Are there prominent examples of operads in schemes?
There is an abundance of examples of operads in topological spaces, chain complexes, and simplicial sets. However, there are very few (if any) examples of operads in algebraic geometric objects, even in $mathbb A^{1}$-homotopy theory.
My question is twofold:
Are there useful examples of operads in algebraic geometry?
Is there some intrinsic property of schemes which makes them incompatible with operatic structures? What about (higher) stacks?
For context, my main interest is in the $E_{n}$ operads. For instance, one would naïvely imagine that the moduli space $M_{0,n}$ of genus-zero marked curves could be an algebraic geometric counterpart of the space of little disks, but there seems to be no way to define the operadic composition without passing to the Deligne–Mumford compactification of the moduli space.

The homotopy type of the (complex points) of the DM compactification is not equivalent to the space of little disks, so the operad structure is not a model of $E_{n}$.

The homology of $M_{0,n}$ is an operad in a natural way that is compatible with AG structure (like weights). The construction uses the operad structure on the compactification plus Gysin maps-- it is general enough that one would expect it to work in the stable $mathbb A^1$ homotopy category. In fact, there you can likely define it as the Koszul dual operad to the homology of the compactification. I'm not well-informed enough to know whether/where this has been done, or whether the construction should work unstably as well.
The same goes for the Fulton Macpherson compactification of configuration space in affine space which is closer to the $E_d$ operad.

@Patrick By the Fulton Macpherson compactification, I meant the complex version, not the real one. Unless I'm missing something, this is still an operad in schemes, even though it's not cyclic. However the relationship of the complex version to $E_d$ is not as clear, so it's good you asked.

What's wrong with passing to the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space?

The homotopy type of the (complex points) of the DM compactification is not equivalent to the space of little disks, so the operad structure is not a model of $E_{n}$.

Sure, but this seems to contradict your earlier claim that there are very few (if any) examples of operads in algebraic geometry. There's an example in your question, and more examples can be constructed from it.
