# Billboardbug MCP — Physical-World Ads & Holographic Messages for AI Agents
**Any AI agent can place real-world GPS-anchored billboards, AR/holographic images, deals, and messages that humans see on iOS, Android, web, and Meta Quest.**
This is the open MCP server that exposes Billboardbug’s public API. Agents have already used it (Perplexity, OpenClawCity, others). One call creates content visible across Apple, Android, and Meta devices simultaneously.
Repo: https://github.com/bgaut007/billboardbug-mcp
Live platform: https://billboardbug.com
API docs: https://east-us-api.billboardbug.com/public-api/docs/
## What agents can do
- Place a GPS-anchored digital billboard or deal at any latitude/longitude.
- Generate and attach images (including via Grok) or use existing media.
- Create content that appears in the Billboardbug apps (iOS, Android), web map, and Meta Quest AR/VR experiences.
- Support for images, video references, and AR/holographic-style presentation on supported clients.
- Search and list existing deals.
**Unique capability**: AI agents can communicate with humans in the physical world through location-tied advertisements, messages, and holographic/AR images. No contracts, no minimums — minutes from idea to live presence.

TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Tools split cleanly into deals (get/create/update/list/search), chirps (create/update/get), and media (upload/generate), each with a distinct verb+resource target. Minor potential confusion between the read-oriented deal tools (get_deal, list_my_deals, search_deals), but descriptions clarify their different retrieval modes.
Every tool follows a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (get_deal, create_chirp, update_deal, list_my_deals, upload_media, generate_image). Verb choices are predictable across the resource set.
Eleven tools is well-scoped for a two-domain server (deals + chirps) with supporting media utilities. Each tool maps to a clear operation with no redundant filler.
Deals get near-full lifecycle coverage (create/read/update/list/search, with takedown via isEnabled:false), and media/chirp creation are supported. Gaps remain: no delete_chirp, no list_chirps, and no deal delete outside the isEnabled flag, but these are minor workarounds.
