Perplexity

Team-wide AdRoll MCP Server access

Solo developers can mess around with local scripts, but real engineering teams need shared context. You drop the MCP configuration into `.vscode/mcp.json` and commit it. Suddenly, every engineer on the project can query marketing data directly from their editor. A junior dev needs to know the format of your retargeting data to fix a bug. They just ask Copilot. The agent runs `list_advertisables` and `list_campaigns` to pull the live structure. Nobody has to bother the marketing team for a CSV export again.

Debug marketing API integrations

Troubleshooting a broken internal dashboard is painful when you cannot see the raw data. Your AI client changes the workflow completely. You highlight the broken parsing function and ask what is going wrong. The agent executes `get_campaign` to fetch the exact record failing in production. It sees that a new field was added to the response payload. It suggests the exact TypeScript interface update needed to fix the issue, saving you an hour of manual debugging.

Prototype custom reporting tools

Product managers always want new ways to slice conversion data. You can prototype these requests instantly. You tell Copilot to draft a script that pulls last month's stats. It formats the JSON criteria and passes it to `get_report` to test the logic. You need to map those stats to specific user groups. The tool calls `list_segments` to grab the active audience IDs. You get a working data extraction script that proves the concept before you spend a week building a full UI.

Setup guide

Set up AdRoll MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the AdRoll MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the AdRoll tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent AdRoll transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adroll-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about AdRoll MCP in VS Code Copilot

Place your server configuration in a `.vscode/mcp.json` file at the root of your repository. When teammates pull the latest branch, their editor automatically picks up the tools.

No. The exposed tools are strictly read-only. Your team can query performance reports and list active creatives, but they cannot accidentally stop a live campaign.

Yes. You must run version 1.96 or higher. Older versions lack the necessary architecture to route tool calls properly through the chat interface.

It pulls real JSON payloads from the API. Copilot reads these live responses and generates perfectly matched TypeScript interfaces for your campaign and ad group objects.

Security is handled through zero-trust ephemeral environments. Your campaign configurations, ad creatives, and conversion numbers pass through a short-lived V8 isolate. Vinkius requires only a single endpoint token, keeping your core infrastructure completely isolated from external LLM providers.
