How the three integration paths relate
- SDK: best for frontend rendering and page integration when you want to show results quickly
- Backend API: best for server-side request control and centralized orchestration
- MCP: best for tool-calling scenarios in agent runtimes and MCP clients
Where they all converge
- All three paths eventually feed into the ActionX decisioning flow.
ads-serverremains the core decision point for request handling.- The main difference is who makes the request, who consumes the result, and who renders it.
