TikTok Ads Claude

PaidSync connects TikTok Ads Manager to Claude via MCP. Claude gets real-time access to your campaigns, ad groups, creatives, spend, and ROAS through conversation.

Setup time: 2 minutes. Free plan available. No credit card required.

How to connect TikTok Ads to Claude with PaidSync

This is the route through Claude's connector directory. No API key is needed, because Claude connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth).

Before you start

  • Any Claude plan works, including Free, and there is nothing to install.
  • Signing in with Google? There is no separate sign-up. You pick Continue with Google in step 2, and your free PaidSync account (15 tasks a month, no credit card) is created when you press Approve.
  • Prefer an email and password? Create the account at paidsync.ai/signup first. The sign-up link inside the sign-in window opens the website and does not bring you back to Claude.
  • Know which TikTok for Business login can open your TikTok ad accounts. You use it in step 3.
  • On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner first adds PaidSync for the organization under Organization settings, then Connectors. Each person then connects with their own PaidSync login.
1

Add PaidSync to Claude from the connector directory

Open PaidSync in the Claude connector directory and click Connect. Or, in claude.ai or the Claude Desktop app, open Customize, then Connectors, click + next to Connectors, search PaidSync, and click Connect.

Sign in with your PaidSync login. That OAuth sign-in is what lets Claude apply changes. Connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free.

Using Claude Code instead? Run claude mcp add --transport http paidsync https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, then type /mcp inside a session to sign in.

On a client with no directory, add PaidSync as a custom connector with the server URL instead (on a Team or Enterprise plan, only an Owner can add one):

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Save it, then sign in with your PaidSync login when Claude asks.

2

Sign in to PaidSync and press Approve

The PaidSync sign-in screen opens. Pick Continue with Google, or sign in with your PaidSync email and password. A PaidSync screen then asks whether to allow Claude to manage your ad accounts via PaidSync. Press Approve and Claude shows PaidSync as connected.

New to PaidSync and signing in with Google? Your free account (15 tasks a month, no credit card) is created when you press Approve. The screen also mentions ad accounts already connected inside PaidSync. On a new account that list is empty until you finish step 3.

Connect your TikTok Ads account and ask Claude

In any chat, ask: "Connect my TikTok Ads." Claude replies with a link that opens TikTok's own sign-in and consent screen. Authorize with your TikTok account, the TikTok for Business login that can open your ad accounts, and tick the advertiser accounts PaidSync may manage. PaidSync never sees your TikTok password.

Come back and ask: "List my TikTok advertisers." Claude uses list_tiktok_advertisers to show them and set_active_tiktok_advertiser to pick the one you name. Connecting accounts and picking one uses none of your tasks. Then try: "Show me my TikTok campaign performance for the last 7 days." You can also connect TikTok Ads from the PaidSync dashboard instead. Both routes use the same PaidSync login, so Claude sees the account either way.

Free plan includes 15 tasks per month. Pro plans from $99/month.

What Claude Can Do with TikTok Ads

  • Pull ROAS and spend by campaign. Claude queries TikTok Ads Manager and returns spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and ROAS broken down by campaign, ad group, or ad.
  • Identify underperforming creatives. Claude compares creative performance metrics and flags ads with declining CTR or rising CPC so you can refresh them before wasted spend accumulates.
  • Work on campaigns that already run. Claude pauses and enables campaigns, changes campaign and ad group settings, and moves budget toward what converts. New campaigns, ad groups and creatives are built in TikTok Ads Manager.
  • Adjust budgets and bids. Ask Claude to scale up your best-performing ad groups or pause the ones burning budget. Claude's own confirmation prompt is the human check before a change runs.
  • Ad-level reporting. Claude can pull performance at advertiser, campaign, ad group or ad level to show which ads deliver the best ROAS. PaidSync has no age, gender or placement breakdown for TikTok.

PaidSync is a verified TikTok Marketing Partner. The connection uses the official TikTok Ads API with approved partner access scopes.

TikTok Ads prompts to try in Claude

Each prompt runs on the PaidSync tools named after it and uses one or more of your tasks. Ad group changes preview as a dry run before they apply. Turning a campaign on or off needs an explicit confirmation first.

