Quickstart

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed August 5, 2026

From sign-up to the first successful task in about five minutes. OAuth is the default, so there is no API key to copy.

1. Create your AdsCove account

Sign up with Google or email. New accounts open the setup guide automatically and resume at the first unfinished step.

2. Give AdsCove to your agent

Paste this into Codex, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another MCP-capable agent. It reads the official setup guide and opens the OAuth link when your approval is needed.

Please connect AdsCove.

First, read https://adscove.com/agent.md in full. Follow its instructions to add https://adscove.com/api/mcp as a remote MCP server and complete OAuth authorization.

When I need to approve access, give me the authorization link directly. This works with Codex, Claude, Doubao Desktop, Gemini, Cursor, and eligible ChatGPT web accounts. After the connection succeeds, call list_connections and tell me which Shopify, Meta, or Google accounts still need to be connected.

Codex and Gemini CLI can also connect directly:

# Codex
codex mcp add adscove --url https://adscove.com/api/mcp
codex mcp login adscove

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user adscove https://adscove.com/api/mcp
# Then run /mcp auth adscove inside Gemini CLI
See the one-click guide and client-specific installation methods.

3. Connect one business account

Return to Onboarding and choose Shopify, Meta Ads, or Google Ads. Meta and Google use their standard sign-in and OAuth approval. For Shopify, follow the store-specific app instructions shown on the Connections page.

4. Run the first real task

Paste one of these into your connected agent. When AdsCove records the first successful business task, Onboarding marks the final step complete.

Check my platform connection status and tell me what is ready.

Review the last 7 days across every connected account. Show the three most important issues, the evidence, and the next action for each.

5. Approve before any live change

Reads can run after authorization. A real write first returns the exact pending change and an execution_id. Your agent must show that change and receive your explicit confirmation before AdsCove can execute it.

Only if OAuth is unavailable

Create an API key from Keys only for a client that cannot complete remote MCP OAuth. The client-specific documentation shows the fallback format; OAuth remains the recommended path.
