Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications. Key features include: - Type Safety: Built on Pydantic for automatic data validation - MCP Support: Native support for Model Context Protocol servers - Streaming: Built-in support for streaming responses - Async First: Designed for async/await patterns ## 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 with an active API key - Basic familiarity with Python and async programming ### 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 Install the required libraries. What's happening: - composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Metaads - pydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool support - python-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env file ```bash pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenv ``` ### 3. Set up environment variables Create a .env file in your project root. What's happening: - COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates your agent to Composio's API - USER_ID associates your session with your account for secure tool access - OPENAI_API_KEY to access OpenAI LLMs ```bash COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here USER_ID=your_user_id_here OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ``` ### 4. Import dependencies What's happening: - We load environment variables and import required modules - Composio manages connections to Metaads - MCPServerStreamableHTTP connects to the Metaads MCP server endpoint - Agent from Pydantic AI lets you define and run the AI assistant ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() ``` ### 5. Create a Tool Router Session What's happening: - We're creating a Tool Router session that gives your agent access to Metaads tools - The create method takes the user ID and specifies which toolkits should be available - The returned session.mcp.url is the MCP server URL that your agent will use ```python async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Metaads composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["metaads"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") ``` ### 6. Initialize the Pydantic AI Agent What's happening: - The MCP client connects to the Metaads endpoint - The agent uses GPT-5 to interpret user commands and perform Metaads operations - The instructions field defines the agent's role and behavior ```python # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent metaads_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[metaads_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Metaads assistant. Use Metaads tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) ``` ### 7. Build the chat interface What's happening: - The agent reads input from the terminal and streams its response - Metaads API calls happen automatically under the hood - The model keeps conversation history to maintain context across turns ```python # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Metaads.\n") while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() ``` ### 8. Run the application What's happening: - The asyncio loop launches the agent and keeps it running until you exit ```python if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Complete Code ```python import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from composio import Composio from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHTTP load_dotenv() async def main(): api_key = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY") user_id = os.getenv("USER_ID") if not api_key or not user_id: raise RuntimeError("Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID in your environment") # Create a Composio Tool Router session for Metaads composio = Composio(api_key=api_key) session = composio.create( user_id=user_id, toolkits=["metaads"], ) url = session.mcp.url if not url: raise ValueError("Composio session did not return an MCP URL") # Attach the MCP server to a Pydantic AI Agent metaads_mcp = MCPServerStreamableHTTP(url, headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}) agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-5", toolsets=[metaads_mcp], instructions=( "You are a Metaads assistant. Use Metaads tools to help users " "with their requests. Ask clarifying questions when needed." ), ) # Simple REPL with message history history = [] print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n") print("Try asking the agent to help you with Metaads.\n") while True: user_input = input("You: ").strip() if user_input.lower() in {"exit", "quit", "bye"}: print("\nGoodbye!") break if not user_input: continue print("\nAgent is thinking...\n", flush=True) async with agent.run_stream(user_input, message_history=history) as stream_result: collected_text = "" async for chunk in stream_result.stream_output(): text_piece = None if isinstance(chunk, str): text_piece = chunk elif hasattr(chunk, "delta") and isinstance(chunk.delta, str): text_piece = chunk.delta elif hasattr(chunk, "text"): text_piece = chunk.text if text_piece: collected_text += text_piece result = stream_result print(f"Agent: {collected_text}\n") history = result.all_messages() if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Conclusion You've built a Pydantic AI agent that can interact with Metaads through Composio's Tool Router. With this setup, your agent can perform real Metaads actions through natural language. You can extend this further by: - Adding other toolkits like Gmail, HubSpot, or Salesforce - Building a web-based chat interface around this agent - Using multiple MCP endpoints to enable cross-app workflows (for example, Gmail + Metaads for workflow automation) This architecture makes your AI agent "agent-native", able to securely use APIs in a unified, composable way without custom integrations. ## 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 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) - [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 Pydantic AI? Yes, you can. Pydantic AI 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)
