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/mcpOption 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 infoWindows/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
Criteria | MCP Server | CLI |
Interface | AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) | Terminal / command line |
Installation | URL to paste into agent settings |
|
Authentication | OAuth via browser (automatic) | OAuth Device Flow (code displayed) |
Best for | Exploration, conversations, guided workflows | Scripts, CI/CD, headless automation |
Output format | Natural language via the agent | JSON or structured table |
Credits | Same consumption grid | Same consumption grid |
Offline | No — requires internet | No — requires internet |
Python required | No | Yes (3.10+) |
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/mcpChatGPT: Go to Settings → Connectors → Add connector → MCP URL:
https://orbiads.com/mcpGLAMA / 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/mcpendpoint to your configuration and copyAGENTS.mdto your project root.
2. Claude Code Plugin (Slash Commands)
Add the /adops command set directly into your Claude Code CLI terminal:
claude plugin install orbiads3. Agent Skills (Structured Workflows)
Install our markdown-based guidelines permanently into Claude Code's memory:
Clone this repository locally.
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

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:
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.

See
docs/tool-matrix/README.mdfor 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
ExecutionPlanbefore you pushDry-run mode on all deployment actions —
confirmationTokenTTL 300 secondsForecast 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
