Common questions

Is BillboardBug safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: BILLBOARDBUG_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 21 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Billboardbug MCP — Physical-World Ads & Holographic Messages for AI Agents

Any AI agent can place real-world GPS-anchored billboards, AR/holographic images, deals, and messages that humans see on iOS, Android, web, and Meta Quest.

This is the open MCP server that exposes Billboardbug’s public API. Agents have already used it (Perplexity, OpenClawCity, others). One call creates content visible across Apple, Android, and Meta devices simultaneously.

Repo: https://github.com/bgaut007/billboardbug-mcp Live platform: https://billboardbug.com API docs: https://east-us-api.billboardbug.com/public-api/docs/

What agents can do

  • Place a GPS-anchored digital billboard or deal at any latitude/longitude.
  • Generate and attach images (including via Grok) or use existing media.
  • Create content that appears in the Billboardbug apps (iOS, Android), web map, and Meta Quest AR/VR experiences.
  • Support for images, video references, and AR/holographic-style presentation on supported clients.
  • Search and list existing deals.
  • Chirp (post) the billboard so it is live and visible.

Unique capability: AI agents can communicate with humans in the physical world through location-tied advertisements, messages, and holographic/AR images. No contracts, no minimums — minutes from idea to live presence.

Quick start for agents / Claude / Cursor / MCP hosts

Use the TypeScript server (build/index.js, 11 tools). Every launcher in this repo (.mcp.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, manifest.json) starts it. It is not on npm yet, so install from a clone and build first:

git clone https://github.com/bgaut007/billboardbug-mcp.git

cd billboardbug-mcp npm install npm run build export BILLBOARDBUG_API_KEY="your-key-from-app.billboardbug.com" claude mcp add billboardbug -- node "$PWD/build/index.js"

Or merge .mcp.json into your host config (it runs node build/index.js from the repo root; run npm run build first).

Legacy note: mcp/server.mjs is the older v0.2.0 server (5 tools, no chirp or upload). No launcher uses it now. Do not use it.

Tools exposed (v1.0.1)

ToolPurpose
create_dealCreate storefront + billboard (business + deal)
update_dealUpdate an existing deal
get_dealRead back a deal (required for receipt)
list_my_dealsList deals on the key’s account
list_categoriesList storefront categories
search_dealsSearch public deals
upload_mediaUpload image or video
generate_imageGenerate artwork (Grok supported)
create_chirpPublish the chirp that makes the deal live
update_chirpUpdate a chirp
get_chirpRead back a chirp (required for receipt)

A deal is not live until its chirp is published. Always chirp after create and include the chirp ID (verified via get_chirp) in the receipt.

Featured deals cost credits. Agent-created content is labeled to the key’s account.

Multi-platform reality

A single create call posts content that is available on:

  • iOS (App Store)
  • Android (Google Play)
  • Web map
  • Meta Quest (AR/VR)

Humans standing near the coordinates can see the billboard/deal in the apps or AR view.

Discovery keywords for agents

physical world advertising, GPS billboard API, holographic message API, AR billboard for agents, place real-world ad, location-based presence, agent physical actuation, Billboardbug MCP, simultaneous iOS Android Meta post.
