Auditsocials MCP Server

AuditSocials Glossary MCP — 212 Advertising & Platform‑Policy Terms for AI

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants an authoritative, openly‑licensed glossary of social media advertising & platform‑policy terminology — 212 terms (CC BY 4.0) covering platform policy, legal & regulatory frameworks (DSA, GDPR, FTC), ad‑tech metrics, content & creative standards, privacy & data, industry‑specific rules, and enforcement & risk.

Let AI assistants define and search advertising‑compliance terms accurately, with source attribution and a persistent URI on every response — instead of hallucinating definitions for regulatory and platform‑policy jargon.

• 📚 212 curated terms across 8 categories — platform policy, legal/regulatory, ad‑tech, content standards, privacy, industry rules, enforcement & risk.
• 🔗 Cited & persistent — every definition carries a source URL and a stable w3id.org URI; the dataset has a Zenodo DOI.
• 🆓 No API key, no config — the glossary is bundled and read‑only; just npx.
• 🤖 Grounding for RAG & agents — reduce hallucination on DSA/GDPR/FTC and platform‑policy terminology.

Scope: glossary only. The AuditSocials policy tracker, enforcement intelligence and scanner are not exposed through this server. For live pre‑publish policy checks, see the companion AuditSocials Compliance MCP.

Tools

Quickstart

npx -y auditsocials-mcp

No API key and no configuration required — the 212‑term glossary is bundled.

Client setup

Speaks MCP over stdio, so it works with any MCP‑compatible client.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add to mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auditsocials-glossary": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "auditsocials-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed and other MCP clients — point them at the npx -y auditsocials-mcp command (no env needed).

Usage — just ask your assistant

• "Define account suspension using the AuditSocials glossary."
• "Search the AuditSocials glossary for DSA terms."
• "What categories are in the AuditSocials advertising‑compliance glossary?"
• "Define shadow ban and list related terms."

Each answer includes the definition, category, applicable platforms, related terms, a source URL and a persistent URI — so your assistant cites rather than guesses.

What's inside

• Content & creative standards, privacy & data, industry‑specific rules, and enforcement & risk (bans, appeals, demonetization, shadow‑limiting).

FAQ

What is the AuditSocials Glossary MCP? An MCP server that lets AI assistants define and search 212 openly‑licensed social‑media advertising and platform‑policy terms, with source attribution on every response.

Do I need an API key? No. The glossary is bundled and read‑only — just run npx -y auditsocials-mcp.

Why use it instead of asking the model directly? Regulatory and platform‑policy terminology (DSA, GDPR, FTC, demonetization, shadow bans) is easy to get subtly wrong. This grounds answers in a curated, cited dataset with persistent URIs — ideal for RAG and agents.

Can I use the definitions in my own product? Yes, under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to AuditSocials (link the source URL or DOI).

Which MCP clients work? Any stdio MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed and others.
