What it is
The Point Hacks MCP App helps you discover and compare Australian credit card and frequent flyer offers published on Point Hacks.
It works with MCP-compatible clients such as ChatGPT (Apps / Developer Mode) and Claude (custom connector or Connectors Directory). Some tools open interactive UI views inside the chat; others return structured offer data the assistant can summarise.
Point Hacks Australia Pty Ltd is an editorial comparison publisher, not a credit provider. Content is for information only and is not personal financial advice. Outbound links go to Point Hacks card guides on www.pointhacks.com.au.
Connect the app
No account or login is required. The MCP server is public and read-only.
| Client | How to connect |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Apps / Connectors settings → Create app → URL https://mcp-app.pointhacks.com/mcp |
| Claude | Connector settings → Add custom connector → URL https://mcp-app.pointhacks.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) |
Once connected, ask about Australian credit cards, frequent flyer points, or specific Point Hacks offers — the assistant can call the tools below when relevant.
Tools
All tools are read-only, non-destructive, and open to the public catalog (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true).
| Tool | Title | UI | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
credit-card-finder | Compare Australian credit cards | Yes | Opens an interactive card finder with filters (rewards program, sign-up bonus, annual fee, perks, income) and estimated points. Browse one card at a time. |
list-credit-card-previews | List Australian credit card offers | No | Returns a JSON catalog of current offers with title, bonus, fee, guide slug, and guide URL. |
credit-card-preview | Credit card offer details | Yes | Shows a detailed preview for one card (bonus, fee, min spend, earn rates, guide and apply links). Requires an exact guide slug from the list tool. |
Typical flow
- Compare broadly with
credit-card-finder, or list offers withlist-credit-card-previews. - When you want detail on one card, call
credit-card-previewwith the exactslugfrom the list (e.g.westpac-altitude-black-qantas-guide). - Open the card guide on www.pointhacks.com.au for editorial detail and apply information.
Do not invent guide slugs from card names — use list-credit-card-previews first.
Example prompts
Card finder (interactive comparison)
- “Help me compare Australian credit cards for Qantas Points.”
- “Show me credit cards with Velocity Points and a low annual fee.”
- “What frequent flyer credit cards does Point Hacks recommend comparing right now?”
Offer catalog (list tool)
- “What credit card offers does Point Hacks have right now?”
- “List Australian credit cards with their guide links and sign-up bonuses.”
Single-card preview
- “Show me the Westpac Altitude Qantas Black offer.” (after listing, or using a known slug)
- “Open the Point Hacks guide preview for the ANZ Frequent Flyer Black.”
Guide intent (after a preview)
- “Open the Point Hacks guide for that card.” — the assistant should provide the tracked `guideUrl` from the tool output.
Limitations
Please keep these boundaries in mind:
| Limitation | Detail |
|---|---|
| Australia-focused | Offer catalog covers Australian credit cards and frequent flyer products published by Point Hacks. |
| Not financial advice | Editorial comparison only. Eligibility, approval, and product terms are determined by the issuer. |
| Guide links only | The app links to Point Hacks card guides on www.pointhacks.com.au. It does not provide direct issuer apply links in the connector. |
| No user accounts | No Point Hacks login; the connector does not access ChatGPT/Claude conversation history beyond the tool call. |
| Active offers only | Tools return currently published, in-date offers. Expired or unpublished offers are omitted. |
| Slug accuracy | credit-card-preview requires an exact guide slug from list-credit-card-previews. Guessed slugs return found: false. |
| Catalog freshness | List and preview tools fetch live catalog data per request. The finder UI may use a short-lived session cache for performance. |
| Attribution | Card guide URLs may include standard attribution parameters. |
| Off-topic requests | Booking flights, banking transfers, or non–credit-card tasks are outside this app’s tools. |
