LinkedIn Ads MCP Server
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool to your LinkedIn Ads account. Manage campaigns, build creatives, qualify lead-gen responses, and analyze B2B performance with natural language.
What is the LinkedIn Ads MCP?
The Pipeboard LinkedIn Ads MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and custom agents to the LinkedIn Marketing API. Manage sponsored campaigns, build creatives, qualify lead-gen responses, and analyze B2B performance through natural language.
Instead of wiring up the LinkedIn Marketing API yourself, you get instant access to campaign management, demographic analytics, audience targeting, lead-gen forms, and conversion tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which LinkedIn Ads features does the MCP support?
Campaigns and campaign groups, creatives (single-image, carousel, dynamic, and inline dark posts), image and video uploads, demographic analytics, audience targeting and retargeting, lead-gen forms and responses, and conversion tracking with the Insight Tag.
Do I need a LinkedIn developer app or API key?
No. You connect your LinkedIn Ads account once at pipeboard.co/connections via OAuth, and Pipeboard handles the LinkedIn Marketing API access for you. The MCP authenticates through your Pipeboard session or an API token.
Can I read lead-gen form responses?
Yes. The MCP can list your lead-gen forms, pull form responses, and drill into the details of an individual lead so an assistant can summarize and qualify new leads for you.
Will it create or change live campaigns without my approval?
Creatives are created in DRAFT by default, and write tools support a dry-run preview that returns the exact LinkedIn call without applying it — so you can review changes before they go live.
Does it work with ChatGPT and other MCP clients?
Yes. The server speaks Streamable HTTP MCP, so it works with Claude (Desktop, Code, Pro/Max), ChatGPT developer mode, Python, n8n, and any MCP-compatible client.
