Overview
What is Meta Ads MCP?
Meta Ads MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants run your Meta Ads end to end — launch campaigns, upload creatives, update budgets, and dig into performance through natural conversation. It works across Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta surfaces and is part of the Pipeboard MCP family, sharing one auth and safety model with Google, TikTok, Snap, and Reddit servers.
How to use Meta Ads MCP?
The recommended way is to connect a remote MCP client (e.g., Claude Pro/Max, Cursor) to the URL https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/ and authenticate via Pipeboard. Alternatively, use the Pipeboard CLI for shell commands or perform a local installation. Direct token authentication is supported via the URL parameter ?token=YOUR_PIPEBOARD_TOKEN.

Every write (campaign launch, budget change, etc.) requires explicit confirmation. New campaigns start paused where the platform supports it. Confirmation prompts look identical across all five Pipeboard MCP servers.
