How to Connect Facebook Ads to Claude with MCP
Connect Facebook Ads to Claude with the Data Bloo MCP and pull impressions, spend, ROAS and campaign performance straight from the chat, no exports, no dashboards. It's read-only, so it's safe, and here's the 2-minute setup.
Your Data Bloo MCP URL
Paste this into Claude when you add a custom connector. Then expand Advanced settings and enter 43 in the OAuth Client ID field, leave the Client Secret blank. That's the whole secret; everything below is just where to click.
What connecting Facebook Ads to Claude actually means
You can ask Claude about your Facebook Ads and get a real answer, pulled from your actual account, in seconds. Type "how did my Facebook Ads do last month" and Claude reads your numbers and tells you, no CSV export, no dashboard to open. The connection runs through the Data Bloo MCP, takes about two minutes to set up, and it's read-only, so Claude can analyze your campaigns but can never change them.
Want Claude to actually manage campaigns, create and pause ads? Use Meta's official connector. Want Claude to read, analyze and report on Facebook Ads, blend them with your other channels, and feed the same data to your Data Studio dashboards? That's Data Bloo, and that's what the rest of this guide covers.

Three ways to connect Facebook Ads to Claude
There are three real options, built for different people. Here's the honest version, including the case where the answer isn't us, so you pick the right one the first time.
A connector like Data Bloo
Connect once and your Facebook Ads data, plus every other source in Data Bloo, is available to Claude any time. Read-only, blends across channels, and the same connection feeds your Data Studio reports.
Meta's official MCP
Meta launched an official MCP server on April 29,2026 at mcp.meta.com/ads. Around 29 tools that read and manage campaigns (new ones land paused). The trade-off: it writes to your account, it's Meta-only, and it needs a paid Claude plan.
A manual CSV export
Pull a report from Ads Manager, save the file, upload it to Claude. Free, and it works once. Then you do it again next week, separately for every account.
Data Bloo vs Meta's official MCP vs a manual export
The bottom line: if you want Claude to manage campaigns, Meta's connector does that. If you want Claude to read and report on your marketing, across Facebook and everything else, and feed the same data to your dashboards, that's Data Bloo.
When to use Meta's official MCP instead
Data Bloo isn't the right tool for everyone. If your goal is to have Claude build, edit and pause campaigns, not just report on them, Meta's own connector is built for exactly that. Launched April 29,2026 at mcp.meta.com/ads, it authenticates directly with your Meta Business account over OAuth, needs no Developer App approval, and exposes around 29 tools for campaign management, product catalogs and performance. Anything Claude creates through it starts paused, so nothing goes live until you flip the switch in Ads Manager.
The trade-offs are real. It writes to your account, the exact risk Data Bloo removes by staying read-only. It only sees Meta, so it can't blend Facebook with your other channels. The beta rolls out gradually, so your account may not have access yet, and it needs a paid Claude plan. Plenty of teams run both: Meta's connector to act on campaigns, Data Bloo to read, blend and report across everything.
What you need
Three things, and you probably already have them.
How to connect Facebook Ads to Claude
Pick your Claude client. Desktop & Web are easiest for most marketers; Claude Code is a one-liner for developers.
Launch Claude Desktop or claude.ai. In the chat input, click the + icon on the left to open the tools menu.
Hover over Connectors, then click Manage connectors to open your connector settings.
Click the small + at the top of the connector list, then choose Add custom connector.
Type Data Bloo in the Name field. That’s how you’ll find it inside any conversation later.
In the Remote MCP server URL field, paste https://mcp.databloo.com/mcp. Then expand Advanced settings and enter 43 in the OAuth Client ID field, leave the Client Secret blank.
Claude opens your browser on Data Bloo’s sign-in page, sign in and approve so Claude can read your data. You sign in once.
Start a new chat and try: "Using Data Bloo, pull impressions, clicks and spend for my Facebook Ads account for the last 30 days." Claude returns a table plus a short analysis.
Open your terminal and run:
claude mcp add --transport http databloo https://mcp.databloo.com/mcp
Next time you start a Claude Code session, Claude opens your browser to sign in to Data Bloo. Sign in once, the connection persists across sessions.
Run /mcp, you should see databloo with status connected.
Confirm it works: in a fresh chat, ask "Using Data Bloo, list all the Facebook Ads accounts I have connected." If Claude returns your accounts, you're fully connected.