  1. "Show my TikTok campaigns from the last 7 days with spend, clicks, conversions and purchase value." Runs get_tiktok_performance at campaign level, which returns impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, CPM, spend, conversions, conversion rate and purchase value.
  2. "Which TikTok ad groups spent more than $100 in the last 7 days with no conversions?" Runs get_tiktok_performance at ad group level.
  3. "Rank my TikTok ads by conversion rate over the last 30 days, with spend and CTR next to each." Runs get_tiktok_performance at ad level.
  4. "List every ad group in the Spring Sale campaign with its status, budget and optimization goal." Runs list_tiktok_campaigns to find the campaign, then list_tiktok_adgroups.
  5. "Compare TikTok and Meta spend, conversions and CPA for the last 30 days." Runs get_cross_platform_performance, which reads PaidSync's daily data and totals each platform and each currency separately.
  6. "Preview raising the budget by 20 percent on every ad group whose purchase value was at least 2.5 times its spend last week. Do not apply it yet." Runs get_tiktok_performance, then update_tiktok_adgroup, which previews by default.
  7. "Preview lowering the bid on the Retargeting ad group to $0.80." Runs update_tiktok_adgroup. A bid change needs an ad group that uses a custom bid.
  8. "Turn the paused Summer Sale campaign back on." Runs enable_tiktok_campaign. Turning a campaign on restarts spend, so it needs an explicit confirmation before it runs.

Why use PaidSync for TikTok Ads in Claude

TikTok Marketing Partner. PaidSync holds TikTok Marketing Partner status. TikTok runs its own official MCP server, announced on 13 May 2026, that can create and change campaigns, for TikTok only. PaidSync manages existing TikTok campaigns with 13 tools (pause, enable, budgets, bids and names) next to Google, Meta and LinkedIn in one chat.

Built for cross-platform work. TikTok rarely runs alone. Most teams run it next to Meta and Google, so Claude can compare TikTok and Meta results in the same conversation.

One connection, 14 platforms. TikTok Ads plus Google Ads (152 tools), Meta Ads (83 tools), LinkedIn Ads (34 tools), Google Tag Manager (39 tools), GA4 (26 tools) and Merchant Center (16 tools), 630+ tools in one connection.

How do I connect TikTok Ads to Claude Code?

This guide is for the Claude app. Claude Code users should follow the TikTok Ads to Claude Code guide, which covers the setup, TikTok prompts with their tool names, and headless runs. The short version is one command:

claude mcp add --transport http paidsync https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Start a session, type /mcp, pick paidsync, and sign in with your PaidSync login in the browser window that opens. Claude Code stores the OAuth token for you. No key is pasted anywhere. The Claude Code setup page covers the shared .mcp.json for teams and a headless audit run.

Troubleshooting TikTok Ads in Claude

  • The sign-in fails. Sign in to PaidSync the way you signed up, with Continue with Google or with your PaidSync email and password. Email users without an account create one at paidsync.ai/signup first, then click Connect in Claude again. If TikTok's own consent screen fails, ask Claude "Connect my TikTok Ads" again for a fresh link.
  • Claude picked the wrong advertiser. Ask Claude to list your TikTok advertisers and switch to the one you mean, by name or ID. It runs list_tiktok_advertisers, then set_active_tiktok_advertiser, and every TikTok request after that goes to the advertiser you picked. Switching uses none of your tasks.
  • An advertiser account is not listed. PaidSync lists the advertisers that your TikTok login can open and that you ticked on TikTok's consent screen. Check in TikTok Business Center that your login has access to that ad account, or ask the Business Center admin to give it to you, then ask Claude to list your advertisers again. Still missing? Email support@paidsync.ai.
  • Claude says it has no TikTok tool. PaidSync shows Claude a short starter list of tools to keep the chat light. Ask Claude to call paidsync_context first. It returns your connected platforms and the full tool list, TikTok included, and Claude then runs those tools through paidsync_exec. If PaidSync is missing from Claude altogether, check that it shows as connected under Customize, then Connectors.
