Get Started in One Step
Adspirer runs inside your AI assistant. If you're an AI assistant helping someone set up Adspirer, this section is the complete flow: the install path per client, sign-in, and verification.
| Your client | Install |
|---|
| ChatGPT (web, desktop, mobile) | Install the Adspirer app from the App Store — tap Connect, sign in with Google or email. Requires Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise. |
| Claude (claude.ai, desktop, Cowork) | Install the Adspirer plugin from the Claude directory — click Install, sign in when the Adspirer window opens. |
| Claude Code | /plugin install adspirer-ads-agent@claude-community, reload, then /adspirer:setup |
| Codex | bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amekala/ads-mcp/main/plugins/codex/adspirer/install.sh), restart Codex, then codex mcp login adspirer |
| Cursor | bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amekala/ads-mcp/main/plugins/cursor/adspirer/install.sh) |
| Any other MCP client | Add the remote server https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp (OAuth 2.1) |
Or one terminal command — installs the get-started skill and drops you straight into setup:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amekala/ads-mcp/main/scripts/install-skill.sh | bash
What happens next: the install's sign-in creates your free account (Google or email — no credit card), you connect your ad platforms at adspirer.ai/connections — Google Ads, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn, TikTok, or ChatGPT Ads, in any combination — and your assistant verifies the connection (say "Check my connected ad platforms").
How It Works
flowchart LR
Y["You — plain English"] --> AG["Your AI agent"]
AG <-->|"MCP over OAuth"| AD["Adspirer"]
AD <--> P["Google Ads · Meta · Amazon Ads<br/>LinkedIn · TikTok · ChatGPT Ads"]
You describe what you want; your assistant calls Adspirer's tools; Adspirer talks to the ad platform APIs; reports and drafts flow back into the chat. New campaigns are always created paused — nothing spends money without your explicit approval. Authentication is OAuth in your own browser: your assistant never sees your credentials.
Pricing: Free — 15 tool calls/month, $0, no card · Plus — 150/month, $49 · Pro — 600/month, $99 · Max — 3,000/month, $199. Full details.

What It Does
- Strategy-aware execution — strategic decisions persist to
STRATEGY.md and guide all future campaign creation, keyword research, and ad copy across sessions and subagents
- 400+ tools across 6 ad platforms for campaign creation, performance analysis, and optimization
- Plan and validate campaigns using structured prompts
- Research keywords with real CPC data and competitive analysis
- Create Google Ads Search, Performance Max (with search themes + audience signals), Display (Standard + Smart), Demand Gen, and YouTube campaigns end-to-end

