Using AdsCove in Claude Code

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed July 10, 2026

Available · MCP

The Claude agent in your terminal. One command connects it — ideal for technical sellers and agency teams.

Connection details

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

Endpoint (MCP):  https://adscove.com/api/mcp
Transport:       Streamable HTTP
Auth (option A): HTTP header  Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key   (key from console -> Keys)
Auth (option B): OAuth 2.1    (if the client supports remote-MCP OAuth; no key needed)
REST fallback:   POST https://adscove.com/api/v1/tools/{tool_name}   with the same Bearer header
Full catalog:    https://adscove.com/api/mcp?tools=full   (optional; default endpoint is faster and includes run_adscove_tool)
Verify tool:     list_connections   (free, read-only)

Setup steps

Generate an API key on the console Keys page
Run the command below in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http adscove https://adscove.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key"

JSON form for .mcp.json / claude mcp add-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adscove": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://adscove.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

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. Replace sk_live_MY_KEY with the key you generated.

Configure Claude Code with: claude mcp add --transport http adscove https://adscove.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_MY_KEY". If editing JSON directly, include "type": "http" next to "url". Then run /mcp and call list_connections.

Verify

Say: "check my platform connections" — Claude Code calls list_connections.

What you can do once connected

Check the business report, compare platform ROAS against real Shopify orders, create paused ad drafts, submit budget changes — every write needs your confirmation. Try: “Which ads lost money in the last 7 days?”
