Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Linkedin Ads account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list active campaigns with daily spend, compare ad performance by campaign objective, create report for sponsored content clicks, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your Linkedin Ads account

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List active campaigns with daily spend"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Linkedin Ads account is ready to use.

What is the Linkedin Ads Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Linkedin Ads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkedin Ads account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Linkedin Ads operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Linkedin Ads?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Linkedin Ads conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Linkedin Ads again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Linkedin Ads connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Linkedin Ads.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Linkedin Ads.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Linkedin Ads authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Linkedin Ads account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Linkedin Ads connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Linkedin Ads authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Linkedin Ads sign-in.

4. Why do Linkedin Ads actions fail after they worked before?

The Linkedin Ads connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Linkedin Ads connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Linkedin Ads account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Linkedin Ads.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Linkedin Ads itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Linkedin Ads account?

Claude can manage the Linkedin Ads connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Linkedin Ads account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Linkedin Ads again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Linkedin Ads.
  • Sign in with the other Linkedin Ads account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Linkedin Ads task.

6. Why is my Linkedin Ads connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Linkedin Ads connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Linkedin Ads tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Linkedin Ads.

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Linkedin Ads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Linkedin Ads tools tied to that server.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Linkedin Ads tools.
