Orbiads GAM MCP — Google Ad Manager for AI Agents

Hosted MCP server with 200+ tools for Google Ad Manager. Manage campaigns, line items, creatives, inventory, and reporting from any MCP-compatible AI agent. OAuth on-behalf-of-user — your agent acts as you with the permissions you grant.

What It Does for Operators

  • Campaign Management — Create, update, pause, and archive GAM campaigns from natural language
  • Line Items — Full line item lifecycle: create, target, traffic, and optimize
  • Creatives — Upload and manage image, video, HTML5, and native ad creatives
  • Interactive Reporting — Ask questions about performance in natural language, get formatted reports
  • Inventory Exploration — Search ad units, placements, and inventory availability
  • Ad-Ops Compliance — Audit campaigns against best practices (frequency caps, competitive exclusions, viewability thresholds)
  • Forecast — Delivery forecasts, inventory availability predictions

Installation

This is a hosted MCP server — no local installation required. Connect via Streamable HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orbiads-gam": {
      "url": "https://api.orbiads.com/mcp/gam",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

First-time connection opens a browser for Google OAuth — authorize once, and the agent reuses credentials for future sessions.

Operator Use Cases

  1. Ad Operations Teams — Manage GAM campaigns from Claude/Cursor instead of the GAM dashboard. "Pause all underdelivering line items from yesterday" becomes one prompt.

  2. Media Buyers — Pull inventory availability data directly into AI research workflows. Compare CPMs across placements without manual exports.

  3. Compliance Auditors — Run automated audits against GAM setups. Flag missing frequency caps, broken competitive exclusions, and below-threshold viewability.

  4. Reporting Automation — "Send me a report of top-performing line items by revenue, last 7 days" — get formatted reports without building GAM queries.

Pricing

  • Free tier: 5 credits (1 credit ≈ 1 tool call)

CorpusIQ Angle

First Google Ad Manager MCP server — fills a gap in the marketing/adtech MCP ecosystem. Operators running ad operations alongside their business can now manage GAM from AI agents. Complementary to CorpusIQ's analytics connectors — GAM performance data alongside GA4, Stripe, and QuickBooks in one AI conversation.

Limitations

  • Hosted only — no self-hosted option (vendor dependency)
  • OAuth requires a Google Ad Manager account with appropriate permissions
  • New project (3⭐). API stability and uptime not guaranteed.
  • GAM API v202602 — requires up-to-date GAM network
