Audit campaign performance inside Claude Desktop

Your agent uses `get_stats` to pull down real-time performance numbers, saving you from jumping back and forth between browser tabs. Stop guessing which ads are hitting their targets and verify the metrics instantly. You can also run a quick inventory check. Your agent runs `list_campaigns` and `list_banners` to verify which creatives are active in each group. It is the fastest way to spot paused creatives or empty campaigns without loading the heavy dashboard, using this lightweight MCP setup.

Map out your ad zones and placements

This MCP server lets you query your entire ad inventory structure using `list_zones` and `list_placements` right from your chat prompt. Stop digging through complex publisher layouts to find where your ads are set to appear. This setup helps you diagnose delivery issues on the fly. If a banner is not showing up, your agent can cross-reference the active zones and pinpoint the exact placement mismatch in seconds.

Verify advertiser and publisher status

Your agent relies on `list_advertisers` and `list_publishers` to sort out your external partners without digging through spreadsheets. Pull up-to-date contact and configuration records right inside your conversation. Before you start drafting any new copy or client reports, make sure your connection is solid. Running `check_adbutler_status` ensures your API token is active and ready to pull advertiser details via `get_advertiser` without any hand-waving.
