Tera Ads Connect is a remote MCP server for Meta Ads, covering Facebook and Instagram, at https://teraads.co/mcp.

Spend and results for each campaign over up to 30 days, as Meta reports them.

Returns by month
Returns (RTO) and estimated profit for each of the last 12 months, booked to the month the order was placed.
GoKwik checkout
For stores on GoKwik: orders through its checkout, how often each of its risk levels’ cash-on-delivery orders came back, and where shoppers leave it. Totals only, with no customer details.
Your latest AI report
Whether a report is ready and how many findings and suggestions it has. The full report stays in Tera Ads.
Live Meta ads
Your campaigns, ad sets and ads straight from Meta, each ad’s words and picture, results by age, gender, country or placement, and interests, behaviours and places to target.
Change your ads, or ask you first
Pause or turn on campaigns, ad sets and ads, change budgets, create campaigns, ad sets and ads (always paused) and copy what works. You choose per connection whether your AI makes changes itself or asks you first. Every change is logged, and a pause, turn-on or budget change can be undone for 7 days.
You decide what your assistant may change.
- When you connect, you choose: let your AI make changes, ask you first, or read only. You can switch a connection between the first two at any time under AI connections.
- Each change is checked against Meta right before it is made, made once and read back. Everything new starts paused and spends nothing until it is turned on.
- One budget change can at most triple a budget or cut it to a tenth, and assistants can make at most 50 changes a day to one business.
- Every change is logged in Tera Ads with who made it. A pause, turn-on or budget change can be undone for 7 days.
- Text from your ad accounts, such as campaign names, reaches the assistant as data. Tera Ads tells the assistant to treat it as data, not instructions. To see every change before it happens, choose Ask me first.
Sign-in, tokens and how to revoke access are on how Connect is secured.

Questions
- What is a Meta Ads MCP server?
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard way AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT use other apps. A Meta Ads MCP server gives your assistant tools to read your Facebook and Instagram ad account and, if you allow it, to change it.
- Is it free?
- Yes, for 30 calls a week, reset every week in UTC. A call is one lookup, and one question can take a few. Connect Pro raises the limit; the pricing page shows what it includes and its price in your currency.
- Do I need a Meta developer account or my own Meta app?
- No. You connect Meta Ads to Tera Ads with Facebook login and pick the ad account for the business. Your assistant then signs in to Tera Ads, never to Meta, so it never holds your Meta login.
- Can it change my ads without asking?
- Only if you choose that. When you connect, you pick: let it make changes, ask you first, or read only, and you can switch later under AI connections. Anything it creates starts paused, and one budget change can at most triple a budget or cut it to a tenth.
- Does it work with Google Ads?
- Google Ads spend counts in the profit your assistant sees, once Google Ads is connected to Tera Ads. Campaign-by-campaign lookups and ad changes are for Meta Ads today.
- Can my assistant see my customers?
- No. Store sales reach it as orders and order value, with no customer names, emails or addresses, and each connection reads only the one business you picked.
- Is Tera Ads in Claude’s or ChatGPT’s app directory?
- Not yet. You add it yourself with the address above: a custom connector in Claude, or an app in Developer mode in ChatGPT. It takes about a minute.
