Using Pipeboard with the Warp terminal
Warp's Agent Mode supports MCP servers natively. Add the Pipeboard MCP URLs and manage Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads right from your terminal.
Before You Start
You need a Pipeboard account, an API token, and the Warp desktop app.
API Token
For authenticationWarp does not show an OAuth popup, so authenticate with a Pipeboard API token.
Get your tokenWarp Terminal
macOS, Linux, WindowsInstall Warp from warp.dev. Agent Mode and MCP are available on every tier.
Download WarpAdd Pipeboard to Warp in 4 steps
Warp accepts a single JSON snippet to register multiple MCP servers at once.
Open Warp's MCP settings
In the Warp desktop app, open Settings > AI > Manage MCP servers (or use the command palette and search for "MCP"). Toggle Auto-spawn servers on so Warp launches the Pipeboard MCP whenever the agent needs it.
Get your Pipeboard API token
Open pipeboard.co/api-tokens and create a token. Copy the value (starts with pk_) — you will paste it into the JSON below.
Paste the JSON configuration
In Warp's MCP servers panel, click + Add, choose JSON, and paste the snippet below. Replace YOUR_PIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN with the token from step 2. Remove the servers you don't need.
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeboard-meta-ads": {
"url": "https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN"
}
},
"pipeboard-google-ads": {
"url": "https://google-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN"
}
},
"pipeboard-tiktok-ads": {
"url": "https://tiktok-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}All three Pipeboard MCP servers (Meta, Google, TikTok) share the same API token. Add only the ones you plan to use.
Verify and use
Warp will start each server and list its tools in the MCP panel. Open Agent Mode and ask it a question:
> Show me my Meta Ads campaigns from last week
> What are my top performing Google Ads campaigns?
> Pause every ad set that spent over $100 with zero conversions yesterdayWarp will discover all available tools from each Pipeboard server and route tool calls automatically.
Token-in-URL (no headers)
If your Warp build doesn't support custom headers, pass the token as a query string instead.
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeboard-meta-ads": {
"url": "https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/?token=YOUR_PIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}Treat the token like a password. Anyone with the URL can call Pipeboard tools on your account. Rotate it from pipeboard.co/api-tokens if it leaks.
Tips for Warp + Pipeboard
Get the most out of Agent Mode
Connect the ad platform first
The MCP server can only return data for accounts you've already connected. Visit pipeboard.co/connections and connect Meta, Google, or TikTok before running tools in Warp.
Use read-only tokens for safety
On Pro+ plans you can scope an API token to read-only tools. Useful if you let Warp's agent run autonomously. See the API token permissions guide.
Share configs with your team
Warp can read a .warp/mcp.json file checked into your repo. Commit the URLs but keep tokens out of git — setPIPEBOARD_API_TOKEN in each developer's shell instead.
Confirm tool calls before they run
Warp's Agent Mode shows the planned tool call before executing. Always review writes (creating ads, updating budgets) before approving — Pipeboard cannot undo a destructive call once Meta or Google accepts it.
