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.

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

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
