Add Adwave to VS Code with the command below, or use the MCP: Add Server flow and choose HTTP, then sign in when VS Code asks. The tools are then available in GitHub Copilot chat. You sign in with OAuth, so there's no API key to copy.
Server URL
https://waverunner.adwave.com/api/mcp
Steps
With a command:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"adwave","type":"http","url":"https://waverunner.adwave.com/api/mcp"}'
Or from the editor:
- Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server.
- Choose HTTP and paste the server URL.
- Name it Adwave, review the trust prompt, and sign in when VS Code asks.
Check that it works
Most apps need a new conversation or a reload before new tools appear. Then ask: "List my Adwave campaigns and their spend." A new account has none yet, and the assistant should say so without an error.
Limits
- Your organization can restrict which MCP servers are available. See VS Code's MCP docs, checked November 3, 2026.
- As of the date above, Adwave isn't in the VS Code MCP gallery, so you add it with the URL.
- Campaigns run in the US and Canada only, from $30 a day on a prepaid wallet. TikTok is opt-in early access. Pinterest is coming soon.
- Every tool that spends is marked destructive, so the app asks first. Launching and resuming set the day aside, and what ran is charged the next morning. Top-ups happen on Stripe's hosted page, never in chat.
