This is how to set device bid adjustments in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to set device bid adjustments for a campaign, as the complete set of three that Microsoft requires. All three percentages are required together, and the change previews first.

Which Tools Do the Work

Device bids need all three rows or none. The tool reads the current set and then writes the whole set:

get_ms_campaign_segmented_performance only reads your account. set_ms_device_bid_adjustments changes it. Claude calls these to set device bid adjustments.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
get_ms_campaign_segmented_performanceShows results by device
set_ms_device_bid_adjustmentsApplies the set after the preview

Microsoft creates nothing if the three are not supplied together, so a partial request would silently do nothing. The tool therefore asks for all three percentages. Setting them at ad group level overrides the campaign for that ad group.

How to Set Device Bid Adjustments in Microsoft Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to set device bid adjustments 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.

1

Connect Microsoft Ads to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Microsoft Ads on Microsoft's own sign-in screen. Use a Microsoft login that can reach the account where you want to set device bid adjustments.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Install PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Microsoft Ads accounts" and select the account to set device bid adjustments in.

3

Read device results

Ask for results by device over a range long enough to have volume.

4

Choose three percentages

Pick a percentage for computers, smartphones and tablets.

5

Preview and apply

Read the dry run and confirm.

How to Check the Result

Re-run the device split after a few weeks and compare cost per conversion for each device.

Use these two prompts to set device bid adjustments in Microsoft Ads, in this order.

"Show Microsoft Ads results by device for campaign 345678901 over the last 30 days."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Set device bid adjustments on campaign 345678901 to computers 0, smartphones minus 20 and tablets minus 10, as a preview."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
