Meta Ads MCP Server
Connect Meta Ads to Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity and just ask. Ask AI runs a hosted Facebook Ads MCP server that reads your live Meta Ads data — spend, conversions, and ROAS — alongside Shopify revenue, Google Ads, GA4, and 17 other sources, all queryable in one conversation.

What is an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that lets AI assistants query external data sources in real time during a conversation. Instead of exporting a report and pasting numbers into a chat window, the AI calls the MCP server directly and gets live answers from your actual data.
For Meta Ads, this means Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity can read your real Facebook and Instagram ad data — spend, conversions, and ROAS — without opening Ads Manager. You ask a question, the AI queries your account via the MCP server, and you get an answer from live data.
Ask AI runs the MCP server for you. You connect Meta Ads, grab your MCP URL from the dashboard, and paste it into your AI tool. That's it.
What Meta Ads data is available via MCP
Once connected, your AI can query all of the following from your live Meta Ads account.
Campaigns — spend, impressions, clicks, reach, CTR, CPC, CPM
Conversions — purchases, purchase value, add to cart, initiate checkout
ROAS — return on ad spend at account and campaign level
Daily trends — daily spend and conversion trends over time
Campaign breakdown — performance comparison across all campaigns
Connection method
Meta Business OAuth with read-only access — Ask AI can read your Facebook and Instagram ad performance but can never change campaigns, budgets, or creative.
How to set up the Meta Ads MCP server
Four steps. Takes under 5 minutes from start to first query.
Connect Meta Ads
Sign up and connect your Meta Business account with read-only access. We can never edit campaigns or change budgets. Historical data syncs in minutes.
Get your MCP URL
Go to AI Tools in your dashboard. Your unique Remote MCP Server URL is ready immediately. No configuration required.
Add to Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity
In Claude: Settings, then Connectors, then Add Custom Connector and paste your URL. ChatGPT uses a Custom GPT and Perplexity supports Remote MCP directly. Takes under 2 minutes.
Start asking questions
Open a new conversation and ask anything about your Meta Ads data. The AI queries your live data and returns real answers, with no exports and no dashboards.
Example queries you can ask
Once your Meta Ads account is connected via MCP, ask your AI tool questions like these:
“What's my Facebook Ads ROAS this month?”
“Which campaigns drove the most purchases last week?”
“Compare my Meta ad spend to revenue — am I profitable?”
“Show me daily ad spend trends for the last 30 days.”
“Which campaign has the lowest CPA right now?”
“How do my Facebook ads compare to Google Ads this month?”
More powerful with your other tools
Meta reports its own attributed conversions, but its attribution window rarely matches what Shopify actually recorded. The same MCP server also exposes Shopify, Google Ads, GA4, and 16 other sources alongside Meta Ads, so you can reconcile the two and ask questions no single dashboard can answer.
“Compare my Meta Ads attributed revenue to real Shopify revenue — is attribution inflated?”
“How does my Meta Ads ROAS compare to Google Ads over the last 30 days?”
“On days I spent most on Meta, did Shopify orders actually rise?”
“Which Meta campaigns line up with spikes in GA4 traffic?”

Frequently asked questions
What is a Meta Ads (Facebook Ads) MCP server?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol — an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants query external data in real time. A Meta Ads MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity direct, read-only access to your Facebook and Instagram ad data so you can ask about spend, conversions, and ROAS in natural language, without exporting from Ads Manager.
How do I connect Meta Ads?
You connect your Meta Business account through OAuth with read-only access. Setup takes about a minute and historical data syncs shortly after. Ask AI can read your ad performance but can never change campaigns or budgets.
Which AI tools can I use it with?
Claude (claude.ai Pro/Team and Claude Desktop) and Perplexity Pro support Remote MCP servers directly. ChatGPT connects via a Custom GPT and Gemini via function calling — Ask AI supports all of them from the same dashboard.
Why doesn't Meta's reported revenue match my Shopify sales?
Meta attributes conversions on its own click and view windows, which routinely credit sales that Shopify records under a different source, so Meta's number tends to run higher than actual store revenue. Ask AI lets you put both side by side in one question so you can see the gap instead of trusting one platform's self-report.
Can I combine Meta Ads with my Shopify and Google Ads data?
Yes, that's where it gets powerful. The same MCP server also exposes Shopify, Google Ads, GA4, and 20+ other sources. You can ask whether Meta spend drove real Shopify orders, or how it compares to Google Ads, all in one conversation.
Is my data secure?
All credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. We only request read-only access, and you can disconnect Meta Ads at any time from your dashboard.
