15-year ads veteran builds the ad-platform MCP he couldn't find: 14 sources, paused-by-default writes

A paid-media lead who managed hundreds of millions in ad spend built his own ads MCP after finding existing ones shallow. Key design: connects 14 sources (Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit + GA4/Search Console) with per-source reporting catalogs and creative tools; imports creatives from Drive/Dropbox in batches up to 200 files; all writes default to paused with a preview/apply flow, audit logs, and read-only roles; retries check real platform state after timeouts to avoid duplicates; alerts and Sheets exports run in background workers after the chat closes; a discovery step searches the tool catalog first and loads schemas on demand to protect context. He asks the community about evaluating tool-discovery accuracy, elicitation-based approvals across clients, and surfacing background job status.
