How to connect Claude or ChatGPT to your Meta Ads accounts with MCP

Updated 2026-10-06 by the Cofoundr team

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI tools read data from and act on external services. With an MCP server for Meta Ads, you can ask an AI assistant about your campaigns and have it take approved actions, without exporting spreadsheets.

What you can ask

• Find all campaigns where cost per lead rose more than 30 percent.
• Show everything that changed yesterday across my accounts.
• Compare this week with last week for every client.
• Pause the three worst-performing ad sets.
• Increase the budget of the best campaign by 20 percent.

Read actions and write actions

Reading data, such as performance, health scores and diagnostics, is the low-risk part. Writing changes something: pausing an ad set, changing a budget, creating a campaign or audience. Good setups let you start read-only and grant write access later.

How Cofoundr's MCP server works

Cofoundr MCP exposes 82 actions through a single endpoint and works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client. You create a token in Settings, scope it to specific ad accounts, choose read or read and write, and revoke it at any time. Every action is written to an audit trail. Reads are free and unlimited, and write actions use credits.

Safety checklist

• Scope each token to the accounts that tool needs, nothing more.
• Begin with read-only access.
• Review the audit trail after the first week.
• Revoke tokens you no longer use.
• Confirm tokens are encrypted at rest.
