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 Metaads account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to get ad performance insights for last week, create a new campaign for summer sale, pause all ads in underperforming campaigns, 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 Metaads account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Metaads or give it any Metaads-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Get ad performance insights for last week"
  • "Create a new campaign for summer sale"
  • "Pause all ads in underperforming campaigns"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

What is the Metaads Claude Connector, 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.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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 Metaads.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Metaads authorization link not work?

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

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

4. Why do Metaads actions fail after they worked before?

The Metaads connection can expire or lose permission.

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

5. How do I switch to a different Metaads account?

Claude can manage the Metaads connection for you.

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

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

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

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Metaads 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 Metaads.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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 Metaads tools.

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.

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.
