Audit campaigns inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your dashboard and your AI agent. This MCP server lets you run `list_campaigns` and `list_flights` to see exactly what is live right now. You'll get accurate, up-to-date data returned straight into your conversation. It's built for quick checks when you need to verify if a specific flight is active.

Inspect creatives with Claude Desktop

Need to confirm which assets are live? Use `list_creatives` to pull the full list of assets associated with your account. Once you have the list, you can use `get_campaign` to connect those assets back to their parent campaigns. It turns a manual search into a single prompt.

Map inventory zones for Claude Desktop

Understand your site layout by calling `list_sites` and `list_zones`. It gives you the full structure of your ad inventory without needing a database export. You can then use `list_ad_types` to see which formats are supported. Everything stays within your session for faster planning.
