How to Connect LinkedIn Ads to Claude (Every Option, September 2026)

Which option should you pick

Our pick for most teams is PaidSync. Pick something else if one of the narrower cases after it fits you better. The facts behind each pick, with links to each vendor's own pages, are in the sections and the table below.

• PaidSync, our pick for most teams. We pick it because with PaidSync, Claude builds and runs your LinkedIn campaigns, not just reports on them. It creates campaign groups, campaigns and Sponsored Content ads (single image, video, text-only, or a sponsored existing post), plus conversion rules and lead gen forms, where Windsor.ai states it does not create campaigns, groups or creatives. It gives Claude 17 LinkedIn write tools, covering budgets, bids, bid strategy, run dates, targeting, ad text and status. Setup is Connect in Claude's directory, a PaidSync sign-in and a LinkedIn sign-in, with no API key. By default, new campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, and budget edits run as a preview first. Live pauses and enables need an explicit confirmation flag. On LinkedIn, a draft never serves or spends, and the same PaidSync login makes changes on Google Ads and Meta once you connect them. Free for 15 tasks a month with no credit card, then priced by usage, from $99 a month for 600 tasks. What to know. PaidSync does not read the leads inside lead gen forms, and it has no LinkedIn delete tool. The Free plan stops at 15 tasks a month.

Pick something else if one of these narrower cases fits you better.

• You need the leads themselves (names, emails and answers) from LinkedIn lead gen forms. PaidSync cannot read them; it counts leads and cost per lead. Markifact, AdPlug and Ryze AI say they retrieve form responses in the chat, and Zapier and Make can send each new response to a CRM or a sheet.
• You mainly want reporting across many data sources, with some LinkedIn changes on top. Pick Windsor.ai or Supermetrics. Windsor.ai pauses and enables campaign groups, campaigns and creatives and sets budgets, but does not create campaigns. Supermetrics says it connects more than 170 data sources, and on LinkedIn it creates Sponsored Content campaigns paused, pauses ad sets and adjusts budgets and targeting.
• You only need reports and want nothing that can change the account. Pick Coupler.io, which is Verified and read-only, or Adzviser, which is read-only and has a dedicated LinkedIn Ads connector in Claude's directory. Coupler.io lists a free plan, but its MCP page says AI access needs at least its Professional plan, so check which plan you need.
• You are a developer and want to run your own server. LinkedIn publishes none. Build on LinkedIn's Advertising API, or start from the open-source linkedin-ads-mcp server (MIT licence) with your own developer app. Until LinkedIn grants your app the Standard tier, it can edit only five ad accounts.
• You want LinkedIn's own tool. There is none in Claude. LinkedIn's own app, LinkedIn Ads, is in ChatGPT only and is a read-only beta.

Every way to connect LinkedIn Ads to Claude

Every route below was checked on 27 September 2026 against LinkedIn's or the vendor's own pages, and each vendor is linked so you can check it yourself. What a third-party tool can do is what that vendor says; we have not tested other vendors' tools.

LinkedIn's own route

LinkedIn has not published an MCP server for LinkedIn Ads as of 27 September 2026. Its Marketing API product list, its API change log up to version 202609 (updated 16 September 2026) and its developer blog mention no MCP server, AI agent, Claude or ChatGPT product. Searching Claude's connector directory for LinkedIn Ads returns no connector published by LinkedIn or Microsoft.

LinkedIn does publish a "LinkedIn Ads" app for ChatGPT. It is a beta with read-only access to ad set and ad performance, and it is not available in Claude. If you use both assistants, the LinkedIn Ads to ChatGPT guide covers it. Inside Campaign Manager, LinkedIn is also testing a marketing assistant for Accelerate ad sets, in English only and not yet in the European Union. It works inside LinkedIn, not in Claude.

Ad operators that read and make changes

These fit people who want Claude to act on the account, not only report on it. The label in brackets is the one Claude's directory shows. Anthropic tests Verified connectors for quality and compatibility and screens Community connectors before listing them (Anthropic's explanation).

