Headless campaign auditing with Claude Code

Pipe the output of `list_campaigns` and `list_flights` directly into your CI/CD logs. Claude Code runs this in the background to verify account health. It’s perfect for cron jobs that need to check if a specific flight is running. You get the data in plain text without ever opening a browser.

Automate creative validation in the terminal

Use `list_creatives` to pull asset lists and verify them against your local repo. Claude Code compares the API response to your local config files automatically. This keeps your codebase in sync with what's actually uploaded. It eliminates the gap between your local environment and the live ad server.

Instant inventory lookups for CLI workflows

Need to know if a zone is active? Run a command through Claude Code that triggers `get_campaign` and `list_zones`. It returns the exact status you need. It makes your terminal the central hub for ad operations. You don't need a UI to manage your inventory anymore.
