Case: Automating Yandex.Direct with AI

Practical Guide to Implementing and Developing a Solution

I am a developer. In this case study, I present an MCP server for Yandex.Direct: automation of operations, queues, limits, and audit.

Quick immersion into context

• Conversations with responsible parties: automation goals and KPIs (cost, speed, quality), terminology.
• Subject area: campaign/group/ad model, budgeting and targeting rules.
• Integrations: OAuth, API limits, accounts and roles. \n## Practical Case: MCP Server for Direct Management
• Initial data: manually managed campaigns, need for automation of routine operations.
• Implementation: command/parameter server with queues, exponential retry, action audit, reporting.
• Operation: monitoring limits, key rotation, access control.

Architectural decisions and trade-offs

• Incremental synchronization, integrity control, transactional support
• Conflict resolution, encodings (cp1251/UTF-8), date/number formats
• Exponential backoff, API rate limits, batch operations
• Mapping of schemas and versioning of contracts

Hidden pitfalls and anti-patterns

• Time zone/locale inconsistency; duplicate records
• Partial failures in batches; idempotent upserts
• Schema mismatch (minor/major), migrations and rollbacks

Quality, metrics, and operations

• SLI/SLO: p95 latency, error budget, uptime; SLO alerts
• Test Strategy: unit/contract/E2E, load testing, canary releases.
• Observability: structured logs, tracing, metrics
• CI/CD, migrations, rollbacks, health checks, and readiness probes

Security and Data

• PII/secrets: encryption at rest/in transit, key rotation
• Roles and access, log masking, action auditing
• Storage policies, TTL, regional requirements

Your personal AI assistant for contextual advertising

Problem: Managing campaigns in Yandex.Direct requires constant monitoring, metric analysis, and adjustments. Specialists spend hours on routine operations instead of strategic planning.

Solution: MCP server for integration with Claude AI, which automates operations in Yandex.Direct and makes data-driven decisions.
