AdSpendsHow to connect AdSpends to ChatGPT in 3 steps
Add, sign in, ask. Add the AdSpends MCP link as a custom MCP server under Plugins, sign in with your AdSpends account, then mention @AdSpends in any chat. Setup takes about two minutes and needs no installs or API keys.
Add AdSpends as a custom MCP server
On chatgpt.com, open Plugins, click +, choose Add custom MCP server and paste the AdSpends MCP link. Pick OAuth as the authentication. You get the full toolset: ads, brands, landing pages and your saved boards.
AdSpends MCP link
https://app.adspends.com/api/mcpNo API key needed. Sign in to AdSpends when ChatGPT asks you to connect the plugin.
You add custom MCP servers on ChatGPT on the web. Pro accounts get read and fetch access, which covers AdSpends because every AdSpends tool is read-only. On Business, Enterprise and Edu, an admin or owner allows custom MCP servers for the workspace first. If Plugins shows no Add custom MCP server option, your plan or workspace doesn’t offer it yet.
AdSpends isn’t listed in the ChatGPT plugin directory yet. Until it is, the custom MCP server above is the way to connect, with the same account, data and credits.

Can ChatGPT see Meta ads on its own?
No. ChatGPT has no access to Meta’s Ad Library, and web search finds articles about ads, not the ads themselves. The Meta Ad Library shows ads one brand at a time, with spend only for political ads. AdSpends gives ChatGPT the ads, the spend estimates and the landing pages behind them.
| Feature | ChatGPT alone | Meta Ad Library | ChatGPT + AdSpends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meta ads | No access. Web search finds articles about ads | Search by brand or keyword in the browser | Searches 9.2M Meta ads from the chat |
| Ad spend | Guesses | Only for political and social issue ads | Estimated EUR spend for every ad delivered in the EU |
| Find the winners | Not possible | No sorting by spend or reach | Ranks ads, brands and landing pages by spend and reach |
| Landing pages | Only pages you paste in | Link only | Full page text, page type and the ads pointing to it |
| Video ads | Can’t watch them | Watch one by one | Timestamped transcripts ChatGPT can read and rewrite |
| Competitor overview | Not possible | Scroll through every ad yourself | Spend, new ads, top ads and top pages in one answer |
| Your research | Not available | Not available | Your saved boards and tracked brands |
ChatGPT can’t see Meta’s Ad Library. Now it can.

What is the AdSpends MCP?
The AdSpends MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that gives ChatGPT read access to the AdSpends Meta ads database. MCP is the standard way AI assistants plug into the apps you use. ChatGPT adds MCP servers as plugins, so it can search ads, brands and landing pages without you opening a dashboard.
How ChatGPT uses AdSpends
- Add the AdSpends MCP link as a custom MCP server under Plugins
- ChatGPT scans the AdSpends tools when you create the plugin
- Mention @AdSpends and it picks the right tool: ads, brands or landing pages
- It reads the results and writes the analysis, brief or table you asked for
- Works alongside ChatGPT’s other plugins, projects and files

FAQ
How do I connect AdSpends to ChatGPT?
On chatgpt.com, open Plugins, click + and choose Add custom MCP server. Name it AdSpends, paste https://app.adspends.com/api/mcp, choose OAuth, accept the risk notice and click Create as a plugin. Then connect the plugin and sign in to your AdSpends account. No API key is needed.
What can ChatGPT do with AdSpends?
ChatGPT can search 9.2M Meta ads, 849k brands and 739k landing pages, rank them by estimated ad spend, pull brand overviews with top ads and landing pages, and read your saved boards and tracked brands. It turns the results into hook lists, briefs, tables and competitor reports.
Can ChatGPT search the Meta Ad Library on its own?
No. ChatGPT has no access to the Meta Ad Library, and its web search finds articles about ads rather than the ads themselves. With the AdSpends plugin, ChatGPT searches Facebook and Instagram ads directly, with estimated ad spend, video transcripts and the landing pages each ad sends traffic to.
Which ChatGPT plans can add AdSpends?
OpenAI lets Pro accounts connect custom MCP servers with read and fetch access, which is all AdSpends needs because every tool is read-only. Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces have full MCP support, and an admin or owner allows custom MCP servers first. If your Plugins page shows no Add custom MCP server option, your plan doesn’t offer it yet. You also need an AdSpends account; the free trial is enough to start.
Do I still need developer mode in ChatGPT?
No. Older guides tell you to turn on developer mode under Settings first. ChatGPT now adds custom MCP servers directly from Plugins: you only accept a risk notice when you add the server.
Is AdSpends in the ChatGPT plugin directory?
Not yet. The custom MCP server works today with the same account, data and credits, and you don’t need to change anything when a directory listing goes live.
Does AdSpends work in Codex too?
Yes. Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app, the Codex CLI and the IDE extension connect to the same server (https://app.adspends.com/api/mcp) with an AdSpends API key. The setup is on the AdSpends for Codex page.
Which markets and countries does AdSpends cover?
AdSpends covers Meta ads delivered in the EU, because the reach data comes from Meta’s EU transparency reporting. Coverage is deepest in Germany and the DACH region. Brands are grouped into markets such as Health & Supplements, Beauty & Skincare, Fashion, Home & Garden and Pet Supplies, and ads can be filtered by language, platform and format.
Where does the data come from?
From the Meta Ad Library. AdSpends collects Facebook and Instagram ads delivered in the EU every day, together with the reach Meta publishes under the Digital Services Act, and links them to brands and landing pages.
How is the ad spend calculated?
Ad spend is an estimate in EUR, calculated from the EU reach that Meta publishes at a €30 CPM. It is built for comparing ads, brands and landing pages with each other, not as an exact invoice.
Is it free to use AdSpends with ChatGPT?
There is no separate charge for the ChatGPT plugin. Every AdSpends plan includes 2,000 to 30,000 API credits per month, and the free trial includes 100.
Is it safe to connect AdSpends to ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT signs in through OAuth, so no password or API key ends up in the chat. Every AdSpends tool is read-only, your saved boards are only visible to your own account, and you can remove the plugin at any time under Plugins.
