Lazy Ads
Hosted MCP for nine ad networks. BYOA, flat SaaS — no percent of spend, no fake ROAS.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http lazy-ads 'https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer token from Lazy Ads → Settings → API (any paid plan). Format: Bearer <api-key>. X-API-Key also accepted.>'
{
"mcpServers": {
"lazy-ads": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "<Bearer token from Lazy Ads → Settings → API (any paid plan). Format: Bearer <api-key>. X-API-Key also accepted.>"
}

Hosted endpoint
- URL:
https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp - Protocol: MCP 2026-07-28 Streamable HTTP
- Auth: API key from Lazy Ads → Settings → API (any paid plan)
Docs: lazyads.ai/mcp
Connect your client (lazyads.ai/mcp#setup)
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) and Claude Code (.mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"lazyads": {
"url": "https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer la_your_api_key" }
}
}
}
Claude Code one-liner: claude mcp add --transport http lazyads https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer la_your_api_key"
Windsurf uses serverUrl instead of url. Gemini CLI uses httpUrl. VS Code uses servers with "type": "http". Codex CLI reads [mcp_servers.lazyads] with url and bearer_token_env_var = "LAZY_ADS_API_KEY" from ~/.codex/config.toml. Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so bridge it with mcp-remote and put the header in env. Copy-ready blocks for every client: https://lazyads.ai/mcp#setup
X-API-Key is also accepted.
Connect (Hermes)
Store the key in ~/.hermes/.env as LAZY_ADS_API_KEY=la_..., then:
mcp_servers:
lazyads:
url: "https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp"
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer ${LAZY_ADS_API_KEY}"
