Use when building an AdCP signals agent, creating an audience data server, or standing up a data provider agent that serves targeting segments to buyers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Build a Signals Agent

## Overview

A signals agent serves audience segments to buyers for campaign targeting. Two tools: `get_signals` (discovery) and `activate_signal` (push to DSPs or sales agents). The business model — marketplace vs owned data — shapes every implementation decision. Determine that first.

## When to Use

- User wants to build an agent that serves audience/targeting data
- User mentions signals, segments, audiences, data provider, or CDP in the context of AdCP
- User references `get_signals`, `activate_signal`, or the signals protocol

**Not this skill:**

- Selling ad inventory (products, packages, media buys) → `skills/build-seller-agent/`
- Rendering creatives from briefs → that's a creative agent
- Building a client that _calls_ a signals agent → see `docs/getting-started.md`

## Before Writing Code

Determine these four things. Ask the user — don't guess.

### 1. Marketplace or Owned?

These are fundamentally different businesses.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adcontextprotocol/adcp-client/build-signals-agent@sha256:a9ca090eb303594b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.88e3b02, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
