## Introduction

### How to integrate Metaads MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Metaads account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can get ad performance insights for last week, create a new campaign for summer sale, pause all ads in underperforming campaigns, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Metaads integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Metaads to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Metaads account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Metaads to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Metaads MCP server?

A standalone Metaads MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Metaads tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Metaads and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Metaads data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Metaads data and credentials are handled to that standard.
