AI-only ad scoring for Claude: score image, video or text ads on 13 dimensions before you spend.
· Registry name:
ai.adtest/adtest-mcp · License: MIT
Adds a single analyze_advert tool to Claude (Desktop, Code, or any MCP client) that
runs AdTest.AI's AI-only 13-dimension analysis of an advert — image, video, or text —
and returns a detailed scoring report. (Human-panel validation is available in the
web app only, not through this server.)
Quick add for Claude Code:
claude mcp add adtest -e ADTEST_API_KEY=adk_your_key_here -- npx -y adtest-mcp
Get an API key: sign in at https://app.adtest.ai → the Developer (gear) icon → Generate key. Make sure your wallet has funds — each successful analysis costs $1.
Add the server to your Claude config (Claude Desktop:
claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Code: .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"adtest": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "adtest-mcp"],
"env": { "ADTEST_API_KEY": "adk_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Or run it from a local checkout (after npm install in this folder):
{
"mcpServers": {
"adtest": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/index.js"],
"env": { "ADTEST_API_KEY": "adk_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Restart Claude, then just ask:
analyze_advert — provide one of:
| arg | meaning |
|---|---|
url | public URL of an image or video advert (we download it) |
file_path | local image/video file to upload |
text | ad copy to analyze |
brand_url (optional) | advertiser website — improves brand/logo detection |
Returns the AI analysis text plus the amount charged and your remaining balance.
The server submits the job to POST /developer/ai-analysis/jobs, gets a
job_id back immediately, then polls GET /developer/ai-analysis/jobs/{job_id}
every few seconds until it's complete or failed. This is why video works:
a single synchronous request would be cut off by the CDN edge timeout (~100s),
but video analysis can take several minutes. You're charged once, on success,
when the job completes — a failed job is never billed.
Registered in the official MCP Registry as ai.adtest/adtest-mcp.
Auth is the x-api-key header, set from ADTEST_API_KEY.
Endpoint defaults to https://app.adtest.ai/adtest-api; override with
ADTEST_API_BASE for staging.
Poll ceiling defaults to 15 min; override with ADTEST_POLL_TIMEOUT_MS
(milliseconds) for very long video.
Rate limits: 30 submits/min and 2000/day per key (60/min per IP); polling is generous (240/min) and handled for you.
Errors come back as readable text: invalid_api_key, insufficient_funds,
no_creative, invalid_url, unsupported_media_type, too_many_requests,
analysis_failed (the last is not charged).
Requires Node ≥ 18.
