You can do this in two different ways: - Via [Composio Connect](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code) - Direct and easiest approach - Via [Composio SDK](https://docs.composio.dev/docs?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=composio_sdk) - Programmatic approach with more control ## Also integrate Metaads with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR - Only one MCP URL to connect multiple apps with Claude Code with zero auth hassles. - Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Metaads to Claude Code ### Connecting Metaads to Claude Code using Composio 1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude ```bash claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Code? Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working. Key features include: - Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts - MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities - Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files - Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding - Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows ## 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. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Metaads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Metaads account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Metaads operations on your behalf. 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: - Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account - Composio API Key - A Metaads account - Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript ### 1. Install Claude Code To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system: ```bash # macOS, Linux, WSL curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash # Windows PowerShell irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex # Windows CMD curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd ``` ### 2. Set up Claude Code Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code: - Claude Code will open in your terminal - Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account - Complete the authentication flow - Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code ```bash cd your-project-folder claude ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code)) - USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier) ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here ``` ### 4. Install Composio library No description provided. ```python pip install composio-core python-dotenv ``` ```typescript npm install @composio/core dotenv ``` ### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL No description provided. ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["metaads"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http metaads-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['metaads'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http metaads-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL No description provided. ```python python generate_mcp_url.py ``` ```typescript node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts # or if using tsx tsx generate_mcp_url.ts ``` ### 7. Add Metaads MCP to Claude Code In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is: - claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code - --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server - The server name (metaads-composio) is how you'll reference it - The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session - --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect. ```bash claude mcp add --transport http metaads-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY" # Then restart Claude Code exit claude ``` ### 8. Verify the installation Check that your Metaads MCP server is properly configured. - This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code - You should see your metaads-composio entry in the list - This confirms that Claude Code can now access Metaads tools If everything is wired up, you should see your metaads-composio entry listed: ```bash claude mcp list ``` ### 9. Authenticate Metaads The first time you try to use Metaads tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate. - Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Metaads - It will show you an authentication link - Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it) - Complete the Metaads authorization flow - Return to the terminal and start using Metaads through Claude Code Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Metaads operations in natural language. For example: - "Get ad performance insights for last week" - "Create a new campaign for summer sale" - "Pause all ads in underperforming campaigns" ## Complete Code ```python import os from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID") composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) composio_session = composio_client.create( user_id=USER_ID, toolkits=["metaads"], ) COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}") print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:") print(f'claude mcp add --transport http metaads-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"') ``` ```typescript import 'dotenv/config'; import { Composio } from '@composio/core'; const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env; if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) { throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env'); } const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY }); const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, { toolkits: ['metaads'], }); const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url; console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`); console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`); console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http metaads-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`); ``` ## Conclusion You've successfully integrated Metaads with Claude Code using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Metaads directly from your terminal using natural language commands. Key features of this setup: - Terminal-native experience without switching contexts - Natural language commands for Metaads operations - Secure authentication through Composio's managed MCP - Tool Router for dynamic tool discovery and execution Next steps: - Try asking Claude Code to perform various Metaads operations - Add more toolkits to your Tool Router session for multi-app workflows - Integrate this setup into your development workflow for increased productivity You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom workflows, or building automation scripts that leverage Claude Code's capabilities. ## How to build Metaads MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Adrapid](https://composio.dev/toolkits/adrapid) - Adrapid is a platform for rapid creation of digital marketing visuals using templates.

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 Code? Yes, you can. Claude Code 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
