Overview
Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any AI assistant to Lead Distro AI and run your account by chatting: check performance, build campaigns, add buyers, and pull reports. Start with the no-install browser path, or use Claude Code. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
You can connect an AI assistant to your Lead Distro AI account and run it by chatting in plain English. Ask how a campaign did last week, create a new campaign, add a buyer, or fix a field mapping, all from a chat window. The assistant uses the same tools the in-app assistant does, and it only ever touches your own organization.
This works through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside apps. You do not need to know what that means to use it. You just pick how you want to connect.
Which setup is right for me?
Not sure where to start? If you just want to chat with your account and you are not a developer, use Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app. It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to download or install.
| If you want to | Use this | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Chat with your account, no coding (easiest) | Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app | No install. Paste one link and click Authorize. See Connect with Claude.ai or Desktop. |
| Install a plugin in your coding agent | The Lead Distro AI plugin (Claude Code, Cursor; Codex soon) | One command, works across agents, with guided recipes built in. See Install the coding-agent plugin. |
| Set up Claude Code by hand | Claude Code, the connector only | For developers who want manual setup. See Connect with Claude Code. |
| Use a script or any other MCP client | An API key | See Connect with an API key. |
Use a coding agent? Install the official Lead Distro AI plugin with one command. It bundles guided recipes for campaign setup, buyer and supplier onboarding, ping-post, reports, and account audits, and connects your account in one step. See Install the coding-agent plugin.
What you can do
Once connected, you ask for things in plain English and the assistant does them. A few examples:
- "How did the Solar campaign do last week?"
- "List my active campaigns and their daily caps."
- "Create a campaign called Auto Accident, add a required phone field, and add Acme as a buyer at $40."
For the full list of what the assistant can read and change, plus how to keep it safe and how to disconnect it, see What it can do & security.
The assistant can never move money. Charging cards, refunds, and invoices are deliberately left out, no matter how you connect.
