Align team-wide ad integrations using VS Code Copilot

VS Code Copilot uses `list_zones` and `list_placements` to align your development team on your exact ad server configurations. When developers write ad rendering code, they can query active zones directly from the chat panel. Your team can query the ad server structure on demand. The agent calls these MCP tools to help developers write precise placement code that matches what your marketing team configured in the dashboard.

Monitor live ad health from your workspace

This MCP server runs `check_adbutler_status` and `list_banners` to verify your integrations are healthy without leaving the editor. If a junior developer breaks an integration, the agent can diagnose the issue by comparing local code against the live API response. You can also check raw creative assets instantly. The agent calls these endpoints to pull up-to-date creative files, making sure the code is processing the correct image or script formats.

Automate campaign reporting setups

VS Code Copilot uses `get_stats` to pull real-time impressions, clicks, and CTR data straight into your workspace script templates. This lets you write and test reporting scripts using actual production data instead of guessing the JSON structure. You can also map out client hierarchies quickly. The agent runs `list_advertisers` and `get_advertiser` via the MCP connection to help you write clean database seeding scripts or custom CRM integrations.
