Setting Up AdChat with ChatGPT
ChatGPT supports MCP servers, letting you connect your Facebook Ads data directly into your conversations.
Step 1: Get Your MCP Config
Log into your AdChat dashboard and navigate to API Keys. You'll find your MCP server URL and API key there.
Step 2: Add AdChat to ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT (desktop app or web)
- Go to Settings -> MCP (or Connections)
- Click Add MCP Server
- Enter the server URL:
https://mcp.adchat.app/mcp - Add the authorization header with your API key:
Bearer adchat_YOUR_API_KEY
Step 3: Start a Conversation
Open a new chat and ask about your ads:
How did my campaigns perform this week?ChatGPT will pull your live ad data through AdChat and answer with specific numbers from your account.
Write Access
By default, AdChat is read-only — ChatGPT can view your data but cannot make changes. To enable write access (creating campaigns, updating ads, etc.):
- Go to your AdChat dashboard
- Navigate to API Keys
- Toggle Write Access on
Tips
- ChatGPT will show a tool-use indicator when it's querying your ad data
- You can ask follow-up questions — the context carries through the conversation
- For best results, mention specific campaigns or time periods