Seven read-only tools, why this can't get you banned
You just ask in plain language, Claude picks the right tool. The typical flow: list_data_sources → get_connector_accounts → list_fields → query_data.
get_userlist_data_sourcesget_connector_accountslist_fieldsquery_datalist_accountsget_datesRead-only, always. Claude can pull and analyze your Facebook Ads, it can never pause a campaign, edit a budget or change any account setting. Nothing Meta could ever flag.
Read-only safety and your dashboards, in one connection
The write-capable tools make you choose: hand an AI the keys to your ad account, or keep exporting by hand. Data Bloo doesn't ask you to choose. It reads, it reports, and the exact same connection already powering your Data Studio dashboards now answers questions in Claude.
It can't touch your account
All seven tools are read-only. Claude pulls and analyzes your Facebook Ads, but it can't pause a campaign, move a budget or change a setting, so there's no wrong instruction that could put your account at risk. No safety checklist to memorize, because there's nothing to switch off.
One connection, two surfaces
The Facebook Ads source you built for Data Studio is the same one Claude reads. No second setup, no second bill, and the numbers Claude quotes always match the dashboards you send clients. It's the one thing a Meta-only, write-first tool structurally can't give you.
What Facebook Ads data you can pull
The same metrics you use in your reports, sliced by campaign, ad set, ad, placement, country, age, gender and date.
Impressions, link clicks, frequency, CTR, CPC, CPM and amount spent.
Purchases, website purchases, leads, page engagements, content views, app installs, plus purchase value, so ROAS comes through when your account tracks it.
Campaign, ad set, ad, publisher platform, device, country, region, age and gender.
Meta ads serve across Facebook and Instagram, split them with the publisher-platform breakdown to see each side by side.
What Claude actually gives you back
Three real prompts and the kind of answer Claude returns once Facebook Ads is connected through Data Bloo, numbers, then a plain-language read.
Claude: Last 30 days on Facebook Ads, 1,284,502 impressions, 21,940 link clicks and €16,467 spent. That’s a 1.71% CTR at €0.75 CPC, up 7% on the prior period.
Claude: Highest, Retargeting · Cart Abandoners at 3.4% CTR. Lowest, Prospecting · Broad at 0.6%. The retargeting set drives about 4× the click-through at roughly a third of the CPC.
Claude: Facebook, €9,880 spend, 812 purchases, €12.17 cost per purchase. Instagram, €6,587 spend, 415 purchases, €15.87 cost per purchase.

Built for how you actually work
Same connection, different job to be done. Here's the prompt each type of marketer tends to start with.
Agencies
Pull and compare across every client account without switching logins, then draft the monthly report in the chat.
E-commerce & DTC
Track ROAS and purchase value by campaign, spot the sets quietly burning budget, and line spend up against store revenue.
Lead gen & B2B
Watch leads and cost per lead by campaign, and catch a rising cost per lead before it eats the month’s budget.
Common issues and fixes
You’re likely not signed in yet, or Facebook Ads isn’t connected in Data Bloo. Ask "Using Data Bloo, list the accounts I have connected." If it comes back empty, open Data Bloo, confirm your Facebook Ads source is connected, then try again.
Small gaps are normal. Attribution windows differ, time zones shift which day a number lands in, and Ads Manager keeps updating recent figures as conversions come in. For trends, comparisons and reporting the Data Bloo pull is solid; for the last few hours of a live campaign, Ads Manager is freshest.
If an account doesn’t track purchase value, Data Bloo omits ROAS rather than showing a misleading zero. Ask for spend and purchases instead, or enable purchase-value tracking on the account.
That’s on purpose. The connection is read-only. If you need to create or pause ads from chat, that’s Meta’s official connector, not this.
