MCPs Take Charge: The Future of Agentic Marketing
An AdExchanger article discusses MCPs (Model Context Protocol) as a growing standard that connects AI systems to external data sources, suggesting a shift from APIs to agentic workflows. It highlights Infillion's launch of the Infillion Agent Connector, a fully agentic media execution platform built on MCP. The Connector enables AI agents to communicate across the campaign lifecycle—planning, budgeting, targeting, and analysis—without requiring direct API-to-API connections. Stagwell is named as an early customer. The platform is AI-agnostic and composable, allowing backend models to be swapped and deployment across multiple clouds. The piece describes a broader industry shift toward agentic marketing, with brands and agencies potentially developing custom agents while leveraging existing tools like MediaMath within Infillion's ecosystem.

Influ2 Launches MCP Server for Contact-Level ABM
Influ2 announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which lets AI applications access contact-level buyer signals and ABM program execution.
