Using AdsCove in Claude Code

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed August 5, 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 (recommended): OAuth 2.1 (no key needed)
Auth (fallback):    HTTP header Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key (only if OAuth is unavailable)
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

  1. Run the command below in your terminal
  2. Open /mcp in Claude Code, choose AdsCove, and complete OAuth in the browser
claude mcp add --transport http adscove https://adscove.com/api/mcp

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

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

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.

Configure Claude Code with: claude mcp add --transport http adscove https://adscove.com/api/mcp. Then open /mcp, complete OAuth in the browser, and call list_connections.

Verify

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

Connect ad platforms to Claude Code

Which ad platforms can I connect to Claude Code through AdsCove?

Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads, plus Shopify or WooCommerce store data and read-only Google Search Console. Add the single AdsCove server with claude mcp add once, then connect each account in AdsCove → Connections. Claude Code sees every connected account through the same server.

Can I connect Google Merchant Center to Claude Code?

Yes, through Google Ads. AdsCove discovers the Merchant Center accounts linked to your connected Google Ads customer, so Claude Code can read Shopping and Performance Max product performance by item, scan linked product inventory, exclude products, and prepare paused Standard Shopping drafts for approval. There is no separate Merchant Center login, and AdsCove does not edit your product feed.

Can I connect Taboola, X Ads, Adform, or LINE Ads to Claude Code with AdsCove?

Not today. AdsCove connectors cover Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Search Console. For other networks, use that vendor's own MCP server or API; Claude Code can run several MCP servers side by side, so AdsCove can stay connected next to them.

Do I need a separate MCP server for each platform?

No. One AdsCove server (https://adscove.com/api/mcp) covers every platform you connect in AdsCove. Adding or removing an ad account happens in AdsCove, not in your Claude Code config.

How do I check which platforms Claude Code can reach?

Ask Claude Code to check your platform connections. It calls list_connections, which is free and read-only, and lists each connected store and ad account with its status.

Can Claude Code change my campaigns once platforms are connected?

Reads run directly. Writes such as budgets, status changes, or new drafts come back as pending actions that you approve or reject, and new campaigns are created paused, so nothing goes live silently.

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?”