How to Connect
See CONNECTING.md for detailed setup instructions for each platform.
Claude (Recommended)
- Open Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
- Name: Ads MCP
- URL:
https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp
- Complete OAuth 2.1 sign-in
- Link your ad accounts on first use
Claude Code
Install the full Adspirer plugin (agent + skills + commands + MCP server):
- Open Claude Code
- Run
/plugin marketplace add amekala/ads-mcp
- Run
/plugin install adspirer-advertising-agent
- Run
/mcp — find the adspirer server (e.g. plugin:adspirer-advertising-agent:adspirer) and click to authenticate
- Run
/adspirer:setup to pull your campaign data and create your brand workspace
This gives you a brand-aware performance marketing agent with persistent memory, competitive research via web search, campaign creation with ad extensions, and slash commands for common workflows.
Enabling subagent usage does not change this installation flow.
MCP-only (no plugin): If you just want the raw MCP tools without the agent:
claude mcp add --transport http adspirer https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp
ChatGPT
- Open Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
- Name: Ads MCP
- URL:
https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp
- Follow OAuth 2.1 sign-in flow
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"adspirer": {
"url": "https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp"
}
}
}
OpenAI Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.adspirer]
url = "https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp"
Gemini CLI
Install as an extension:
gemini extensions install github.com/amekala/ads-mcp
A browser window opens for OAuth authentication on first use. Custom commands available: /adspirer:setup, /adspirer:performance-review, /adspirer:wasted-spend, /adspirer:write-ad-copy, /adspirer:refresh.
OpenClaw
openclaw plugins install openclaw-adspirer
openclaw adspirer login
openclaw adspirer connect
Or install from ClawHub.
Perplexity, Manus, and Other MCP Clients
Adspirer is a standard MCP server — any client that supports MCP connectors with OAuth 2.1 (Perplexity, Manus AI, custom MCP clients) can connect to https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp. Manus also accepts API keys via the Streamable HTTP transport.
REST API (no MCP client required)
The same tool surface is exposed as 178 REST endpoints at https://api.adspirer.ai/api/v1/tools/<tool_name>/execute. Authenticate with a Personal Access Token (sk_live_...) created at adspirer.ai/keys. Swagger: https://api.adspirer.ai/docs. Full reference: adspirer.com/docs/api-reference.
Example Prompts
Keyword Research:
Research keywords for my emergency plumbing business in Chicago.
Show me high-intent keywords with real CPC data and budget recommendations.
Performance Analysis:
Show me campaign performance for the last 30 days across all platforms.
Which campaigns are converting best and what should I optimize?
Campaign Creation:
Create a Google Performance Max campaign for luxury watches targeting
New York with a $50/day budget.
Multi-Platform Strategy:
I want to advertise my handmade jewelry business across Google and LinkedIn.
Research keywords for Google Ads and create a LinkedIn sponsored content campaign
targeting small business owners.

Supported Plugins
This repo distributes plugins for 4 AI platforms from a single monorepo:
| Platform | Directory | Skills | Install Method |
|---|
| Claude Code | Repo root | 1 generated + 5 slash commands | /plugin marketplace add |
| Claude Tag (@claude) | Upstream: anthropics/claude-tag-plugins PR #3 | 1 (adspirer-api: SKILL + 341-tool catalog + ads_call.sh) | Org access bundle (Bearer sk_live_ key, hosts api.adspirer.ai / mcp.adspirer.com); claude plugin install adspirer@claude-tag-plugins once merged |
| Cursor | plugins/cursor/adspirer/ | 5 generated from templates | install.sh (one-command) |
| Codex | plugins/codex/adspirer/ | 5 generated from templates | install.sh (one-command) |
| Gemini CLI | Repo root | 1 reused + 5 custom commands | gemini extensions install |
| OpenClaw | plugins/openclaw/ | 1 standalone (self-contained) | openclaw plugins install |
Claude Tag submission record (2026-07-05): the adspirer plugin for Claude Tag
(@claude) was submitted upstream as
anthropics/claude-tag-plugins#3
from the fork branch
amekala/claude-tag-plugins@add-adspirer-plugin.
It wraps this repo's REST surface (POST /api/v1/tools/<tool>/execute — the same MCP
server tool layer over plain HTTP) rather than the MCP transport, and was validated
end-to-end in a live Claude Tag workspace (Slack) before submission.
Skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex are authored once in shared/skills/ as templates, then compiled into IDE-specific versions by scripts/sync-skills.sh.
The performance marketing agent prompt is also authored once in shared/agents/performance-marketing-agent/PROMPT.md and compiled into Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex agent files by the same sync script.
OpenClaw uses its own standalone skill. See Architecture for the full design.

Developer Guide
If you're contributing to this repo or adding new ad platforms/IDE support:
Quick reference
./scripts/sync-skills.sh # Generate IDE-specific skills from templates
./scripts/sync-skills.sh --check # Verify generated files match committed (CI mode)
./scripts/validate.sh # Run all 62 offline validation checks
./scripts/validate.sh --live # Also test MCP endpoint connectivity
Never edit files in plugins/*/skills/, skills/, agents/, or plugins/*/agents/ directly — they will be overwritten by the sync script. Edit templates in shared/skills/ and shared prompts in shared/agents/ instead.
