How to Use the AdButler MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can Claude Code export AdButler stats to a file?

Yes. You can instruct the CLI to fetch the numbers using getstats and write the output directly to a local text file or pipe it into jq for further processing.

Pipe your ad server metrics directly into Claude Code to automate reporting scripts and monitor campaigns from the terminal.

Perplexity

Monitor ad performance with Claude Code.

Checking ad stats shouldn't require logging into a sluggish web portal. You can run a quick terminal command to have your agent pull yesterday's metrics. The system triggers `list_campaigns` to find active IDs, then loops through `get_stats` for each one. This MCP Server lets you dump the results straight into a local CSV or pipe them to another script.

Audit publisher zones in CI/CD pipelines.

Broken ad zones cost money. You can integrate this MCP tool into a GitHub Action that runs every night to verify your inventory structure. The headless client executes `check_adbutler_status` to ensure uptime, then runs `list_publishers` and `list_zones`. If it detects missing configurations, it exits with a non-zero status code and fails the build.

Extract campaign creatives programmatically.

Migrating assets or generating compliance reports is tedious work. Your terminal agent handles the heavy lifting by scraping the setup automatically. It uses `get_campaign` to isolate the target, then calls `list_banners` to grab the creative URLs. You get a clean JSON output of all active media assets without leaving your SSH session.

Setup guide

Common questions about AdButler MCP in Claude Code

Run the claude mcp add command with the HTTP transport flag and your Vinkius URL. Make sure all flags precede the server name. Verify the connection by listing your active tools.

Yes. You can instruct the CLI to fetch the numbers using `get_stats` and write the output directly to a local text file or pipe it into jq for further processing.

Authentication is the usual culprit. Have your script trigger `check_adbutler_status` before attempting to pull the list. If that fails, check your environment variables.

It works perfectly. You just need to pass the Vinkius endpoint token into the container at runtime. The agent will discover the tools and execute the commands without any graphical interface.

We handle authentication via a single endpoint token while keeping the execution environment ephemeral. Banner URLs, impression counts, and publisher lists are processed in an isolated MCP sandbox. Vinkius retains zero logs of your terminal queries.
