Connecting AI Client

Prerequisites

Before connecting, the user needs an active account on the platform. The MCP add-on must also be enabled for the network.

Authentication

The MCP Server uses OAuth to authenticate your connection. When you add the connector to your AI client, you will be redirected to the admin panel to authorise access. Once authorised, the connection is established, and you can start working immediately - no need to manually manage API keys or tokens within your AI tool.

Your credentials are never shared with or stored by the AI assistant. The MCP server handles authentication securely on your behalf.

Connecting your AI client

The MCP Server URL is:

https://mcp.<ad-network-domain>/mcp

Below are set up instructions for the most popular AI clients.

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Claude supports MCP connectors natively. To connect:

  1. Open Claude, go to the Customise section and click Connectors.
  2. Click the + icon to add a connector, then choose Add Custom Connector.
  3. Enter a name and the URL: https://mcp.<ad-network-domain>/mcp. The connector will be added to the list.
  4. Click Connect. You will be redirected to the admin panel to authorise access.
  5. Once authorised, you will be returned to Claude and the connection will be active.

Claude Code

If you use Claude Code from the command line, you can add the MCP server with a single command:

claude mcp add <ad-network> https://mcp.<ad-network-domain>/mcp --transport http

The first time you use the server in a session, Claude will automatically prompt you to authorise via the admin panel. You can also authorise manually before first use:

  1. Start an interactive session by running claude.
  2. Run the /mcp command.
  3. Select the server.
  4. Click Authorize.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP connectors through its Plugins. To connect:

  1. Open ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Plugins, and then MCPs.
  2. Click +Add Server, then enter a name.
  3. Choose Streamable HTTP and add the URL: https://mcp.<ad-network-domain>/mcp
  4. Hit Save, go back to the Plugin menu, then click Authenticate. You will be redirected to the admin panel to authorise access.
  5. Once authorised, you will be returned to ChatGPT and the connection will be active.

Note: there are a couple of differences if you are using the Browser app:

  1. You need to enable Developer Mode in order to add a custom MCP. You can enable this setting through the Security & Login settings.
  2. MCPs are added directly through the Plugin menu by pressing the + icon.

Cursor

Cursor supports MCP connectors through its customize menu. To connect:

  1. Open Cursor, go to Customize, click MCPs and then choose New MCP server.
  2. Add the following object to your list of MCPs in the mcp.json file:
"<ad-network>": {
      "url": "https://mcp.<ad-network-domain>/mcp"
    }
  1. Save the file. The list of MCPs will show the newly added connector. Click the Authorize button to be redirected to the admin panel and authorise access.
  2. Once authorised, you will be returned to Cursor and the connection will be active.
