What to ask after you connect the Hi Energy Claude connector

Start from real affiliate questions

After you install the Hi Energy Claude connector, skip “what tools do you have?” and ask work questions. Claude will select MCP tools such as universal_search, search_advertisers, recommend_report, and search_deals.

Advertiser and opportunity research

Try:

• “Find approved US outdoor apparel advertisers on Impact that we are not joined to.”
• “Which advertiser owns allbirds.com in my account?”
• “Show similar brands to Alo Yoga and note which ones look like opportunities.”
• “Build a shareable advertiser search link for kitchen gadgets in my filters.”

Tools you will often see: search_advertisers, search_advertisers_by_domain, get_similar_advertisers, list_opportunities, build_advertiser_search_links, universal_search.

Deals and promotions

Try:

• “Search current deals for free shipping in home & kitchen.”
• “Summarize exclusive deals for advertiser 12345.”
• “What deal types do we have in the catalog?”

Tools: search_deals, get_deal, list_deal_types.

Contacts and outreach (paid / admin)

Try:

• “Find highly rated affiliate managers for Nike.”
• “List contacts for this advertiser id and draft a short intro email.”
• “Add this partnership@ email on advertiser 12345.”
• “Queue Dex to find more contacts for this brand.”

Tools: search_contacts, get_advertiser_contacts, add_contact_for_advertiser, find_more_contacts. Free connector users will hit the same 403 gate as the app for contact search.

Reports without memorizing names

Try:

• “Recommend a report for advertisers that grew commission month over month.”
• “Get hot advertisers for my publisher.”
• “Show status counts for pending vs approved this week.”

Routing: recommend_report → named report tool or get_report. Do not invent report type strings if the recommender already returned a tool call.

Performance and reconciliation

Try:

• “Search corrected transactions for last month for publisher X.”
• “Explain this transaction id’s status and commission.”
• “Which networks drove the most corrections in the last 14 days?”

Tools: search_transactions, get_transaction, get_clicks. Pair with the product transaction reconciliation article when you need monthly-close context.

Network ops from chat

If you manage publisher credentials:

• “Validate CJ credentials for publisher 42.”
• “What is Impact sync status on this publisher?”
• “Trigger a Rakuten refresh for publisher 42.”

Habits that produce better answers

1. Name the publisher, network, country, or date range the way you would in the UI.
2. For reports, say “recommend a report for…” so Claude hits recommend_report.
3. For brands, prefer domain or advertiser id once you have one.
4. Keep Claude Code on API keys; keep Claude.ai on the connector—see Claude connector vs Claude Code.

Bottom line

The connector is useful when your prompts sound like affiliate work, not like API documentation. Install once, then ask Claude the questions you used to bounce between tabs to answer.
