Other projects and adjacent options
Searched GitHub, the official MCP registry and vendor sites. We only name projects whose existence we verified.
Prebid Sales Agent
Open-source (Apache 2.0) server from the Prebid project that exposes inventory to AI agents through MCP and A2A, built around the AdCP protocol. Google Ad Manager is its most developed adapter; it creates and updates media buys (16 AdCP tools). The project labels itself alpha. A different approach (publisher-side agentic selling): an adjacent option rather than a feature-by-feature equivalent.[8] [9]
sednalabs/google-ad-manager-mcp
Rust MCP server (Apache 2.0), local (stdio); the stable v0.1.0 release is read-only (8 tools), candidate v0.1.1 adds optional write modes.[10]
RATO-tdunkel/google-ad-manager-mcp
Fork of the MatiousCorp repository (MIT), same tool scope and deployment modes.[11]
