Today's ad performance dashboard. Returns per-ad: spend, revenue, ROAS, CPA, impressions, clicks, CTR. Plus _summary aggregate across all ads.
authenticate
authenticate
MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.
connect
connect
Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.
marketplace
marketplace
The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.
report
report_bug
Report a bug, missing feature, or send feedback. Include the conversation array with recent messages for reproduction.
show
show_version
Show the current MCP platform and adapter versions.
toolkit
toolkit_info
Returns the current toolkit state: installed MCPs, their connection status, the accounts connected to each one, and how many catalog tools each exposes.

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) do?
It exposes 44 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: authenticate, connect, marketplace, meta_ads_ads, meta_ads_adset_delete, meta_ads_adset_detail and 38 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 642 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)?
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 Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) need an API key?
No. Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 44 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)?
It answers our handshake in 642 ms on average, which is faster than 24% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
