Using Meta Ads MCP with ChatGPT
Connect the Meta Ads MCP to ChatGPT using Developer Mode and start asking questions about your Facebook & Instagram ads in natural language.
What is the Meta Ads MCP?
The Meta Ads MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provided by Pipeboard. It lets AI assistants like ChatGPT securely access your Meta Ads data through official Meta APIs using OAuth. With it, you can ask natural questions such as "Which campaigns underperformed last week?" or "Show my top creatives and their CTR" and get answers directly in ChatGPT.
