Kettio scores ad creative against a simulated audience and returns a ranking. You send image URLs and optional ad copy, you name the audience you are buying, and you get back an ordered list with a rationale for each asset. The intended use is pre-flight triage: deciding which creatives are worth putting spend behind, and which pairs are close enough that they need a direct comparison.
Kettio scores are relative within the batch you submit. They are not conversion probabilities, and they are not forecasts of CPA, ROAS, or causal lift. Treat them as a prioritization signal, not a prediction.

Two surfaces

MCP server

Install into Claude Code, Codex, or Claude Desktop and rank creative straight from local files. Two commands and a key.

REST API

Batch scoring over HTTP. Use this for volume: pipelines, scheduled jobs, and anything that runs without a client attached.
Both reach the same scoring pipeline. The difference is where your files live: rank_assets over MCP takes local paths and uploads them for you, while the REST API expects assets already published at fetchable URLs. See Agent loop for choosing between them.

Endpoints

Base URL is https://kettio.com for every endpoint. Authentication is a bearer token on every request — see Authentication.

What the score means

Every asset is scored by Kettio’s SSR pipeline against a persona built from the audience you supply. Each scoring evaluation runs three independent repetitions and averages them, so a single score already carries a spread you can inspect through confidence_details. When you include copy_context, Kettio scores the full ad package and runs an image-only ablation, so the response also tells you what the copy contributed (copy_lift).

How scoring works

Repetitions, evaluations, copy lift, and the image-only ablation.

Reading confidence

When a gap is real and when two assets are effectively tied.

Start here

1

Create an API key

Open Dashboard → API Keys. The raw key is shown once.
2

Pick your path

Using a coding agent? Set up your agent — install, rank local files, done. Calling over HTTP? First ranking walks through a working request and its response.
3

Wire it into your loop

Read Limits and billing before you scale up — the monthly allowance counts ranked ads, while rate limits count scoring evaluations.
