The quick version. 8 minutes, no code, and the exact prompts to run first.
Meta opened its ads platform to AI assistants through a standard called MCP, so Claude can connect. It's not a Claude-only partnership. There's now an official Meta connector, in open beta and free, that lets Claude read and analyze your ad account in plain English.
The honest version: this collapses the reporting and diagnosis grind. It does not replace your strategy or your budget calls.
In Claude (Pro or Max), go to Settings, then Connectors.
It's listed in the connector directory. No API token, no code required.
Sign in with your Meta business account through the secure pop-up, and you're connected.
Show me every campaign with a ROAS under 2, frequency over 3.5, or CTR down more than 20% week on week.
Which ad sets are quietly draining budget with no conversions in the last 7 days?
Write a client-ready weekly report: spend, ROAS, CPA, top 3 and bottom 3 ads, and what changed since last week.
Check my pixel and Conversions API signal health and flag any weak event matching.
