| description | AdButler platform help — full-stack ad server for display, video, mobile, native, and email ads with self-serve advertiser portal, programmatic SSP, REST API, MCP server, and cookieless targeting. Use when setting up AdButler to monetize your newsletter or website with ads, email ad zone tags aren't rendering in Outlook or dark mode, API calls to the management or reporting endpoints are failing, self-serve portal setup for letting advertisers book their own campaigns, ad revenue is underperforming and you need to optimize targeting or demand sources, trying to decide between AdButler and alternatives like Kevel or Google Ad Manager, or need help with the AdButler MCP server for AI-powered ad ops. Do NOT use for general newsletter monetization strategy (use /sales-newsletter) or newsletter sponsorship marketplace transactions (use /sales-paved or /sales-hecto). |

AdButler Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
-
What are you trying to do?
- A) Set up AdButler to serve ads on my website or newsletter
- B) Configure the self-serve portal for advertisers
- C) Integrate via the REST API or MCP server
- D) Troubleshoot ad rendering or delivery issues
- E) Compare AdButler to other ad servers
- F) Set up programmatic demand (SSP/RTB)
-
Which side are you on?
- A) Publisher (I have a site/newsletter and want ad revenue)
- B) Advertiser (I want to place ads)
- C) Developer (building a custom ad platform or integration)
-
Current setup (if applicable): channel (web, email, app), monthly ad requests, current ad server
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the question is about... | Route to... |
|---|
| Newsletter monetization strategy (subscriptions, pricing models) | /sales-newsletter [question] |
| Sponsorship marketplace (finding sponsors) | /sales-paved [question] or /sales-hecto [question] |
| Sponsor intelligence (brands that sponsor newsletters) | /sales-sponsorgap [question] |
| Building a custom ad platform from scratch (API-first) | /sales-kevel [question] |
| Email deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) | /sales-deliverability [question] |
If the question is AdButler-specific, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — AdButler platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, email ad setup, integration recipes, code examples.
Read references/adbutler-api-reference.md for API endpoint details, authentication, ad serving JSON API, and MCP server setup.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
