Before you connect
- An AdStellar account on an active plan or trial. Start a trial if you do not have one.
- A Meta ad account connected in Integrations and at least one synced campaign, so there is performance data to read.
- To grant write access (pausing ads, changing budgets, launching campaigns), you must be an owner or admin of the team. Members can grant read-only access.
Connect from the Connectors directory
- In Claude, open Customize > Connectors and search for AdStellar.
- Choose Connect. Claude opens the AdStellar consent screen in a new window.
- Sign in to AdStellar if asked, then pick the team, the workspaces, and the permissions you want Claude to have.
- Choose Allow. Claude returns to the conversation with AdStellar connected.
Connect as a custom connector
If your organization installs connectors by URL, use:Connect from Claude Code
/mcp inside Claude Code to complete sign-in and check the connection status.
What you can ask
“How did my Meta campaigns perform over the last 7 days, grouped by campaign?”
“Which ad sets had a CPA over $40 this week? Show me the list, then pause them.”
“Raise the daily budget on my best-performing campaign by 20 percent.”
“Write 5 headline variants for my default brand kit in a bold tone.”
“Build a sales campaign for my main product at $50 per day and walk me through the preview before launching.”
“Whenever a campaign spends 40 over 7 days, suggest pausing it and let me approve.”
What the connector can do
Write tools are two-step: the first call returns a preview and a confirmation token, and nothing changes until Claude calls again with that token after you confirm. Launches publish paused by default so you can review them in Meta Ads Manager first.
Not included in the Claude connector
AI image and video generation are not part of the Claude connector, in line with the Connectors directory policy on AI media generation. Generate creatives in the AdStellar app (Creative Hub) or through the full MCP server athttps://app.adstellar.ai/api/mcp, then reference the resulting assets from Claude with search_assets when you build a campaign.
Permissions
The consent screen lists every permission Claude asks for. The connector never sees your Meta access token; AdStellar acts on your ad account with the Meta authorization you already granted in the app. Write permissions are only offered to team owners and admins. See Authentication for the full scope list and token lifetimes.Troubleshooting
- “Meta integration is disconnected”: reconnect your Meta account in Integrations. Read tools keep working on synced data; write tools need a live connection.
- A write tool says a permission is missing: Claude will ask you to re-authorize with the extra permission. Only owners and admins can grant write permissions.
- No campaigns appear: performance data comes from the AdStellar sync. Open Ads Manager in AdStellar once to trigger a sync for a newly connected ad account.
