangling spreadsheets, and hand-building a deck.
We built the Roster MCP Server to skip all of that. Connect Roster to your AI assistant, whether that’s Claude or ChatGPT, and just ask. In plain English. Because the answers come straight from the same reports your Brand Dashboard runs on, you can trust the numbers and click through to verify them.
Available now. The Roster MCP Server is live for every Roster customer at no extra cost.
“Brands know word-of-mouth works. What they have never had is a fast, defensible way to prove it and act on it. Our AI launch goes straight at that: ask how your program is performing, get an accurate answer in seconds from the same reports our Brand Dashboard runs on. When proof takes seconds instead of an afternoon, brands stop reporting on this channel and start scaling it.”
— Raj Nijjer, CEO, Roster
Once connected, you start a normal conversation with your assistant and ask about your program. A few things brands are trying first:
“How is my ambassador program performing over the last 30 days? Build me an executive summary.” → Your program dashboard, covering applicants, members, posts, engagement, earned media value, and referred revenue, written up as a summary with a link back to the Brand Dashboard so you can verify every figure.
“Who are my top 10 ambassadors by referred revenue this quarter? Include their commissions.” → The same Sales Attribution report you’d open under Reports, ranked and ready to paste into an email.
“Which ambassadors generated the most earned media value last month, and what did they post?” → Your top EMV drivers, combined with their actual posts and links.
“Give me approved ambassadors with email, phone, and Instagram handle, as a CSV.” → A clean export formatted for your SMS or email tool. No report-builder gymnastics.
“How did the Summer Launch campaign do? Compare invites to completions.” → The campaign’s funnel, content created, reach, and engagement, summarized.
“What used to take an afternoon of exporting and cross-referencing now takes Q&A with Claude or ChatGPT. With the Roster MCP connected, our whole team can ask for anything related to the brand ambassador program — a month-over-month comparison, what worked last Black Friday — instead of waiting on the one person who knows where the reports live.”
— Caroline Nordmann, Manager of Community & Emerging Sports, VKTRY Gear
Three steps, and you only do this once.
Two things worth knowing before you start:

Those first questions barely scratch the surface. Here’s where ecommerce brands are getting the most value, grouped by the job you’re doing.
The one everyone reaches for first. Instead of assembling a quarterly deck by hand, ask for it:
The questions dashboard filters can’t always answer on their own:
The single highest-frequency ask, minus the report-builder friction:
The MCP server can also read Roster’s help docs, so your assistant can answer product questions in context:
Tip: because this works in any MCP-enabled assistant, you can build these into recurring workflows. A Monday-morning program summary, a monthly commission reconciliation, a per-campaign wrap-up, each rerun with a single prompt.
The Roster MCP Server is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), supported by Claude, ChatGPT, and a growing list of tools. You don’t need to know any of that to use it, but here’s what actually happens when you ask a question.
Your assistant reads your question and picks the matching Roster report, the same one you’d open yourself. It requests that report through the connector, using your read-only, single-brand access. Roster returns the figures exactly as the Brand Dashboard would calculate them, along with the link to the page they came from. Your assistant then writes the answer in whatever shape you asked for, whether that’s a board summary, a ranked list, or a CSV.
The important part is what does not happen. Nothing gets recalculated, estimated, or inferred. The assistant formats the numbers. It never produces them.
Handing an AI assistant access to your program data is a big deal, so we designed this to be conservative by default.
The assistant can read your data, but it can never change anything. No edits, no sends, no tagging, no payments. There is no path for it to write.
This is the part we care about most. The MCP server doesn’t recompute or estimate anything. It reads from the same reports your Brand Dashboard uses. If your assistant says referred revenue was $48,200 this quarter, you can click through and see the same $48,200 in your Sales Attribution report.
Same data, same numbers, verifiable on every answer, so an AI summary never drifts from your source of truth.
Sign-in uses OAuth, the same standard behind “Sign in with Google.” Roster handles the login, and your assistant only ever receives a read-only, single-brand connection. Never your password. You can cut access instantly from either side: remove the connector in your assistant, or revoke it under Brand Dashboard → Integrations → AI Connections.
Ambassador marketing involves a lot of touch points and data points: referral sales, social content, earned media value, campaign funnels, leaderboards, who’s active and who’s gone quiet. Roster already brings ambassadors, affiliates, and creators together in one system, so the data is in one place. What’s changed is how fast you can get an answer out of it.
That speed is what turns a program into a channel you can scale. When the answer takes seconds instead of an afternoon, the same team can run a larger program, and you can put budget behind what’s working while it still matters. It’s the difference between reviewing the channel after the quarter closes and growing it during.
Whether you’re on Shopify, BigCommerce, or WooCommerce, if your ambassador data lives in Roster, it’s now one question away.
The Roster MCP Server is available now for every Roster brand. Head to the setup guide, add it to your assistant, and ask your first question.

Does this cost extra? No. The Roster MCP Server is included for every Roster brand.
Can the AI assistant change anything in my account? No. Access is strictly read-only. It cannot edit records, send messages, tag ambassadors, or issue payments.
Which AI assistants does it work with? Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex, plus any other assistant that supports remote MCP connectors. Setup guides are in our help center.
Where do the numbers come from? The same reports that power your Brand Dashboard. Nothing is recomputed or estimated, and every answer links back to the source page so you can verify it.
How do I turn it off? Remove the connector in your assistant, or revoke access under Brand Dashboard → Integrations → AI Connections. Either side works, and it takes effect immediately.
Does it integrate with Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce stores? Yes. It reads whatever program data is already in your Roster account, regardless of which platform your store runs on.
