Connect your Meta Ads account via OAuth

In your PaidSync dashboard, click Connect Meta Ads. Sign in with the Facebook account that owns your Meta Business portfolio. PaidSync requests ads_management and ads_read permissions for read and write access. Your credentials are never stored by PaidSync.

Copy your PaidSync API key

Add PaidSync to Perplexity

In Perplexity (perplexity.ai), go to Settings → MCP Tools or Integrations. Add a new MCP server and paste the endpoint:

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp?api_key=ps_your_key_here

Perplexity loads PaidSync tools and confirms the connection on the next session start.

Beyond Meta's Own MCP

Meta released an official MCP server in 2025. It covers Meta's own properties and is read-oriented. PaidSync takes a different approach: 8 platforms, read and write, with the same API key across all of them.

That means Perplexity can audit your Meta ad sets and then immediately compare CPAs against your Google Ads campaigns and LinkedIn Ads in the same conversation. When it spots that your Meta cost per lead is 40% higher than LinkedIn for the same audience, it can suggest a budget reallocation and execute the change after your approval.

That cross-platform analysis is not possible with Meta's own MCP, which operates in isolation.

What Perplexity Can Do with Meta Ads

Wasted spend audit. Perplexity pulls your last 14 days of ad set data and flags segments with CPAs above your target, frequency above 4, or CTR below 0.5%. It returns a ranked list sorted by waste in dollar terms.
Cross-platform CPA comparison. With Google Ads also connected, Perplexity can compare your Meta CPA to Google CPA for the same product line. It tells you which channel is cheaper by how much and suggests a reallocation.
Audience performance breakdown. Perplexity returns spend and conversion rates segmented by age, gender, placement, and device. It highlights the top 3 performing segments by ROAS.
Creative fatigue detection. Perplexity checks frequency, CTR trend over 14 days, and relevance scores across your active ad creatives. It flags which ads are showing fatigue signals before performance drops.
Budget reallocation. "Move 20% of spend from the two lowest-ROAS ad sets to the top performer" runs as a real change after your confirmation. Perplexity shows you the numbers before executing.
