Using AdsCove in ChatGPT

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed August 5, 2026

Available · Web OAuth · Mobile pending

ChatGPT developer mode can connect AdsCove as a custom MCP app on the web. Choose OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration, scan the tools, and approve AdsCove in the browser — no API key or Custom GPT Action is required.

OpenAI currently limits custom MCP apps to ChatGPT on the web. ChatGPT's iOS and Android apps cannot use a custom MCP app yet; this is a ChatGPT platform limitation rather than an AdsCove setting.

Connection details

Everything the connection needs, in one place — copy any line into your client or your agent:

MCP URL:      https://adscove.com/api/mcp
Authentication: OAuth 2.1 (no API key)
Client setup:   Automatic (Dynamic Client Registration)
Verify tool:    list_connections

Setup steps

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web and enable Developer mode in Settings (the exact section can vary by plan or workspace)
  2. Open Apps or Plugins, choose Create / +, name the app AdsCove, and paste the MCP URL below
  3. Choose OAuth and Dynamic Client Registration, then select Scan tools
  4. Sign in to AdsCove, approve access, finish creating the app, and enable AdsCove from the chat tools menu
App name: AdsCove
MCP server: https://adscove.com/api/mcp
Authentication: OAuth
Client registration: Dynamic Client Registration (DCR)

Or: hand it to your AI agent

Don't want to configure it yourself? Paste the block below into the AI agent you're using (Claude, Cursor, an MCP agent, etc.) — it contains everything needed to set up the connection.

In ChatGPT web, enable Developer mode, create a custom MCP app named AdsCove with endpoint https://adscove.com/api/mcp, choose OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration, scan tools, and complete browser authorization. Then enable AdsCove in a chat and call list_connections.

Verify

Enable AdsCove in a web chat and ask: "check my platform connection status".

What you can do once connected

Check the business report, compare platform ROAS against real Shopify orders, create paused ad drafts, and submit budget changes. Direct writes need confirmation; separately enabled guardrails can only auto-pause within your limits. Try: “Which ads lost money in the last 7 days?”
