## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Metaads to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Metaads agent that can get ad performance insights for last week, create a new campaign for summer sale, pause all ads in underperforming campaigns through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Metaads account through Composio's Metaads MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Metaads
- Configure an AI agent that can use Metaads as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Metaads operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Metaads MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Metaads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Meta Ads account. It provides structured and secure access to your advertising assets, so your agent can perform actions like creating campaigns, managing ads, analyzing insights, and handling audiences on your behalf.
- Automated campaign and ad creation: Quickly launch new campaigns, ad sets, and ads—including image, video, carousel, and collection formats—without manual setup.
- Real-time ad performance insights: Instantly retrieve analytics and detailed insights for any ad account, campaign, ad set, or individual ad to monitor and optimize your strategies.
- Audience management and targeting: Effortlessly create and update custom audiences, from customer lists to website visitors, so your ads reach the right people.
- Campaign control and optimization: Pause or delete campaigns and creatives, allowing your agent to manage spend and keep your advertising up to date.
- Creative asset automation: Generate, fetch, or remove ad creatives on the fly, making it easy to test new visuals or messaging across your campaigns.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `METAADS_CREATE_AD` | Create Ad | Create a new ad within an ad set using the meta marketing api. supports various ad formats including image, video, carousel, and collection ads. |
| `METAADS_CREATE_AD_CREATIVE` | Create Ad Creative | Create a new ad creative using the meta marketing api. ad creatives are reusable visual and interactive elements that define how your ad looks and behaves: - can be used in multiple ads - support various formats (image, video, carousel) - include text, media, and call-to-action buttons - must follow meta's ad policies |
| `METAADS_CREATE_AD_SET` | Create Ad Set | Create a new ad set within a campaign using the meta marketing api. supports detailed targeting options, budgets, and optimization goals. |
| `METAADS_CREATE_CAMPAIGN` | Create Campaign | Create a new advertising campaign using the meta marketing api. supports various campaign objectives, budgets, and bidding strategies. |
| `METAADS_CREATE_CUSTOM_AUDIENCE` | Create Custom Audience | Create a new custom audience using the meta marketing api. supports various types of custom audiences including customer lists, website visitors, and app users. |
| `METAADS_DELETE_AD_CREATIVE` | Delete Ad Creative | Delete ad creative |
| `METAADS_DELETE_CAMPAIGN` | Delete Campaign | Delete an advertising campaign using the meta marketing api. this marks the campaign as deleted, which prevents it from delivering ads. note that deleted campaigns are not permanently removed from meta's systems and can still be viewed in reports. |
| `METAADS_GET_AD_CREATIVE` | Get Ad Creative | Get ad creative |
| `METAADS_GET_INSIGHTS` | Get Insights | Get insights data for a meta ads object (ad account, campaign, ad set, or ad) using the meta marketing api. supports various metrics, breakdowns, and filtering options with flexible date ranges. |
| `METAADS_PAUSE_CAMPAIGN` | Pause Campaign | Pause an advertising campaign using the meta marketing api. this stops the campaign from delivering ads but allows it to be resumed later. all child ad sets and ads will also be paused with an effective status of campaign paused. |
| `METAADS_PREVIEW_AD_CREATIVE` | Preview Ad Creative | Preview ad creative |
| `METAADS_READ_ADSETS` | Read Ad Sets | Retrieve ad sets from a meta ad account using the marketing api. returns information about the ad sets including their status, targeting, and other properties. |
| `METAADS_RESUME_CAMPAIGN` | Resume Campaign | Resume a paused advertising campaign using the meta marketing api. this sets the campaign status to active so it can deliver ads again. note that child ad sets and ads that were previously active will also resume delivery, but those that were individually paused will remain paused. |
| `METAADS_UPDATE_AD_CREATIVE` | Update Ad Creative | Update ad creative |
| `METAADS_UPDATE_CAMPAIGN` | Update Campaign | Update an existing advertising campaign using the meta marketing api. allows modification of campaign properties like name, status, budget, and bidding strategy. only the fields that need to be updated should be included in the request. |
| `METAADS_UPLOAD_AD_IMAGE` | Upload Ad Image | Upload an image for use in meta ad creatives using the marketing api. the image can later be referenced by its hash when creating ad creatives. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Metaads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Metaads. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Metaads operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Metaads account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Metaads MCP?

With a standalone Metaads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Metaads tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Metaads and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK 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 Metaads tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Metaads while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Metaads scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Metaads data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
