Madhive Launches Maverick AI Agent Suite for Local DSP
Madhive announced an expansion of its Maverick AI enterprise intelligence layer with a new suite of agentic AI capabilities embedded directly into its demand-side platform (DSP). The Maverick AI agents are trained on more than a decade of Madhive’s proprietary local performance data (signals from over 50,000 daily campaigns) and are designed to accelerate planning, activation, optimization, and reporting across local media at national scale. Madhive also introduced a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets multiple LLMs connect to the platform and interact with campaigns, creatives, audiences, and publisher groups via natural language commands. The agentic features will roll out over the next year, with quoted support from Madhive’s CEO Jim Wilson and Michael Page of Fox Television Stations.

MadConnect Launches Game-Changing Infrastructure for Agentic AI
MadConnect has made its Intelligent Connectivity Layer (ICL) generally available to enterprise marketers and agencies, positioning the software as a neutral infrastructure layer that wires CRMs, CDPs, clean rooms, ad servers and DSPs so AI agents can operate across systems. ICL natively supports the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) to standardize how agents share context and interact. Credera (Omnicom’s consulting division) and Dentsu are early testers; Credera’s Rio Longacre and Dentsu’s Gerry Bavaro highlighted persistent integration friction in ad tech and said preconfigured ICL connections reduce custom engineering and speed access to log-level and conversion API data. MadConnect CEO Bob Walczak emphasized a zero-copy governance approach: ICL runs inside clients’ stacks, manages connections and does not take custody of data. The product aims to help move agentic AI workflows from pilot to production.
Magnite Launches Agentic AI and Smart Mediation
Magnite announced an expansion of AI capabilities for its sell‑side and video mediation products to help media owners and buyers operate more efficiently. Enhancements to the SpringServe video mediation platform include anomaly detection, demand‑path optimization and dynamic pricing. Magnite is also developing agentic AI tools — including a buyer agent — to automate activation, optimization and performance management; Kepler and MiQ are running tests of the buyer agent with inventory from Disney Advertising. Magnite said it will continue to support third‑party agents and is collaborating with Publicis Media Exchange (PMX) and partners such as Spectrum Reach to pilot agentic workflows. Company executives framed the updates as steps toward increased automation, interoperability and faster programmatic execution across premium CTV and other media environments.
Amazon Ads Launches MCP Server to Enable Agentic Workflows
The article explains how the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as infrastructure to connect AI/LLM agents to advertising and marketing systems. Amazon Ads has opened an MCP server in beta to let partners and developers connect AI agents to Amazon Ads capabilities and to power an Ads Agent that can plan, launch and optimize campaigns via natural language. The MCP server now includes functionality to run saved Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) queries through advertisers' own LLMs. Hector Ai has built an MCP-based connector to expose its optimization suite to agents like Claude. Industry research (Gartner) forecasts rapid growth in agentic AI within enterprise software by 2028, underlining the potential impact on marketing workflows and partner innovation.
