Vertoz Launches MCP Connectors for AI Assistant Access
Vertoz, an AI-led advertising ecosystem, announced the global launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connectors. These integrations enable advertisers and publishers to securely access information from Vertoz's advertising technology platforms through AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. The launch includes two platforms: IngeniousPlex (Advertiser MCP Connector) for retrieving campaign and account information, and IncrementX (Publisher MCP Connector) for accessing website, inventory, and monetization data. Access is managed via OAuth-based authentication, and the connectors work alongside existing dashboards, offering an additional interface for authorized information retrieval. This move supports the growing interest in Agentic Advertising, though the current functionality focuses on information retrieval rather than autonomous campaign execution or media trading.
