No spreadsheets. No tab-switching. No exports. Ask Perplexity a question about your Meta Ads, and it answers with live data.

What's new in May 2026

Meta launched its first-party AI Ads Connector on April 29, 2026. It connects Meta Ads to ChatGPT and Claude directly. The catch. It only covers Meta. If you also run Google Ads or LinkedIn, you need a second tool. PaidSync covers all of them, including Meta, through one MCP URL. One connection, 7 platforms.

Perplexity Connectors is the route on the Perplexity side. Paste your PaidSync MCP URL once, and every Perplexity thread can read and write your ad accounts.

How to Set It Up in 5 Steps

The entire setup takes under 5 minutes. No coding, no downloads, no scripts.

Sign up for PaidSync.ai

Go to paidsync.ai/signup and create your account with Google or email. You land on the free plan automatically. No credit card needed.

Connect your Meta Ads account

From the PaidSync dashboard, click Connect Meta Ads. Sign in with the Facebook account that owns your Business Manager and authorize PaidSync as a Meta Business Partner. Your credentials never touch Perplexity and are not stored by PaidSync.

Copy your MCP server URL

The dashboard shows a personal MCP server URL in the format https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY. Copy it.

Add the URL to Perplexity Connectors

Open Perplexity, go to Settings > Connectors, click Add MCP Server, and paste your PaidSync URL. Perplexity confirms the connection in a few seconds. You should see PaidSync listed as an active connector.

Ask Perplexity about your Meta Ads

Open a new Perplexity thread. Try "Show me my Meta Ads spend and ROAS this week" to confirm the connection is live. From there, you can run, audit, and adjust your campaigns by chat.

What You Can Ask Perplexity After Connecting

PaidSync exposes 70+ Meta-specific tools to Perplexity, with full write access. Here are prompts you can run the moment you finish setup.

"Summarize my Meta Ads performance this week. Which ad sets are wasting spend?"

Perplexity pulls campaign, ad set, and ad-level data, sorts by ROAS, and flags the underperformers with explanations.

"Pause every ad set spending over $80 with zero purchases in the last 7 days"

Finds the waste and pauses it in one action. Perplexity confirms the list before executing.

"Create a new Advantage+ shopping campaign called 'Spring Launch' with a $100/day budget and my best-performing creatives"

Builds a live Meta campaign with ad sets, budget, and creative selection from one sentence.

"Build a lookalike audience based on my top 1% of purchasers from the last 90 days"

Pulls source data, creates the custom audience, then the lookalike, all without touching Ads Manager.

"Compare last month's CPM and CPA against the month before. What changed?"

Pulls a date-range comparison and explains the deltas in plain English.

"Upload these 3 images as a new creative for my retargeting campaign and split-test them"

Uploads via the Meta Ads write endpoints and attaches the new ads to the right ad set.

"Which placements are converting cheapest right now?"

Returns Reels, Stories, Feed, and Audience Network performance with a placement-level breakdown.

"Increase budgets by 20% on every ad set with ROAS above 3x"

Identifies the winners and scales them. Perplexity confirms the changes before running them.

Why PaidSync Is the Right MCP for Meta on Perplexity

Three things separate PaidSync from other Meta MCP options on the market.

Meta Business Partner credential. Most MCP servers either skip Meta or limit it to read-only. PaidSync is a Meta Business Partner, which gives the write endpoints. Create campaigns, upload creatives, build audiences, manage budgets. The credential is the moat.

One MCP URL, 7 platforms. Meta launched its own AI Ads Connector on April 29, 2026, but it only covers Meta. PaidSync covers Google Ads (200+ tools), Meta Ads (70+ tools), LinkedIn Ads (30+ tools), TikTok Ads, GTM (40+ tools), GA4 (25+ tools), and Merchant Center. One connection, 380+ tools. Your Perplexity thread can move from Meta to Google in the same sentence.

Built for operators. The 70+ Meta tools cover the real day-to-day. Reports, ad set updates, budget changes, creative uploads, audience building, exclusion management, conversion tracking. Not a marketing demo. The actual work.