• PaidSync.ai (Community). Our pick for most teams. Reads performance with breakdowns by job title, company, seniority, industry, country and region; changes budgets, bids, targeting and status; creates campaign groups, campaigns and Sponsored Content ads as drafts, plus conversion rules and lead gen forms. It does not read the leads inside lead gen forms. What it can and cannot do is set out below. Free for 15 tasks a month with no credit card, then priced by usage, from $99 a month for 600 tasks (pricing).
• Supermetrics (Verified). Says it gives Claude read and write access: create Sponsored Content campaigns, which start paused, pause ad sets, adjust budgets and update targeting. Its page describes lead form metrics such as completion rate. 14-day free trial with no credit card, then €49 a month, or €39 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Windsor.ai (Verified). Reads reports and has eight write actions: pause or enable campaign groups, campaigns and creatives, and set campaign group, daily or total budgets. It states it does not yet create campaigns, groups or creatives, or edit an ad's copy or image. The same free MCP server works in Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. Free plan for 1 user, 1 source and 1 account after a 30-day trial, then Basic at $23 a month, or $19 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Adspirer (Verified). Says it works in Claude as well as ChatGPT: it launches Sponsored Content and carousel campaigns paused for review, moves budget with confirmation, pauses and resumes, and targets across 19 LinkedIn facets. It cannot delete campaigns and does not push leads into a CRM. Free plan with 15 tasks a month, then Plus at $49 a month, or $40 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Markifact (Community). Says it creates campaign groups, campaigns and ads (single image, video, carousel, text, Spotlight, or a sponsored Company Page post), attaches existing lead gen forms, and holds every change until someone approves it. Its ChatGPT guide also lists a tool that retrieves leads. 200 one-time credits at sign-up, then Pro at $79 a month (pricing).
• AdPlug (not in Claude's directory by name, so you add it as a custom connector). Says it reads seven report types, creates, updates and deletes campaigns, creatives, audiences, targeting and budgets with a preview step, and pulls lead gen form responses. Free plan with 500 requests in the first month, then 50 a month, with edits view-only; Pro at $29 a month (pricing).
• Ryze AI (Community, though its listing does not name LinkedIn). Says its hosted LinkedIn Ads server, added by its URL, reads reports and lead gen form responses and makes changes with approval, including creating campaign groups, campaigns and creatives. Free to connect; its Paid Ads Autopilot is $89 a month (pricing).

Reporting connectors that only read

These fit analysis and client reporting, where nobody wants the assistant touching the account.

• Coupler.io (Verified). A read-only data flow from LinkedIn Ads (analytics, campaigns, creatives, conversions and a "Sponsored leads" report) that you set up in Coupler, with Claude as the destination. Free plan with 1 source and 100 rows per run, then Starter at $32 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly (pricing), though its MCP page says AI access needs at least its Professional plan.
• Adzviser (Community). Read-only reporting with 80 metrics and 44 breakdowns, and a dedicated "Adzviser LinkedIn Ads" connector in Claude's directory. 14-day trial for $0.99, then Starter at $59.99 a month, or $48.99 a month billed yearly (pricing).
• Whatagraph, Two Minute Reports and Data Bloo also offer read-only LinkedIn Ads connections for Claude. Data Bloo has a free plan; Whatagraph and Two Minute Reports offer free trials.

Porter Metrics, AdKit, Funnel and Dataslayer also appear when you search Claude's connector directory for LinkedIn. We did not check them in depth.

Automation tools for lead form responses

These fit moving new leads into a CRM or a sheet, not running campaigns. Both are Verified in Claude's directory.

• Zapier MCP. LinkedIn Ads triggers for new lead gen form responses, actions that add companies or contacts to an audience, and a "Create Report" action. No budget, pause, campaign or targeting actions. Each tool call uses two tasks from your Zapier plan (Zapier MCP); the free plan has 100 tasks a month (pricing).
• Make MCP. Runs scenarios you build in Make first. Its LinkedIn modules can update or reactivate a campaign, create event ad campaigns, generate one statistics report and watch lead form responses. Free plan with up to 1,000 credits a month, and Core at $10.59 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly (pricing).

Building your own on LinkedIn's Advertising API

Every tool above sits on this API, and developers can use it directly. LinkedIn's quick start lists the steps: create a LinkedIn Page, create a developer app, apply for the Advertising API under the app's Products tab, and complete the access form. Every app starts on the Development tier, which reads unlimited ad accounts but edits only up to five, each mapped to the app by ID. The Standard tier edits unlimited accounts; you request it through a support ticket with a video showing how your tool creates, edits or optimizes campaigns, and LinkedIn may still decline. All calls, at every tier, run on live production data.

Reading lead form responses is a separate product, the Lead Sync API, which needs a verified business email and a verified Company Page. Access tokens last 60 days by default. The open-source linkedin-ads-mcp server (MIT licence, 25 tools) runs on your own machine with your own developer app and approval. One date to plan around: LinkedIn sunsets Marketing API version 202510 on 15 October 2026.

LinkedIn Ads connectors for Claude compared

What each option can do on LinkedIn Ads, according to its own pages. Where a vendor shows both, prices are given monthly, then billed yearly, so they compare like for like.

Checked 27 September 2026 on each vendor's own pages and in Claude's connector directory. Third-party cells repeat what each vendor says; we did not test them. "Not stated" and "Not listed" mean the vendor's LinkedIn page did not say. Supermetrics showed us prices in euros. A PaidSync task is one request from Claude to PaidSync, and one prompt can use several. Prices and features change, so confirm on the vendor's site before you buy.

How to connect LinkedIn Ads to Claude with PaidSync

This is the route PaidSync supports today. There is no API key to copy at any point: Claude connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth), and LinkedIn is connected with LinkedIn's own sign-in.

