What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

const METADATA_BASE = "http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1";

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Pinterest Ads MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Pinterest Ads MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 1 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Pinterest Ads MCP Server as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Pinterest Ads MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Pinterest Ads MCP Server need an API key?
No. Pinterest Ads MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use Pinterest Ads MCP Server?
The npm package @cesteral/pinterest-mcp was installed 115 times in the last week. Week over week that is +29%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Pinterest Ads MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 7 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
