## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-06.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 66/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1309 tokens (~436/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 13/100
  - Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## Install

### How do I install the PPC Ad Editor MCP server?

PPC Ad Editor is a hosted endpoint at https://studio.ppcadeditor.com/api/mcp/preview, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

### `preview_ad` (~1215 tokens)

Preview an ad

Show a realistic mockup of one ad (Google Search, Display, Performance Max, Demand Gen, YouTube, Facebook/Instagram, LinkedIn, Microsoft Advertising/Bing, OpenAI chat ads, X, Reddit) right in the chat. No account needed.
The ad copy comes from the caller. Images are hosted HTTPS URLs in images[] / logos[], for example from the advertiser's website; this tool never generates images, and Google Search ads need none. Studio, YouTube and www.ppcadeditor.com images load directly. Any other HTTPS image is shown through a signed URL on studio.ppcadeditor.com.
One format per call.
The result includes save_url, a link where the user can save the ad to a free PPC Ad Editor account, edit it, and get a share link for a client.

## Common questions

### What is the PPC Ad Editor MCP server?

PPC Ad Editor is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.ppcadeditor/ppc-ad-editor. Preview Google Search, PMax, Display, YouTube, Meta and LinkedIn ad mockups in chat. No sign-in. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://studio.ppcadeditor.com/api/mcp/preview).

### Is the PPC Ad Editor MCP server safe to use?

PPC Ad Editor scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 PPC Ad Editor MCP server expose?

PPC Ad Editor exposes 2 tools: preview_ad, get_ad_formats. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,258 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the PPC Ad Editor MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to PPC Ad Editor without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the PPC Ad Editor MCP server still maintained?

PPC Ad Editor is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the PPC Ad Editor MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on PPC Ad Editor, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 10 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
