launch

A tool for setting up advertising campaigns on connected platforms such as Meta, Google, or TikTok. It creates campaigns, ad groups, and ads as drafts, with publishing requiring explicit approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create campaigns, set budgets, configure targeting and bidding, upload media, duplicate campaigns, and prepare ads to go live.
Why use it?
It removes the need to configure each platform’s campaign structure and settings from scratch. It also keeps new campaigns paused or in draft form until they are reviewed and approved.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

launch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Launch Campaign

Requires a connected platform — run /ads:setup first if needed.

1. Campaign hierarchy

The structure is the same across platforms — only entity names differ:

Level Meta Google TikTok
Campaign campaigns campaigns campaigns
Ad group adsets ad-groups ad-groups
Ad ads ads ads

Every adkit_manage call takes: platform, entity, action, and params.

2. Discover params then create

Call adkit_help path: "manage <platform> <entity> create" for the exact params. Universal params that work on every platform:

Param Description
name Entity name (required)
budget { daily: N } or { lifetime: N }
status active or paused (default: paused)

Platform-specific params (targeting, optimization, bidding, pixel, channel) vary. Always discover them with adkit_help before your first mutation on a platform.

Create example (platform-agnostic pattern):

adkit_manage platform: "<platform>" entity: "campaigns" action: "create" params: { name: "Spring Sale", objective: "sales", budget: { daily: 50 } }

Then create the ad group referencing the campaign, then the ad referencing the ad group. Each returns a draft ID.

3. Media upload (all platforms)

Two upload methods:

Direct upload (default — handles most files):

adkit_manage platform: "<platform>" entity: "media" action: "upload" params: { source: "url", url: "<public-url>" }

Temporary upload URL (for local files or large assets):

  1. entity: "media" action: "request_upload_url" with filename and contentType → returns a signed PUT URL and uploadId
  2. PUT the file bytes to the signed URL
  3. entity: "media" action: "upload" with { source: "temporary_upload", uploadId: "<id>" }

Or use adkit_studio to generate AI creatives instead of uploading.

Bulk media upload

For multiple creatives, repeat the upload flow for each file. Each upload returns a separate media ID. Then create one ad per media ID referencing the same ad group.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

launch is a skill published in the GitHub repository adkit/ads-mcp (12 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 739 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
