update(plugin-json): adspirer-ads-agent — repoint to ads-mcp, bump sha, recategorize

[amekala]

Refreshes the adspirer-ads-agent entry to point at the actively maintained monorepo and reflect current capabilities.

What changed

• source.url: amekala/adspirer-mcp-plugin → amekala/ads-mcp
  • ads-mcp is the monorepo where development actually happens (also distributes Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI extension, and OpenClaw plugins). adspirer-mcp-plugin was a Feb-14 snapshot that has since fallen behind.
• source.sha: aa70dbdb (Feb 14) → 2b50e11f (current ads-mcp HEAD)
• Description: "91 tools…" → "150+ tools for keyword research, campaign creation (Search, PMax, YouTube, image/video/carousel), performance analysis, creative fatigue detection, conversion tracking audit, and budget optimization."
• category: productivity → marketing (better fit — no paid-media plugin currently in marketing)
• Added author: { "name": "Adspirer" } (matches convention of other partner-authored entries like Sanity, Apollo, Zoom)

Why

The current pinned entry references a repo that stopped receiving updates in February. Meanwhile the Claude Code listing at https://claude.com/plugins/adspirer-ads-agent has grown to 1,288+ installs, and the product has since added LinkedIn Ads, Meta video/carousel campaigns, Google YouTube and Demand Gen, conversion tracking audit, scheduled briefs, and multi-account management. Users installing from the listing today get stale content.

Testing

• New pinned sha 2b50e11f in amekala/ads-mcp passes /plugin validate
• Plugin installs cleanly via /plugin marketplace add amekala/ads-mcp then /plugin install adspirer-ads-agent
• MCP server reachable at https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with DCR + PKCE)
• Verified installed and functional in Claude Cowork (Personal marketplace path)

Rebased onto latest main to clear the merge conflict. Diff is functionally identical to the version you already approved, with one update:

• New sha pin: a2ef04a (was 2b50e11f)

The new sha contains a fix in amekala/ads-mcp so the plugin's in-repo plugin.json declares "name": "adspirer-ads-agent" instead of "adspirer". With strict: true (default), the previous sha would have surfaced a name mismatch against this marketplace entry. New sha installs cleanly.

Re-requesting review when you have a moment, @tobinsouth — the rebase invalidated your prior approval. Thanks!

Friendly bump — the May 10 rebase is functionally identical to the version @tobinsouth approved on Apr 26 (just resolved the merge conflict that landed afterward). Ready for re-merge whenever convenient.

Separately, I just filed #224 requesting that the start-auth redirect handler forward product_surface to plugin OAuth endpoints — would unlock surface-aware UX for Adspirer (and other plugins). Happy to contribute a PR if there's interest.
