Meta Ads MCP

What is Meta Ads MCP?

Meta Ads MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants to manage Meta Ads end to end — launch campaigns, upload creatives, update budgets, and analyze performance through natural conversation. It works across Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta surfaces, and is part of the Pipeboard MCP family of five ad-platform servers with unified authentication and safety.

How to use Meta Ads MCP?

The recommended way is the hosted Remote MCP at https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/. For Claude, add the integration URL in Claude settings; for Cursor, add it to mcp.json. Other MCP-compatible clients use the same Remote MCP URL. Direct token authentication is available by appending ?token=YOUR_PIPEBOARD_TOKEN to the URL. An alternative Pipeboard CLI and local installation for advanced users are also documented.

FAQ from Meta Ads MCP

What is the difference between Meta Ads MCP and Meta's official MCP?

Meta's official connector is the safest single-platform option. Meta Ads MCP (via Pipeboard) is the cross-platform choice — access Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap, and Reddit under one auth and one safety model, with a free plan and Meta Business Partner backing.

How do I authenticate?

The remote MCP uses OAuth through Pipeboard — you connect your ad accounts once at pipeboard.co. Direct token authentication is also supported by appending your Pipeboard API token to the remote MCP URL.

What tools does Meta Ads MCP provide?

Meta Ads MCP provides 42 tools covering campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives (including dynamic creative testing), image upload, insights, interest/behavior/demographic/geo targeting, and page management.

Do I need to self-host this server?

No. The recommended setup uses the hosted Remote MCP at https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/ — no technical setup required. A local installation option is available for advanced technical users who prefer self-hosting.

Is this an official Meta product?

No. Meta Ads MCP is an independent open-source project that uses Meta's public APIs. The hosted service Pipeboard is a badged Meta Business Partner and officially approved Meta app. Meta, Facebook, and Instagram are trademarks of their respective owners.