Ten prompts to try on LinkedIn Ads

Each prompt below names the PaidSync tool Claude uses to answer it. The reports only read. When a prompt changes something, ask for a preview first, as prompts 7 and 8 do. Each prompt uses one or more of your tasks.

1. "Show my LinkedIn campaign performance for the last 30 days, with spend, clicks, CTR, CPC, website conversions and lead form leads by campaign." Uses get_linkedin_performance, which returns website conversions and lead form leads as separate numbers.
2. "List my LinkedIn lead gen forms, then show leads and cost per lead by campaign for the last 30 days." Uses list_linkedin_lead_forms and get_linkedin_performance. You get form names and lead counts, not the people who filled them in.
3. "Break down my LinkedIn leads by job title and seniority for the last 30 days." Uses get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension, which also splits by company, industry, country and region.
4. "Compare my LinkedIn ads from the last 14 days by CTR and cost per lead, and tell me which one to pause." Uses get_linkedin_performance_by_dimension with the creative breakdown.
5. "Show the targeting on my best LinkedIn campaign and how big that audience is." Uses get_linkedin_campaign_targeting and get_linkedin_audience_size.
6. "What does LinkedIn forecast for a new campaign aimed at marketing directors in Germany at $100 a day, and what bid does it suggest?" Uses get_linkedin_campaign_forecast, LinkedIn's own estimate with a low and a high range.
7. "Preview raising the daily budget of my best LinkedIn campaign by 20%. Do not apply it yet." Uses update_linkedin_campaign, which previews by default.
8. "Preview pausing every LinkedIn campaign whose cost per lead was above $150 this month." Uses get_linkedin_performance, then pause_linkedin_campaign as a preview.
9. "Draft a Sponsored Content campaign for IT directors in the UK with one single image ad and my existing lead form attached." Uses create_linkedin_campaign and create_linkedin_ad; by default both are created as drafts, which never serve or spend.
10. "Compare spend, CPA and ROAS for Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn over the last 30 days." Uses get_cross_platform_performance, which totals PaidSync's daily figures per currency.

What PaidSync can and cannot do on LinkedIn Ads

PaidSync has 34 LinkedIn tools, 15 that read and 17 that make changes. They act through your own LinkedIn sign-in, so every change is limited to what your role on the ad account allows. With them, Claude builds and runs your LinkedIn campaigns, from a new campaign group to its ads, budgets and targeting, not just reports on them.

What Claude can read

• Campaign performance: impressions, clicks, spend, CTR, CPC and conversions, with website conversions and lead form leads reported separately.
• Breakdowns by ad, campaign, company, job title, industry, seniority, country and region.
• Campaigns, campaign groups, ads with their media and full text, targeting, conversion rules, and lead gen forms (name, state, review status, headline and question count).
• The audience size of a targeting setup, and LinkedIn's own forecast for a new campaign with a suggested bid.

What Claude can change or create

• A campaign's name, status, run dates, budget, bid, ad rotation and bid strategy, plus its targeting and the conversions it tracks.
• An ad's text, destination, call to action, name and status. Campaigns can be paused and enabled.
• New campaign groups, campaigns and Sponsored Content ads (single image, video or text-only, or sponsoring an existing post), conversion rules and lead gen forms, plus image and video uploads.

What PaidSync does not do on LinkedIn

• It does not read the leads themselves (names, emails or answers) from lead gen forms, and it does not report form open or completion rates. It counts leads and cost per lead by campaign or ad.
• It does not delete campaigns. Pause them instead.
• The ads it builds are Sponsored Content. It does not build Message Ad or Dynamic Ad creatives.
• It does not manage Matched Audiences such as contact or company lists. Audience work means targeting criteria.

Safety defaults and what PaidSync stores

By default, new campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, and budget edits run as a preview first. On LinkedIn, that means new campaigns and ads are created as drafts, which never serve or spend. These are defaults, not locks: Claude can make a live change or create something active when you ask it to.

A few things apply at once: lead gen forms are published when created (a form alone never spends), a campaign group can be created active if you ask for it, and image or video uploads happen immediately. Live pauses and enables need an explicit confirmation flag. Claude's own per-tool approval setting is a second check you control; during Research, Claude can use connector tools without asking (Anthropic's guidance), so keep approval on for the PaidSync tools that change your account.

PaidSync never sees your LinkedIn password. It stores the access tokens LinkedIn issues, encrypted with AES-256 in Google Cloud (United States), and deletes them when you disconnect. You can also revoke access from your LinkedIn account settings. The privacy policy lists the daily account summaries it keeps.

Frequently asked questions

Turn it into a weekly routine

When a prompt gives you what you need, ask Claude to save it as a PaidSync workflow, for example "Save this as a workflow called Monday LinkedIn check". PaidSync keeps it as a named job you can run again from a chat or on a schedule. The workflows page lists twelve, including a daily budget pacing check that covers LinkedIn and a Monday report across all 14 platforms, and names the point where a person decides in each.
