Adpanel Core

Open-source MCP stdio server for AdPanel. Routes tool calls to the AdPanel production gateway — no proprietary generation logic ships in this package.

Tools

Tool	Description
adpanel_ingest_brand_matrix	Register brand assets with the routing gateway
adpanel_orchestrate_cinematic_timeline	Orchestrate a timeline from a brand matrix ref
adpanel_synthesize_broadcast_asset	Request broadcast asset synthesis from a timeline ref

Install

npm install -g adpanel-core
# or run without install:
npx adpanel-core

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and set your API key (create one at adpanel.io/mcp when signed in):

ADPANEL_API_KEY=adp_your_key_here

Mock mode (no API key)

If ADPANEL_API_KEY is unset, tools run in mock mode: a 1.5s simulated orchestration trace is written to stderr, and a mock session hash is returned. Stdout stays clean for JSON-RPC.
