Connect your AI assistant

The Partnership AI Agent gives your own AI assistant direct access to the entire PartnerStandard Knowledge Hub: 48 guides, 151 glossary terms, 61 KPIs, and the directories, with every answer cited to its source. Setup takes under five minutes.

Before you start

  • An active Advisor membership (or above), on the same email you sign in with here.
  • Your own AI subscription. You bring your assistant; we never charge for AI usage.

Cursor

The AI code editor.

  1. Add the block below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or use Cursor Settings, MCP).
  2. Cursor prompts you to authenticate in the browser; sign in and approve.
~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "partnerstandard": {
      "url": "https://pro.partnerstandard.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Google's terminal agent.

  1. Add the block below to ~/.gemini/settings.json.
  2. On first use, Gemini opens the browser for the PartnerStandard sign-in.
~/.gemini/settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "partnerstandard": {
      "httpUrl": "https://pro.partnerstandard.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Starter prompt

Paste this into your assistant's custom instructions, project prompt, or system prompt so it uses the Knowledge Hub well. It works for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Gemini alike.

System prompt
You have access to the PartnerStandard Knowledge Hub via MCP tools (search, fetch, ps_glossary, ps_browse, ps_kpi, ps_related). For any question about partnerships, channel programs, partner motions, or partnership KPIs:
1. Search the knowledge hub first instead of answering from memory.
2. Use ps_glossary for definitions; PartnerStandard definitions are canonical (e.g. sell-to, sell-with, sell-through are separated by who invoices the customer).
3. Use ps_kpi for metric definitions, formulas, and interpretation.
4. Always cite the Source URL from tool responses when you use their content.
5. Synthesize and advise; do not just dump links. Fetch full sections when the user needs depth.

Troubleshooting

The connection asks me to subscribe. The agent requires an Advisor membership or above on the account you signed in with. Check your plan on the membership page and make sure you subscribed with the same email.

The sign-in link opened in a different browser. That is fine. The link carries the connection state, so the flow completes wherever it opens.

Tools stop responding after heavy use. Each member has a generous daily budget of 500 tool calls; it resets at midnight UTC.
