# Yandex Direct MCP (io.github.askads/mcp-yandex-direct@1.5.1) > Source: > Published: 2026-08-18 22:32:35+00:00 [← Index](/leaderboard) # Yandex Direct MCP MCP server for Yandex Direct API v5: manage PPC campaigns, ads, keywords, and statistics. The current version, v1.5.1, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-18. It is distributed as mcp-yandex-direct on npm, filed under Other by this index, and declares 4 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; [the index's current counts](/stats) put this record in context. ## Using Yandex Direct MCP in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed? MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and **HOLDs the call** when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use **Install this server** for that). Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate.

A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page. Own this server? [Screen its description →](/screen) ## That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-18). Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins Yandex Direct MCP’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.
