This is how to connect your ad account in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to connect my Microsoft Ads account and list the accounts it reaches, so you can pick the one to work in. You approve access on Microsoft's own sign-in screen, and the accounts it reaches are listed straight after.
Connecting is one approval, followed by a status check and an account list:
connect_microsoft_ads starts the connection and returns a link to authorize PaidSync.ai on Microsoft's side.get_ms_active_account returns the account that is active in the session, once you have selected one.list_ms_accounts lists the accounts the login can reach.get_ms_active_account and list_ms_accounts only read your account. connect_microsoft_ads changes it. Claude calls these to connect your ad account.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| connect_microsoft_ads | Starts the connection |
| get_ms_active_account | Checks the active account |
| list_ms_accounts | Lists the accounts you can use |
After you connect, list the accounts and select one. If tools stop working later, connect again, because an expired authorization is the usual cause.
These steps use Claude to connect your ad account in Microsoft Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for Microsoft Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.
