AdsTurbo Creative MCP

Local MCP server for AI video ad planning. Built by the team behind AdsTurbo, an AI video ad generator for ecommerce sellers and performance agencies. This server is local-only: it never calls the AdsTurbo API and never spends credits. Its 7 documented tools cluster into build, generate, create & write, review.

People who work with ad creative, adsturbo and marketing agents and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
