Frequently asked questions

What is a Meta Ads MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes ad-platform actions as typed tools that AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can call. A Meta Ads MCP server lets the assistant read performance, build campaigns, upload creatives, and change budgets on Facebook and Instagram through conversation instead of Ads Manager clicks. PaidSync's Meta surface is 69 tools with full write access; Meta's own connector at mcp.facebook.com/ads covers 29 tools as of August 2026.

How many Meta Ads tools does PaidSync have?

69 live Meta tools, inside a server of 430+ tools across 13 platforms. The Meta set covers campaign lifecycle (including duplicate_fb_campaign), ad sets with budgets, schedules, and Advantage+ audience expansion, ads, creative production (image and video uploads, carousel creatives, dynamic creative via create_fb_dco_ad, pre-publish validation), custom, lookalike, and engagement audiences, automated rules, pixels and custom conversions, billing transactions, and performance reporting with breakdowns by placement, device, country, age and gender, and time.

How is PaidSync different from Meta's official ads MCP?

Meta's official connector (mcp.facebook.com/ads, launched April 29, 2026, open beta) is first party, free during beta, and Meta only, with 29 tools as of August 2026 covering reporting, campaign management, catalog management, and signal diagnostics. PaidSync is a third-party Meta Business Partner with 69 Meta tools plus 12 more platforms in the same session, including Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, GA4, GTM, and Search Console. If you advertise only on Meta, the official connector is a genuinely good free start. If you run Meta alongside anything else, PaidSync keeps it in one conversation.

Can I run PaidSync and the official Meta MCP together?

Yes. MCP clients such as Claude support multiple servers in the same workspace. Some teams connect Meta's free connector for one-off Meta-native tasks and use PaidSync as the daily driver for cross-platform work, audits, and conversion tracking setup. Nothing about either server blocks the other.

Is it safe to give an AI write access to a live Meta ad account?

PaidSync never applies a change without your confirmation. Every write is approval-gated in chat, most write tools support a dry_run preview that shows the planned change before anything touches the account, and destructive operations sit behind an explicit confirm_destructive step. You can revoke a session at any time. Read operations (listing campaigns, pulling reports) run without confirmation because they change nothing.

What does PaidSync's Meta tool set not cover?

Advantage+ creative enhancements (automatic text improvements, music, templates) are not exposed in create_fb_creative; Advantage+ audience expansion is supported via the advantage_audience parameter on ad set tools. Each create or update call operates on one object, so bulk changes across many ad sets are one call per ad set or a scheduled automated rule. Catalog sales ads and collection creatives are not in the tool set, and Instant Form lead ads are not documented. PaidSync also does no organic posting or Page management.

How much does the PaidSync Meta Ads MCP cost?

Free is $0 for 15 tasks a month with no card. Pro starts at $99/mo for 600 tasks, with 1,200 tasks at $149 and 4,000 at $199. Team starts at $249/mo for 5 seats and 6,000 shared tasks. Done For You is custom-priced, fully managed paid media. Every plan includes all 13 platforms; there is no per-account charge. Meta's official connector is free in open beta as of August 2026, on Meta only.

Which AI assistants work with the PaidSync Meta Ads MCP?

Claude (web, desktop, and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, and any client that speaks MCP. Connection guides for Meta specifically: connect Meta Ads to Claude and connect Meta Ads to ChatGPT.
