Query live publisher lists in VS Code Copilot

The `list_publishers` tool retrieves your complete network of active publishers directly inside your editor chat. Your agent uses this live inventory context to help you write precise API integration scripts. This eliminates guess-and-test cycles. You can instantly verify publisher IDs without opening the AdButler admin UI, speeding up how your team builds custom publisher portals.

Verify active ad placements and zones

The `list_zones` tool requires a publisher ID to fetch all active placements directly into your workspace. Your agent checks these zones to ensure your frontend rendering logic matches your actual ad server configurations. By using this tool, you can build layout tests that validate ad placements against live production zones. Your team can run these checks directly inside the editor before committing code.

Track ad performance metrics via MCP Server

The `get_performance_report` tool pulls aggregated impressions, clicks, and CTR data straight into your terminal or chat window. Your agent analyzes these live metrics to help you write automated alerting scripts. You don't need to write custom boilerplate to test your reporting endpoints. The agent handles the queries through the protocol, letting you focus on the logic that processes the performance data.
