Tools & capabilities
Vk MCP Server tools 19
vk_users_getLook up VK users by numeric ID or short name (e.g. durov). Use this to resolve a name to an ID before calling other tools, or to check whether a profile is closed.vk_users_searchFind VK users by name, optionally narrowed by city, country, sex or age. Returns matches with a total count; page through them with offset.vk_wall_getRead posts from a user or community wall, newest first. Pass domain for a short address (durov) or owner_id for a numeric one — negative for a community, positive for a person. Each post carries its likes, reposts, comments and views.vk_wall_postPublish a post on a wall. To post in a community, set owner_id to the community ID with a minus sign (-123) and from_group true, otherwise it appears as your personal post on the community wall. Attach media with the attachment string that vk_photos_upload_wall returns. Returns the new post_id.vk_wall_create_commentAdd a comment to a post. owner_id is negative for a community. Returns the new comment_id.vk_wall_get_by_idFetch particular posts by their full IDs in {owner_id}_{post_id} form, e.g. -1_340393. Use it to re-read a post you already know about, such as one you just published.vk_wall_editReplace the text or attachments of an existing post. owner_id is negative for a community. Editing overwrites the previous content, so pass the full new text rather than an addition.vk_wall_deleteDelete a post from a wall. owner_id is negative for a community. This cannot be undone.vk_photos_upload_wallUpload a photo so it can be attached to a post. Takes a URL or a local file path, runs VK's three-step upload, and returns an attachment string like photo-1_2 to pass to vk_wall_post or vk_wall_edit. group_id is positive here, without the minus sign.vk_groups_searchFind communities by keyword, optionally narrowed by type, country, city or sort order. Returns matches with a total count.vk_groups_get_membersList the members of a community. Returns bare user IDs unless you ask for fields, in which case it returns profiles. Many communities hide their member list, which comes back as an access error rather than an empty list.vk_groups_joinJoin a community as the token owner, or send a join request if it is closed. group_id is positive here, without the minus sign.- +7 more on the listing page
Synter Ads tools 56
list_campaignsList campaigns for ONE ad platform across all 16 ad platforms. `platform` is required -- this tool does not aggregate across platforms. Returns campaign name, status, budget, and performance metrics. 100% Free to Read ($0.00 / 0 credits — works out-of-the-box with zero configuration or API key; live write execution starts on the $20/month Solo plan).create_search_campaignCreate a Google Ads Search campaign with an ad group, responsive search ad, and keywords — all in one atomic request. Supports `dry_run: true` ($0.00 / 0 credits, zero credentials required) to preview payload and policy checks. Live execution passes the server-side Agent Shield safety gate (daily spend caps, paused-on-create default, human approval mode, and immutable workspace audit log) on the $20/month Solo plan ($20.00 included monthly credits, 0% ad-spend markup). IMPORTANT — creative floor: supply 11-15 headlines (15 recommended, max 30 chars each) and 4 descriptions (max 90 chars each), echoing your target keywords across at least 5 headlines. The API accepts as few as 3 headlines / 2 descriptions, but ads built near that minimum score 'Poor' on Google Ad Strength, get throttled in the auction, and may be rejected by the platform — treat 11 headlines / 4 descriptions as the real minimum. Fewer than 3 headlines or fewer than 2 descriptions will cause the campaign to be rejected before any API call is made.create_display_campaignCreate a Google Ads Display campaign with responsive display ads. Supports image uploads from URLs, `dry_run: true` ($0.00 / 0 credits, zero credentials required), and server-side safety gates (daily spend caps, paused-on-create default, approval mode, and audit log).create_pmax_campaignCreate a Google Ads Performance Max campaign. Requires images, headlines, descriptions, and a business name. Supports `dry_run: true` ($0.00 / 0 credits, zero credentials required) and server-side safety gates (daily spend caps, paused-on-create default, approval mode, and audit log).pause_campaignPause a campaign by ID across all 16 connected ad platforms. Supports `dry_run: true` ($0.00 / 0 credits, zero credentials required). Live execution is audited in the workspace audit log ($0.05 / 2 credits on Solo $20/mo plan).update_campaign_budgetUpdate the daily budget for a campaign across all 16 connected ad platforms. Supports `dry_run: true` ($0.00 / 0 credits, zero credentials required). Live execution passes the server-side Agent Shield safety gate (daily spend ceiling, max 2x budget-change multiplier, approval mode, and immutable audit log).get_performanceGet performance metrics (impressions, clicks, spend, conversions, ROAS) for campaigns across any of the 16 ad platforms. Free read-only tool ($0.00 / 0 credits).get_daily_spendGet daily spend breakdown for ONE ad platform across any of the 16 ad platforms. `platform` is required -- this tool does not aggregate across platforms.

Free read-only tool ($0.00 / 0 credits).user_budget_pacing_reportReturn a deterministic per-user/trader budget ownership and pacing snapshot from saved workspace assignments (target budget, actual spend, expected spend, projected spend, variance, and pacing status). Free read-only tool ($0.00 / 0 credits).optimize_budgetRecommend a cross-channel budget allocation across connected ad platforms using diminishing-returns modeling.
