OrbiAds — Google Ad Manager MCP Server

English · Français

Hosted MCP for AI agents, plus a Python CLI for terminal and CI workflows.

OrbiAds is a hosted Google Ad Manager MCP server that gives AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex — direct, natural-language access to Google Ad Manager. It covers 270+ operations across campaigns, orders, line items, creatives, inventory, targeting, and reporting, on the current GAM API (v202605), with OAuth and confirm-before-write guardrails.

Two Ways to Connect

OrbiAds offers two integration methods — choose the one that fits your workflow.

Option A: MCP Server (AI agents)

Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) to GAM via the hosted MCP endpoint. Conversational, guided, zero-install.

MCP endpoint: https://orbiads.com/mcp

Option B: CLI (terminal & scripts)

A lightweight Python CLI for developers, CI/CD pipelines, and headless automation. Same API, same credits, same guardrails.

pip install orbiads-cli
orbiads auth login
orbiads network info

> [!IMPORTANT]

> Windows/macOS/Linux PATH Warning: If you install the CLI via `pip` (especially with `--user`), ensure the Python scripts directory is added to your user `PATH`. Without this, your terminal and local AI agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini) will fail to find or execute the `orbiads` command. See the Troubleshooting section in the CLI Guide for quick setup commands.

Comparison

> Both methods share the same backend, credits, and safety guardrails.

Installation Guide

OrbiAds offers three integration pathways depending on your environment.

1. Zero-Install MCP Server (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude Desktop)

Connect your AI assistant to our hosted server using the Model Context Protocol:

• Claude Desktop: Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

{
    "mcpServers": {
      "orbiads": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://orbiads.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }

• Gemini / AI Studio: Go to Tools → MCP configuration → Add `https://orbiads.com/mcp`
• ChatGPT: Go to Settings → Connectors → Add connector → MCP URL: `https://orbiads.com/mcp`
• GLAMA / MCP Registry: Access, test, and connect the server directly in your browser via glama.ai/mcp/servers/OrbiAds/Orbiads-GAM-MCP
• Other environments (Cursor, Codex, Warp): Add the `https://orbiads.com/mcp` endpoint to your configuration and copy `AGENTS.md` to your project root.

2. Claude Code Plugin (Slash Commands)

Add the `/adops` command set directly into your Claude Code CLI terminal:

claude plugin install orbiads

3. Agent Skills (Structured Workflows)

Install our markdown-based guidelines permanently into Claude Code's memory:

1. Clone this repository locally.

2. Run the skill installer:

./install.sh skills --copy

This copies our 6 consolidated skill files to your `~/.claude/skills/` directory. Claude Code will automatically leverage them to prevent hallucinations and strictly apply the plan-before-mutate workflow.

What is OrbiAds?

OrbiAds is a hosted MCP server that connects your AI assistant directly to Google Ad Manager (GAM). Instead of clicking through the GAM interface or writing API scripts, you describe what you want in plain language — OrbiAds handles the API calls, guardrails, and audit trail.

You: "Check inventory availability on the homepage banner for a 300x250 in France next week"
OrbiAds: [runs forecast] → Available: 1.2M impressions. Pressure: low. Safe to traffic.

You: "Create the line item for Renault, €15 CPM, Monday to Friday"
OrbiAds: [applies guardrails] → Preview ready. Confirm to push?

No scripts. No API tokens to manage. No switching tabs.

Who is this for?

• AdOps managers who traffic campaigns daily and want to move faster without making mistakes
• Publishers who manage their own GAM network and want AI-assisted workflows
• Media agencies running multiple GAM accounts who want a consistent, auditable process
• Developers building AdOps automation on top of Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini

Supported AI Platforms

All platforms connect to the same hosted MCP endpoint at `https://orbiads.com/mcp`.

7 Slash Commands

After installing the plugin, these `/adops` commands are available directly in Claude Code.

What's Inside (MCP Tools & Skills)

The OrbiAds surface maps the Google Ad Manager API into parent tools and hundreds of actions, organized into 6 core domain Agent Skills plus an orchestrator, to keep context usage clean. See `docs/tool-matrix/README.md` for the live generated tool and action counts.

Click on any domain below to see which tools and capabilities are included:

1. Campaigns & Creative QA (orbiads-campaigns)

• `campaign` — Read live campaign state, plan deployment, dry-run, deploy, pause, and rollback campaigns.
• `orders` — Create and list orders, contacts, and roles.
• `line_items` — Define line item delivery rules, CPMs, and targeting logic.
• `creatives` — Upload creatives (images, HTML5, video/audio) and configure native styles.
• `creative_assets` — Manage associated image and file assets.
• `creative_qa` — Audit click-trackers, perform compliance scans, and validate SSL certificates.
• `creative_wrapper_skill` — Manage third-party wrappers and delivery presets.
• `formats` — Discover and configure ad creative formats.
• `jobs` & `gam_jobs` — Monitor async campaign compilation and deployment workflows.

2. Inventory & Targeting (orbiads-inventory)

• `inventory` — Retrieve ad unit trees, sizes, and generate ads.json manifests.
• `placements` — Create, update, and list ad placement groups.
• `targeting` — Manage custom targeting keys/values, countries, and categories.
• `audiences` — Retrieve and modify first-party audience segments.
• `blueprint` — Generate and push structured network inventory blueprints.

3. Reporting & Forecasting (orbiads-reporting)

• `network` — List accessible networks and switch active network context.
• `settings` — Configure default CPMs, pacing, and brand naming templates.
• `tenant_catalog` — Access tenant-specific catalogs.

6. Audits & Billing (orbiads-audit)

• `billing` — Fetch credit balances and transaction histories.
• `audit` — Search network audit logs.

> See `docs/tool-matrix/README.md` for the complete parity matrix detailing exact costs, writes, and parameters for all 270+ actions.

Safety by Design

Every write action requires an explicit `ExecutionPlan` preview and confirmation token. No campaign goes live by accident.

• Plan-before-mutate on campaign, deal, and product writes — preview the signed `ExecutionPlan` before you push
• Dry-run mode on all deployment actions — `confirmationToken` TTL 300 seconds
• Forecast gate before inventory commits — availability verified upfront
• Audit trail on every action — who did what, when, with what result
• Credit guard — read operations are always free, writes deduct credits transparently
