# Meta Ads (MCP)

> Connect AI tools to Meta Ads via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to manage campaigns, ad sets, ads, insights, and catalogs

## 🚀 Quickstart

Connect to the Meta Ads MCP server with Nango and call MCP tools in minutes. Meta Ads MCP uses the same OAuth app model as the Meta Marketing API — you'll need to register your own app.

**1. Create the integration**

In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) → *Configure New Integration* → *Meta Ads (MCP)*.

**2. Authorize Meta Ads**

Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) → *Add Test Connection* → *Authorize*, then log in to your Meta Business account. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

**3. Call the Meta Ads MCP API**

Make your first MCP request (initialize handshake). Replace the placeholders below with your [API key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

> [tab] cURL
>
> ```bash theme={null}
> curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/ads" \
>   -X POST \
>   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
>   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
>   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
>   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>   -d '{
>     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
>     "id": 1,
>     "method": "initialize",
>     "params": {
>         "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
>         "capabilities": {},
>         "clientInfo": {
>             "name": "nango-client",
>             "version": "1.0.0"
>         }
>     }
> }'
> ```

> [tab] Node
>
> Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:
>
> ```typescript theme={null}
> import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
>
> const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });
>
> const res = await nango.post({
>     endpoint: '/ads',
>     providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
>     connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
>     body: {
>         jsonrpc: '2.0',
>         id: 1,
>         method: 'initialize',
>         params: {
>             protocolVersion: '2024-11-05',
>             capabilities: {},
>             clientInfo: {
>                 name: 'nango-client',
>                 version: '1.0.0'
>             }
>         }
>     }
> });
>
> console.log(res.data);
> ```
