How to connect your Meta ads with Claude in a few steps
plus 3 prompts to try once connected
Meta has an official MCP server. It's a connector that lets Claude read your Meta ad account and make changes when you ask.
The easy win is reporting. Ask what you spent last week and what it brought in. You get the answer without opening Ads Manager.
Setting it up takes a couple of minutes and it works on every Claude plan.
How to connect it
In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector
Name it Meta and paste https://mcp.facebook.com/ads, then click Continue
Sign in with Facebook and pick the ad accounts Claude can use
Access is still rolling out, so some ad accounts might not see data yet.
What you can do
Ask about your ad results in plain words and break them down by placement, age or country
Find out what's unusual in your account this week
See how your ad sets compare with similar advertisers and which ads are losing in the auction
Check your pixel and Conversions API health
Find catalog errors that keep products out of your ads
Draft campaigns, ad sets and ads, which all start paused until you switch them on
Add the Shopify connector to the same Claude project and it can check what Meta reports against your orders and stock in Shopify.
Keep two things in mind. Claude can't see your ad images or videos. And numbers can come back wrong, so check them in Ads Manager before you act.

With your Shopify store
Add the Shopify connector to the same Claude project. Claude can then read your ad account and your store in one conversation.
That's where it gets more useful. Put Meta's reported purchases next to your Shopify orders for the same week. Or check stock on your best sellers before you raise a budget.
