What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Genuine momentum (104+ member companies, AdCP 3.1, a real agent-to-agent buy) and an MCP-native design make it the leading agentic-AdTech standard, but unproven neutrality, a pending-nonprofit governance model, and largely-theoretical real-world adoption put it below the bar for committing build effort now
- Next
- Monitor AdCP 3.1+ spec and the Prebid-maintained reference implementation; track whether DSP/SSP supply commits beyond founding members; revisit when production media-buy volume (not single demos) is documented
