Overview

length.## What is Adbutler?

Adbutler is an MCP server that lets you manage your entire AdButler account from any AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.). It exposes the full AdButler v2 API — 600+ tools covering advertisers, campaigns, zones, creatives, placements, VAST video, programmatic/RTB, reporting, targeting, drafts, contracts, and product catalogs — plus 9 pre-built workflow prompts for common tasks.

How to use Adbutler?

Two options: hosted (recommended) – configure your MCP client with the URL https://mcp.adbutler.com/mcp (or /sse for legacy) and pass your AdButler API key via an Authorization: Bearer header. Local stdio – run npx -y @adbutler/mcp-server with the environment variable ADBUTLER_API_KEY set in your client‘s MCP config. No API key? The hosted server guides you through a free trial signup.

FAQ from Adbutler

What authentication is needed?

You need an AdButler API key from the dashboard (Settings → API Keys). For hosted use, pass it via an Authorization: Bearer header or configure it inside the chat using the setup_api_key tool. For local installs, set the ADBUTLER_API_KEY environment variable.

Can I try Adbutler without an existing account?

Yes. Connect to the hosted MCP without authentication and the AI will guide you through a free trial signup, using create_trial_account and verify_trial_email tools.

Does the hosted server collect my data?

Only anonymous usage analytics: tool name, account ID, key fingerprint, transport type, call duration, and error details. Tool arguments, response bodies, and raw API keys are never collected. The npm/self-hosted version collects nothing.
