MCP tools · 628 exposed · ~36,354 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Install

How do I install the AdButler MCP server?

AdButler runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y @adbutler/mcp-server. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the AdButler MCP server?

AdButler is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.adbutler/mcp-server. Manage AdButler campaigns, zones, ad items, VAST, and reports from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. This page covers its npm package (@adbutler/mcp-server).

Is the AdButler MCP server safe to use?

AdButler scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 10 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the AdButler MCP server expose?

AdButler exposes 628 tools: list_advertisers, get_advertiser, create_advertiser, update_advertiser, delete_advertiser, and 623 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 36,354 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the AdButler MCP server still maintained?

AdButler is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 10 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the AdButler MCP server under?

AdButler declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

What did VerifyMCP test on the AdButler MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on AdButler, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
