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 CrewAI 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. ## 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 Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/metaads/framework/claude-code) - [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) ## TL;DR Here's what you'll learn: - Get a Composio API key and configure your Metaads connection - Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent - Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Metaads - Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Metaads operations ## What is CrewAI? CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews. Key features include: - Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories - Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs - Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows - MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol ## 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 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: - Python 3.9 or higher - A Composio account and API key - A Metaads connection authorized in Composio - An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM - Basic familiarity with Python ### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio OpenAI API Key - Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider. - 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. ### 2. Install dependencies **What's happening:** - composio connects your agent to Metaads via MCP - crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives - crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers - python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env ```bash pip install composio crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio - USER_ID scopes the session to your account - OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ### 4. Import dependencies **What's happening:** - CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow - MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint - Composio will give you a short lived Metaads MCP URL ```python import os from composio import Composio from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter import dotenv dotenv.load_dotenv() COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set") ``` ### 5. Create a Composio Tool Router session for Metaads **What's happening:** - You create a Metaads only session through Composio - Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Metaads tools ```python composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["metaads"]) url = session.mcp.url ``` ### 6. Initialize the MCP Server **What's Happening:** - Server Configuration: The code sets up connection parameters including the MCP server URL, streamable HTTP transport, and Composio API key authentication. - MCP Adapter Bridge: MCPServerAdapter acts as a context manager that converts Composio MCP tools into a CrewAI-compatible format. - Agent Setup: Creates a CrewAI Agent with a defined role (Search Assistant), goal (help with internet searches), and access to the MCP tools. - Configuration Options: The agent includes settings like verbose=False for clean output and max_iter=10 to prevent infinite loops. - Dynamic Tool Usage: Once created, the agent automatically accesses all Composio Search tools and decides when to use them based on user queries. ```python server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users search the internet effectively", backstory="You are a helpful assistant with access to search tools.", tools=tools, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) ``` ### 7. Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew **What's Happening:** - Interactive CLI Setup: The code creates an infinite loop that continuously prompts for user input and maintains the entire conversation history in a string variable. - Input Validation: Empty inputs are ignored to prevent processing blank messages and keep the conversation clean. - Context Building: Each user message is appended to the conversation context, which preserves the full dialogue history for better agent responses. - Dynamic Task Creation: For every user input, a new Task is created that includes both the full conversation history and the current request as context. - Crew Execution: A Crew is instantiated with the agent and task, then kicked off to process the request and generate a response. - Response Management: The agent's response is converted to a string, added to the conversation context, and displayed to the user, maintaining conversational continuity. ```python print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Complete Code ```python from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter from composio import Composio from dotenv import load_dotenv import os load_dotenv() GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID") if not GOOGLE_API_KEY: raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.") if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID: raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.") # Initialize Composio and create a session composio = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY) session = composio.create( user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["metaads"], ) url = session.mcp.url # Configure LLM llm = LLM( model="gpt-5", api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), ) server_params = { "url": url, "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}, } with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools: agent = Agent( role="Search Assistant", goal="Help users with internet searches", backstory="You are an expert assistant with access to Composio Search tools.", tools=tools, llm=llm, verbose=False, max_iter=10, ) print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") conversation_context = "" while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n" print("\nAgent is thinking...\n") task = Task( description=( f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n" f"Current request: {user_input}" ), expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request", agent=agent, ) crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False) result = crew.kickoff() response = str(result) conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n" print(f"Agent: {response}\n") ``` ## Conclusion You now have a CrewAI agent connected to Metaads through Composio's Tool Router. The agent can perform Metaads operations through natural language commands.

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 CrewAI? Yes, you can. CrewAI 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)
