Autonomous Criteo Campaign Management in Windsurf

Cascade thrives when it has full context. Give it a goal like pausing underperforming ads, and it fires off `list_retail_campaigns` followed by `get_retail_media_report` without asking for permission. This MCP Server turns your IDE into a dedicated media buyer. You do not have to prompt every single step anymore. Tell the agent to find specific campaigns using `search_retail_campaigns_by_name` and adjust their budgets via `list_retail_budgets`. Windsurf chains those operations together and shows you the final result right in your editor.

Map Keywords to Retail Products

Finding out which search terms drive product sales usually means exporting CSVs. Now you just ask your AI client to cross-reference `list_line_item_keywords` with `list_account_products`. The agent does the heavy lifting instantly. Retailers manage thousands of SKUs across different ad groups. Calling `list_line_items` alongside `list_advertiser_accounts` lets Cascade audit your entire account structure. It spots missing keywords and tells you exactly where the gaps are.

Pull Ad Performance Reports On Demand

Nobody likes navigating clunky ad dashboards just to check yesterday's spend. Triggering `get_retail_media_report` pulls the exact metrics you need directly into your workspace. Your agent formats the raw data into a readable summary. Digging deeper into specific setups takes seconds. Running `get_retail_campaign_details` gives you the granular settings, while `list_retailers` confirms which partners are active. You get the full picture without ever opening a browser tab.

Yes. The agent calls the reporting endpoints autonomously. Tell it to analyze last week's spend, and it pulls the data right into your chat window.

Your AI client executes a targeted search using specific name keywords. It returns a filtered list of matching campaigns instead of dumping the entire account history. This saves context window space for actual analysis.

The tools handle multiple accounts perfectly. Running the advertiser list endpoint shows every connected profile. Cascade can then loop through them to check budgets or line items across your entire portfolio.

Vinkius runs this connection inside an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your campaign budgets, keyword lists, and product performance metrics never leak into shared environments. The session dies the moment your agent finishes its task.
