Want details?" User: "Create campaign with Product 1, $10k budget, target CTOs" Agent: [Creates campaign] "Campaign live! ID: mb_abc123" ``` **Performance optimization:** ``` User: "How are my video ads performing?" Agent: [Shows metrics] "Package A: 2.3% CTR, Package B: 0.8% CTR" User: "Move $5k from B to A" Agent: [Reallocates] "Budget updated. Package A now $15k" ``` **Multi-channel campaign:** ``` User: "Launch omnichannel campaign: display in CA, video in NYC, $50k total" Agent: [Creates packages] "3 packages created across display and video" ``` ## How It Works ### Natural Language Understanding Speak naturally. The skill understands: - **Budgets**: "$5000", "five thousand dollars", "5k budget" - **Locations**: "California", "major US cities", "New York and LA" - **Audiences**: "tech professionals", "age 25-45", "high income" - **Goals**: "brand awareness", "drive conversions", "increase sales" ### Progressive Workflow **1. Discovery Phase** ``` "Find video advertising for luxury brands" ``` ↓ Agent searches inventory ↓ Shows matched products with pricing ↓ Explains targeting and formats **2. Campaign Creation** ``` "Create campaign with Product 1, $25k, target professionals" ``` ↓ Agent creates media buy ↓ Sets up targeting overlay ↓ Returns campaign ID and status **3. Creative Management** ``` "Upload my banner ads" ``` ↓ Agent syncs creatives ↓ Assigns to campaign ↓ Returns creative IDs **4. Monitoring & Optimization** ``` "Show performance" ``` ↓ Agent fetches delivery data ↓ Shows metrics by package/creative ↓ Suggests optimizations ## Core Operations ### Create Campaign ```javascript const campaign = await testAgent.createMediaBuy({ buyer_ref: 'campaign-2026-q1', brand_manifest: { url: 'https://acme.com' }, packages: [{ product_id: 'premium_display', budget: 10000 }] }); ``` ### Upload Creatives ```javascript await testAgent.syncCreatives({ creatives: [{ buyer_ref: 'banner-300x250', url: 'https://cdn.acme.com/banner.jpg' }] }); ``` ### Monitor Performance ```javascript const delivery = await testAgent.getMediaBuyDelivery({ media_buy_id: 'mb_abc123' }); console.log(`CTR: ${delivery.totals.ctr}%, Spend: $${delivery.totals.spend}`); ``` See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for complete API docs and [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for detailed workflows. ## Core Concepts ### The 8 Media Buy Tasks AdCP provides 8 standardized tasks for the complete advertising lifecycle. Learn more in the [Media Buy Protocol documentation](https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/media-buy/). 1. **get_adcp_capabilities** - Discover agent features and portfolio (~1s) 2. **get_products** - Find inventory using natural language (~60s) 3. **list_creative_formats** - View creative specifications (~1s) 4. **create_media_buy** - Launch campaigns (minutes-days, may require approval) 5. **update_media_buy** - Modify campaigns (minutes-days) 6. **sync_creatives** - Upload creative assets (minutes-days) 7. **list_creatives** - Query creative library (~1s) 8. **get_media_buy_delivery** - Track performance (~60s) **Complete task reference**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/media-buy/task-reference/ ### Brand Manifest Brand context can be provided two ways: **URL reference** (recommended - agent fetches brand info): ```json { "brand_manifest": { "url": "https://brand.com" } } ``` **Inline manifest** (full brand details): ```json { "brand_manifest": { "name": "Brand Name", "url": "https://brand.com", "tagline": "Brand tagline", "colors": { "primary": "#FF0000" }, "logo": { "url": "https://cdn.brand.com/logo.png" } } } ``` ### Pricing Models Products support various pricing models: - **CPM** (Cost Per Mille/Thousand) - Fixed price per 1000 impressions - **CPM-Auction** - Bid-based pricing for impressions - **CPCV** (Cost Per Completed View) - Video completions - **Flat-Fee** - Fixed campaign cost - **CPP** (Cost Per Point) - Percentage of audience reached For auction pricing, include `bid_price` in your package. ### Asynchronous Operations AdCP is **not a real-time protocol**. Operations may take: - **~1 second** - Simple lookups (formats, creative lists) - **~60 seconds** - AI/inference operations (product discovery) - **Minutes to days** - Operations requiring human approval (campaign creation) Always check the `status` field in responses: - `completed` - Operation finished successfully - `pending` - Awaiting approval or processing - `failed` - Operation failed (check error details) ### Targeting Capabilities Apply targeting overlays to campaigns: ```javascript { targeting_overlay: { geo: { included: ['US-CA', 'US-NY'], // DMA codes or regions excluded: ['US-TX'] }, demographics: { age_ranges: [{ min: 25, max: 44 }], genders: ['M', 'F'] }, behavioral: { interests: ['technology', 'gaming'], purchase_intent: ['consumer_electronics'] }, contextual: { keywords: ['innovation', 'design'], categories: ['IAB19'] // Technology & Computing } } } ``` ## Common Workflows ### Workflow 1: Campaign Discovery to Launch ```javascript // 1. Discover capabilities const caps = await agent.getAdcpCapabilities({}); // 2. Find products const products = await agent.getProducts({ brief: 'Q1 2026 brand awareness campaign for tech startup', brand_manifest: { url: 'https://startup.com' }, filters: { channels: ['display', 'video'] } }); // 3. Check creative formats const formats = await agent.listCreativeFormats({ format_types: ['display', 'video'] }); // 4. Create campaign const campaign = await agent.createMediaBuy({ buyer_ref: 'q1-2026-awareness', brand_manifest: { url: 'https://startup.com' }, packages: [ { buyer_ref: 'pkg-001', product_id: products.products[0].product_id, pricing_option_id: 'cpm-standard', budget: 15000 } ], start_time: { type: 'asap' }, end_time: '2026-03-31T23:59:59Z' }); // 5. Upload creatives await agent.syncCreatives({ creatives: [...], // Your creative assets assignments: { 'creative_001': ['pkg-001'] } }); // 6. Monitor performance const delivery = await agent.getMediaBuyDelivery({ media_buy_id: campaign.media_buy_id }); ``` ### Workflow 2: Update Running Campaign ```javascript // Pause, adjust budget, and resume campaign await agent.updateMediaBuy({ media_buy_id: 'mb_abc123', updates: { status: 'paused', budget_change: 5000, // Add $5000 end_time: '2026-04-30T23:59:59Z' } }); // Resume after adjustments await agent.updateMediaBuy({ media_buy_id: 'mb_abc123', updates: { status: 'active' } }); ``` **More workflow examples**: See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for complete campaign scenarios including creative management, multi-channel campaigns, and optimization workflows. ## Test Agent For development and testing, use the public test agent: **Agent URL**: `https://test-agent.adcontextprotocol.org/mcp` **Auth Token**: [REDACTED_SECRET] ```javascript import { testAgent } from '@adcp/client/testing'; // No authentication needed for test agent const result = await testAgent.getProducts({ brief: 'Test campaign', brand_manifest: { url: 'https://example.com' } }); ``` Interactive testing available at: **[testing.adcontextprotocol.org](https://testing.adcontextprotocol.org)** ## Error Handling Common error patterns: **400 Bad Request** - Invalid parameters: ```json { "error": { "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR", "message": "budget must be greater than 0", "field": "packages[0].budget" } } ``` **401 Unauthorized** - Missing or invalid auth: ```json { "error": { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED", "message": "Invalid authentication token" } } ``` **404 Not Found** - Invalid ID reference: ```json { "error": { "code": "NOT_FOUND", "message": "Product not found", "resource": "product_id: premium_video_30s" } } ``` Always check for errors before processing responses: ```javascript if (result.error) { console.error(`Error: ${result.error.message}`); return; } ``` ## Best Practices ### 1. Always Start with Capabilities Call `get_adcp_capabilities` first to understand what the agent supports before making other requests. ### 2. Use Clear Buyer References Use descriptive `buyer_ref` values for tracking: - Good: `'campaign-2026-q1-tech-launch'` - Avoid: `'c1'`, `'test'`, `'abc'` ### 3. Handle Async Operations Check `status` field and implement polling for pending operations: ```javascript let status = 'pending'; while (status === 'pending') { await sleep(5000); // Wait 5 seconds const update = await agent.getMediaBuyDelivery({ media_buy_id: campaign.media_buy_id }); status = update.status; } ``` ### 4. Write Detailed Briefs Better briefs lead to better product matches: - Good: `'Premium video inventory for luxury automotive brand targeting high-income professionals aged 35-54 in major metros. Focus on brand awareness with completion rates above 70%.'` - Avoid: `'video ads'`, `'need advertising'` ### 5. Validate Creative Formats Always check `list_creative_formats` to ensure your creatives meet requirements before uploading. ### 6. Monitor Budget Pacing Regularly check delivery metrics to ensure campaigns are pacing properly: ```javascript const delivery = await agent.getMediaBuyDelivery({ media_buy_id: campaign.media_buy_id }); const pacing = delivery.delivery.spend / delivery.delivery.budget; console.log(`Budget pacing: ${(pacing * 100).toFixed(1)}%`); ``` ## Additional Resources ### Official AdCP Documentation - **Main Documentation**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org - **Complete Index**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/llms.txt - **Media Buy Protocol**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/media-buy/ - **Quick Reference**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/media-buy/quick-reference - **Task Reference**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/media-buy/task-reference/ - **Quickstart Guide**: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/docs/quickstart ### This Skill's Documentation - [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) - Complete API reference and schemas - [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) - Real-world campaign examples - [PROTOCOLS.md](PROTOCOLS.md) - MCP vs A2A protocol details - [TARGETING.md](TARGETING.md) - Advanced targeting strategies - [CREATIVE.md](CREATIVE.md) - Creative asset management guide ## Key Reminders 1. **AdCP is asynchronous** - Operations may take minutes to days 2. **Human approval may be required** - Check for `pending` status 3. **Start with capabilities** - Always call `get_adcp_capabilities` first 4. **Brand context matters** - Provide detailed brand manifests for better results 5. **Targeting is additive** - Product targeting + your overlay = final targeting 6. **Creative formats are strict** - Always validate against format specifications 7. **Monitor performance** - Regular delivery checks ensure campaign success ## Support For help with AdCP: - Official Repository: https://github.com/adcontextprotocol/adcp - Documentation: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org - Interactive Testing: https://testing.adcontextprotocol.org - Complete API Docs: https://docs.adcontextprotocol.org/llms.txt
