Quickstart

What you'll have at the end: your own AI tool creating campaigns for you on Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit or X and answering from your real ad data.

Before you start

  • An ad account on Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit or X, and a login that can see it.
  • An AI tool that can add a remote MCP server: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code and others.
  • No card. The Free plan can make changes within its monthly limit.

1. Sign in

Open app.openadmanager.com and choose one:

  • Continue with Google: signs you in and connects your first Google Ads account in the same step.
  • Continue with Facebook: signs you in and connects your first Meta ad account.
  • Continue with email: we email you a one-time code. You can set a password later. You connect ad accounts in step 2.

Google shows a list of what OpenAdManager asks for. If you untick Google Ads access, sign-in still works and you can connect Google Ads later. Work Google account says "Access blocked"? Your Google Workspace admin has to allow OpenAdManager first.

2. Pick your ad accounts

  1. You see your ad accounts by name and ID, for example Spring Store · 123-456-7890.
  2. To add another platform, click its logo, sign in there and pick accounts.
  3. Ad images and video: your AI app can make them, if it can make images or video. Optional: connect your own Higgsfield account here for better video.

3. Choose what your AI can change

Every change is on to start (Full control). Turn any off in AI permissions, or tap a preset (Look only, Daily optimizer or Full control) or choose each one in What your AI can do. You can change it any time. What each switch does

Free can change ads too, within its monthly limit.

You can turn on optional two-step sign-in in your account settings. It protects your sign-in; your AI's changes do not need a code.

4. Add OpenAdManager to your AI

Pick your AI tool. Each one has two tabs: Install (a button or one command) and Manual (the URL and numbered steps). The address is always:

https://mcp.openadmanager.com/mcp

Your AI opens a sign-in window. Sign in to OpenAdManager and click Allow. On that screen you choose:

  • the workspace;
  • which ad accounts this AI tool may use;
  • its permissions: See your ad accounts and results and Create, edit and manage ads, on every plan within its limits. You can change what it can do any time in AI permissions.

Every app has its own guide: see all AI app guides.

Shortcut: you can do this step first. Add the URL to your AI tool, and sign in inside its sign-in window.

5. Check it works

In the dashboard, Add to your AI shows Waiting for first connection…, then ✓ Connected from Claude (or your tool). Now ask your AI:

Use OpenAdManager: list my ad accounts.

Then create your first campaign:

Use OpenAdManager: create a campaign for my business with three ad versions and a daily budget I can afford. Show it to me before you turn it on.

And later:

Which of my campaigns spent the most in the last 7 days, and what did each bring in?

If nothing happens, the dashboard shows the most likely fix.

If something goes wrong

  • "Needs authentication" in your AI tool → open its connector or MCP settings and click Connect / Authenticate again.
  • Your AI answers without using OpenAdManager → start the message with "Use OpenAdManager:", or turn OpenAdManager on in the chat's tools menu.
  • It shows the wrong account → in Connected accounts, choose which accounts this AI tool may use.
  • "Limit reached" → you used this month's MCP requests. The reply says the reset date and the next plan; upgrade from Billing.
