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.

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?”
