  note: List prices are published openly for five tiers, but there is no free tier, no trial and no self-serve signup — every
    tier routes to a demo or sales conversation, and API credentials require a Skai platform user with the Standard role or
    higher.

name: Skai (Kenshoo)
description: Skai (formerly Kenshoo) is an AI-powered commerce media platform that helps brands and agencies centralize retail
  media, paid search, and paid social data, then plan, activate, optimize, and measure omnichannel marketing campaigns across
  Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Walmart, Instacart, Kroger, Target and 120+ other publishers and marketplaces. Skai publishes
  a real, anonymously readable OpenAPI 3.0.0 contract — 117 paths, 158 operations, 155 schemas — served through a Redoc developer
  hub at developers.skai.io and callable at services.kenshoo.com, covering reporting (synchronous and asynchronous), bulk
  entity management, campaigns, ad groups, ads, portfolios, product groups, custom columns, incrementality testing and budget
  pacing. Alongside the REST API, Skai runs first-party hosted MCP servers at mcp.kenshoo.com — a read-only Reporting MCP
  and a write-access Operations MCP for bid, budget and status changes with preview and approval — authenticated with OAuth
  2.0 or a 90-day personal access token. Products include Celeste AI (a GenAI commerce-media agent), the Skai Data Hub, Retail
  Media, Search & Social, Omnichannel Planning, and Digital Shelf Optimization.

apis:
- name: Skai (Kenshoo) API
  description: Skai's REST API for programmatic access to advertising data and campaign management across search, social and
    retail-media publishers. Reporting is the primary surface — synchronous for small pulls, asynchronous analysis reports
    for anything larger — alongside Bulk Update (one file, millions of rows, hundreds of attributes) for scaled changes, typed
    CRUD for campaigns/ad groups/ads/portfolios/product groups, a separate /api/v2 branch for Meta entities, custom columns,
    incrementality data sources and budget pacing. Authentication is a bearer JWT obtained by exchanging a permanent refresh
    token; requests are scoped by a `ks` account identifier. Rate limited to 60 requests/minute and 2,000/hour per user.

  description: First-party hosted, remote Model Context Protocol servers exposing the Skai platform to AI assistants. The
    Reporting MCP is read-only and publishes five tools — fetch_report, relevant_columns, get_today, get_change_log and get_competitive_context
    — two of which (get_change_log, get_competitive_context) have no REST equivalent. The Operations MCP carries write access
    for bid, budget and status changes at scale, with preview and approval before anything is applied. Authentication is OAuth
    2.0 against login.kenshoo.com (authorization_code + PKCE S256, RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 discovery published) or a 90-day
    personal access token sent with a ks-name header. Documented clients include Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Web,
    ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and Google Gemini.
