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

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 preview-to-execute 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.

5 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 28 parent tools and 270+ actions, consolidated into 6 core Agent Skills to keep context usage clean.

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

• campaign — Create, update, 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.

• 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.

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 explicit confirmation. No campaign goes live by accident.

• Dry-run mode on all deployment actions — preview before you push

• 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
