This is a hosted remote MCP server for Meta advertising operations, covering accounts, campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives, targeting, budgets, and insights. The source documents compatibility with multiple MCP clients and describes write confirmations plus paused initial campaigns; it is not maintained by Meta, and remote use requires evaluating data and advertising-operation risks.

Meta Ads MCP is a hosted remote MCP server from Pipeboard that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, and other MCP clients manage Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta ad surfaces through natural language. It covers campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives, budgets, targeting, and performance analysis. The project uses Meta's public APIs; the hosted service requires no self-hosting or developer token and supports OAuth authentication.

Setup

Use the hosted remote MCP: connect a Facebook Ads account through Pipeboard, then add https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/ to a compatible MCP client. In Cursor, place the provided configuration in ~/.cursor/mcp.json and complete login. Claude users can add the URL under Integrations; some clients also support appending a Pipeboard token to the URL. Advanced users can deploy locally using the repository's Streamable HTTP guide, but must create their own Meta Developer App.

Fit and risk

Best for

Marketers managing Facebook and Instagram advertising
Teams wanting conversational AI analysis and control of Meta Ads
Users who prefer hosted remote MCP access without managing infrastructure
Users needing dynamic creative testing and performance insights

Not for

Users who only need read-only reporting and do not want write access
Users without Meta advertising activity or an accessible ad account
Users requiring fully self-hosted operation with no hosted service
Users specifically seeking an MCP server maintained by Meta

Required permissions

Requires access to Meta ad accounts, campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives, Pages, and performance data depending on the tool used
Write operations may create or modify campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives, budgets, statuses, and targeting
Authentication uses Pipeboard OAuth or a Pipeboard token; local deployment requires a Meta Developer App

Risks and side effects

Creating or updating ads can trigger real delivery and spending; writes should be reviewed before confirmation
Incorrect budgets, bids, targeting, or statuses can affect performance and spend
The remote service processes ad-account requests; users should evaluate their trust in Pipeboard
Image uploads and creative changes can affect brand presentation and campaign results

Troubleshooting

Confirm that the MCP client supports streamable HTTP
Confirm that Pipeboard login is complete and the correct Facebook Ads account is connected
Call mcp_meta_ads_get_ad_accounts first to verify access, then mcp_meta_ads_get_account_info
Check the remote URL and login state in the Cursor configuration
For local deployment, check Streamable HTTP configuration, the Meta Developer App, and token caching
When creating campaigns, use the documented outcome-based objectives rather than deprecated legacy objectives

Use cases

Inspect campaign performance through natural language

Create, pause, and update campaigns, ad sets, and ads

Upload images, create creatives, and test multiple headlines and descriptions

Search interest, behavior, demographic, and geographic targeting

Receive budget, targeting, and creative optimization recommendations
