AdsCove Skills & Workflows

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed August 5, 2026

AdsCove MCP gives your AI client authenticated Shopify, Meta, and Google tools. AdsCove skills and workflows tell the agent the safe sequence: check connections, read first, plan, create drafts or paused campaigns, then wait for approval before anything can go live.

MCP skills

These skills are built into the AdsCove MCP server. You do not install them locally. Once Codex is connected to AdsCove, ask for the workflow in plain language or call list_adscove_capabilities.

ad_campaign_manager

Ad Campaign Manager

Main AdsCove advertising operator skill: route performance analysis, campaign creation, keyword research, creative review, budget optimization, and account checks across Shopify, Meta, and Google.

brand_workspace_setup

Brand Workspace Setup

Bootstrap or refresh a brand workspace for AdsCove users: local brand context, connected account inventory, KPI targets, guardrails, and reusable strategy notes.

performance_review

Performance Review

Cross-platform performance scorecard for Shopify, Meta, and Google with actuals vs. targets, strategy drift, waste, winners, and top actions.

write_ad_copy

Write Ad Copy

Generate brand-voice Google/Meta ad copy from real keyword, search-term, campaign, and product data with platform character-limit validation.

Codex-side workflow for generating ad-ready ecommerce image assets, preparing channel aspect-ratio variants, and handing AdsCove HTTPS image URLs for Meta, Google PMax, Google Display, Shopify landing pages, or Ad Library launch batches.

daily_business_doctor

Daily Business Doctor

A daily cross-platform business checkup (Shopify/Meta/Google): real revenue vs. ad spend, surfacing problems with an action list.

meta_7day_audit

Meta Ads 7-Day Audit

Audit of Meta account structure and creative performance: winner/loser calls, fatigue signals, next test directions.

google_search_waste_finder

Google Search Waste Finder

Line-by-line search-term audit: high-spend zero-conversion terms and low-intent terms, producing a negative-keyword list.

budget_reallocation_plan

Budget Reallocation Plan

Look at real returns across platforms and produce a 'cut here, add there' budget-migration plan.

creative_winner_analyzer

Creative Winner Analyzer

Extract winner patterns from recent creative performance and produce a next-round test brief for designers/editors.

shopify_page_optimizer

Product Page CRO

Review a product page against orders and traffic, then propose copy and structure changes that can be saved as drafts.

weekly_growth_report

Weekly Growth Report

A report you can forward straight to a partner/client: numbers, change attribution, actions taken, next-week plan.

Copy-ready workflow prompts

Paste any of these into Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP client after connecting AdsCove:

Run an AdsCove performance review for the last 30 days. Compare Shopify real revenue against Meta and Google reported revenue, then show the top 3 actions.

Turn this landing page into complete Google Search ads. Analyze the page and product first, research and qualify keywords with AdsCove, split them into coherent ad groups, then map each cluster across 1-3 full RSAs and complete every relevant Search asset before creating paused resources.

Strengthen this Google PMax campaign. Keep one category per asset group; aim for 15 headlines, 5 long headlines, 5 descriptions, 4+ landscape, 4+ square, 2+ portrait images, CTA, paths, both logo shapes, 6+ sitelinks, up to 50 strong search themes, relevant audience signals, and owned horizontal/square/vertical videos. Validate and keep new resources paused through policy review.

Create a Meta launch plan for this Shopify product. Search targeting, choose image/video/carousel, validate assets, and create paused campaign objects after approval.

Find wasted spend across Google and Meta. Exclude learning-phase campaigns and low-data campaigns, then prepare negative keywords, pauses, and budget shifts for approval.

Install local Codex skills

These local skills cover work the remote MCP server cannot do by itself: reading browser DOM, using local image files, generating missing content, and validating a complete write package. Run this once on the machine where Codex is installed:

Connect MCP first

The local skills only tell Codex how to work. The actual Shopify, Meta, and Google permissions still come from your AdsCove MCP connection.

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

Local skills

Google Search ad designer

Analyze a landing page, research and qualify its product keywords, split them into page-aligned ad groups, map each cluster across 1-3 full RSAs, complete Search assets, and validate Quality Score readiness before a paused AdsCove draft.

Use the AdsCove Google Search ads skill. Analyze this landing page first, research and qualify its keywords with AdsCove, select coherent ad groups, then create 1-3 full RSAs and every relevant Search asset before preparing paused writes.

Ecommerce launch orchestrator

Turn an Ad Library or product URL into a complete Shopify, Meta, and Google launch package, fill missing copy/assets locally, validate exact variants and prices, then hand write-ready data to AdsCove.

Use the AdsCove ecommerce launch orchestrator skill. Deconstruct this URL, build and validate the complete Shopify/Meta/Google launch package, then dry-run AdsCove writes.

Meta Ad Library capture

Use local Codex/Chrome to capture visible Ad Library records, normalize them, then send a dry-run launch batch to AdsCove.

Use the AdsCove Meta Ad Library capture skill. Capture the visible ads in my Chrome tab, group products, then create a dry-run AdsCove launch batch.

Ad image generation

Generate or adapt ad-ready ecommerce images locally, direct-upload selected files to Meta/Google/Shopify, then pass platform asset IDs to AdsCove.

Use the AdsCove ad image generation skill. Generate Meta 1:1 and 4:5 images plus Google PMax 1.91:1, 1:1, and logo assets, then direct-upload after I confirm.

Important boundary

Remote MCP servers cannot read a customer's browser DOM or local image files by themselves. Codex runs locally, captures or creates the data with the user's browser/files, then sends structured records or direct-uploaded platform asset IDs to AdsCove. That is the safe, reusable flow for customers who use Codex.
