What changed, and when

Changelog

Product facts, dated. Nothing enters this log that cannot be checked in the gateway or in production, and breaking entries are rare on purpose.

Skills library: 200 operating skills
skills
26 deep contracts with quantified decision rules and 174 recipes covering the daily work of every source. Discoverable via search_skills and get_skill on every MCP endpoint, and at /skills with Markdown twins.
Structured refusals on the gateway
gateway
Every refusal now carries a machine block next to the prose: a stable code, whether retrying can help, whether a human is needed, and the next action. Codes are documented on /docs/concepts/limits.
Machine manifests: capabilities, pricing, security
site
/capabilities.json describes every source's read, write and tool surface; /pricing.json carries the plans; /security.json and /security.md state the security model. All generated from the same source of truth as the pages.
Comparison pages
site
Fact-checked comparisons against the official platform MCPs, Pipeboard and MCP Ads (mcp-ads.com), each with a verification date, sources, and the rows where the other product wins.

New pricing model: pay for scope, not for calls
pricing
Free (1 account, 1 seat, 200 calls per period, read only), Pro 39 EUR, Team 99 EUR, Agency 199 EUR: 5/15/50 accounts and seats, unlimited tool calls, writes with Safe Writes. Periods run on the sign-up anniversary, not the calendar month. Annual pays 10 months of 12.
One page per MCP server
site
Each source gained its own page (/tools/meta-ads and five others) named the way it is searched, plus /use-cases, header submenus and a footer that names all six servers.
Host split: www for the site, app for the dashboard
site
The public site and every machine-readable document moved to www.getmcpads.com as the canonical host; app.getmcpads.com serves the signed-in dashboard and OAuth returns. Old URLs redirect.
Anniversary metering
gateway
The Free plan's call allowance runs from the sign-up day to the same day next month instead of the calendar month. Nobody signs up on the 28th and gets a three-day month any more.
GET and HEAD on MCP endpoints authenticate correctly
gateway
Unauthenticated GET returned 200 and HEAD returned 404, which broke discovery in some clients. Both now authenticate then answer 405, and discovery works across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Hermes and OpenClaw.

Launch
gateway
Six sources (Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, GA4, Search Console), 185 tools, hosted MCP gateway with OAuth 2.1, per-source dedicated endpoints, account scoping, Safe Writes, llms.txt and Markdown twins of the whole site.
