AuditSocials Glossary MCP — 212 Advertising & Platform‑Policy Terms for AI
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants an authoritative, openly‑licensed glossary of social media advertising & platform‑policy terminology — 212 terms (CC BY 4.0) covering platform policy, legal & regulatory frameworks (DSA, GDPR, FTC), ad‑tech metrics, content & creative standards, privacy & data, industry‑specific rules, and enforcement & risk.
Let AI assistants define and search advertising‑compliance terms accurately, with source attribution and a persistent URI on every response — instead of hallucinating definitions for regulatory and platform‑policy jargon.
📚 212 curated terms across 8 categories — platform policy, legal/regulatory, ad‑tech, content standards, privacy, industry rules, enforcement & risk.
🔗 Cited & persistent — every definition carries a source URL and a stable
w3id.orgURI; the dataset has a Zenodo DOI.🆓 No API key, no config — the glossary is bundled and read‑only; just
npx.🤖 Grounding for RAG & agents — reduce hallucination on DSA/GDPR/FTC and platform‑policy terminology.
Scope: glossary only. The AuditSocials policy tracker, enforcement intelligence and scanner are not exposed through this server. For live pre‑publish policy checks, see the companion AuditSocials Compliance MCP.

Usage — just ask your assistant

"Search the AuditSocials glossary for DSA terms."
"What categories are in the AuditSocials advertising‑compliance glossary?"
"Define shadow ban and list related terms."
Each answer includes the definition, category, applicable platforms, related terms, a source URL and a persistent URI — so your assistant cites rather than guesses.

FAQ
What is the AuditSocials Glossary MCP? An MCP server that lets AI assistants define and search 212 openly‑licensed social‑media advertising and platform‑policy terms, with source attribution on every response.
Do I need an API key?
No. The glossary is bundled and read‑only — just run npx -y auditsocials-mcp.
Why use it instead of asking the model directly? Regulatory and platform‑policy terminology (DSA, GDPR, FTC, demonetization, shadow bans) is easy to get subtly wrong. This grounds answers in a curated, cited dataset with persistent URIs — ideal for RAG and agents.
Can I use the definitions in my own product? Yes, under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to AuditSocials (link the source URL or DOI).
Which MCP clients work? Any stdio MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed and others.

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct and non-overlapping purpose: define a specific term, search by keyword, and list categories. There is no ambiguity about which tool to use for a given task.
All tools follow the consistent pattern 'glossary_<verb>_<noun>' (glossary_define, glossary_search, glossary_list_categories). The naming is predictable and clearly conveys the action and resource.
Three tools is a reasonable number for a focused glossary server. It covers the core operations without being too sparse, though a few more tools (e.g., list all terms) could be added without causing bloat.
The tool surface covers the essential workflows: discovering terms (search and categories) and retrieving detailed definitions. A minor gap is the lack of a tool to list all terms directly, but the search and category tools adequately enable discovery.
