Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Inside Ads every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

campaign

create_campaign_draft

Build a ready-to-launch ad campaign for a product WITHOUT the user having an account yet. Parses the landing page, generates ad creatives, and returns a single checkout link. Give that link to the user: they sign in there, the campaign moves to their account, they pay, and it starts. Use this after estimate_campaign, once the user agreed to advertise. Do NOT ask them to register first.

draft

get_draft_status

Check what happened to a campaign draft you created with create_campaign_draft: whether the user opened the link, signed in and paid. Poll this instead of asking the user to report back.

estimate

estimate_campaign

Estimate reach, clicks and cost of advertising a product to Telegram audiences — no account or authorization required. Call this FIRST, before asking the user to connect an account: it tells you whether inside.ad has relevant inventory for this product and what a given budget would buy. Describe the product yourself (you know it better than any crawler); the URL alone is a weak signal.

Inside Ads — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Inside Ads do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_campaign_draft, estimate_campaign, get_draft_status. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Inside Ads working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 193 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Inside Ads?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Inside Ads need an API key?

No. Inside Ads completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Inside Ads?

It answers our handshake in 193 ms on average, which is faster than 69% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
