Setting Up AdChat with ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP servers, letting you connect your Facebook Ads data directly into your conversations.

Step 1: Get Your Server URL

Log into your AdChat dashboard and copy the Server URL (it looks like https://mcp.adchat.app/mcp?token=adchat_xxx).

Step 2: Enable Developer Mode

1. Open chatgpt.com/#settings/Connectors (or go to Settings -> Apps)

1. Click Advanced settings

1. Toggle Developer mode on

Step 3: Create the AdChat App

1. Go back to Apps and click Create app

1. In the New App dialog:
   • Set the Name to AdChat
   • Paste your Server URL into MCP Server URL
   • Leave Authentication as No Auth (the token is in the URL)
   • Check the confirmation box and click Create

Step 4: 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.):

1. Go to your AdChat dashboard
2. Navigate to API Keys
3. 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
