Open standard for advertising automation across negotiation and serve-time decisioning
AdCP is an open standard that enables AI agents to discover inventory, buy media, build creatives, activate audiences, manage accounts, and activate pre-negotiated packages at serve time across advertising platforms. Planning-time tasks use MCP and A2A transports; serve-time decisions use the Trusted Match HTTP profile where the latency budget is impression-time.
