Skai MCP - Getting Started

Connect AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to Skai through the Model Context Protocol. Pick a server, enter your KS Id, and follow the steps for your app - no code needed.

Getting started

MCP server

This MCP needs the reporting MCP installed as a prerequisite.

Your KS Idⓘ

Your Skai account identifier - looks like ks1234. Type the digits once and every URL and config below becomes yours.

Choose your app

You need a Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu plan. On Business/Enterprise/Edu, a workspace admin must enable Developer mode first. Custom apps can only be created in ChatGPT on the web; once added they sync to desktop and mobile.

Don't see Developer mode under Apps → Advanced settings? That's a workspace admin setting on Business/Enterprise/Edu plans — ask your admin, and send them this page for exactly what to enable.

Turn on developer mode

Open ChatGPT on the web, go to Settings → Apps (called Apps & connectors in some workspaces) → Advanced settings and switch on Developer mode.

Create an app

Back on Apps, click Create app and give it a name (Skai works).

Paste the connector URL

Connector URL

https://mcp.kenshoo.com/campaign-actions-mcp/ks1234

Set authentication to OAuth

Under Authentication, choose OAuth, open the authentication Advanced settings, and paste this client ID (leave the secret blank):

OAuth client ID

NB1XppreF8kHUVpRtrQKksayoedpfatm

Create and sign in to Skai

Click Create. When prompted to connect, authorize the app in the browser with your Skai login.

Confirm it works

Start a new chat with the app enabled and ask: "What Skai tools do you have access to?"

You should see preview_operation, apply_operation, preview_add_keywords, apply_add_keywords, preview_negate, apply_negate.

OAuth not working?

ChatGPT does not support header-based tokens, so there is no PAT fallback here. If authorization fails, contact your Skai representative.

Why we're renaming it

“Operations” read like Skai's own internal ops tooling, not a plain description of what this connector does for your campaigns. “Campaign Actions Connector” says it directly: it takes the bid, budget, and status actions you approve, on your campaigns. Nothing else changes.
