MCP.Pizza Chef: gomarble-ai

Ask about campaign spend, reach, or results and get the answer read straight from your Meta Ads account. It lists your ad accounts, pulls campaigns, ad sets and individual ads, reports performance over any date range, and shows what changed and when. Every tool it offers only reads and reports, so it will not spend money or edit your campaigns. You do have to connect your Meta account first, though the free one-click installer can handle that step for you. Still actively maintained as of August 2026.

What It Does

  • Installs and configures the MCP server locally
  • Automatically handles environment setup
  • Prompts for Meta token authentication during the process which is optional
  • If Meta access token is not provided then connect to GoMarble's server to create the token on your behalf

Important Disclaimer

This setup does not require you to manually obtain a Meta Developer Access Token.

Instead, it connects securely to GoMarble's server to create the token on your behalf. GoMarble does not store your token — it is saved locally on your machine for use with the MCP server.


Setup

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • Dependencies listed in requirements.txt
  1. (Optional but Recommended) Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

    Using a virtual environment helps manage project dependencies cleanly[Source].

  2. Install Dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Obtain Meta Access Token: Secure a Meta User Access Token with the necessary permissions (e.g., ads_read). You can generate this through the Meta Developer portal. Follow this link.

Usage with MCP Clients (e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop)

To integrate this server with an MCP-compatible client, add a configuration(Claude) similar to the following. Replace YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual token and adjust the path to server.py if necessary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fb-ads-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
        "--fb-token",
        "YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      ]
      // If using a virtual environment, you might need to specify the python executable within the venv:
      // "command": "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
      // "args": [
      //   "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
      //   "--fb-token",
      //   "YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      // ]
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP Client app after making the update in the configuration.

(Note: On Windows, you might need to adjust the command structure or use cmd /k depending on your setup.)

Debugging the Server

Execute server.py, providing the access token via the --fb-token argument.

python server.py --fb-token YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN

facebook-ads-mcp-server FAQ

Is this project still maintained?
Yes. Code changed as recently as August 2026, and nothing is marked archived or deprecated.
Can it pause or change my ads?
No. Everything it can do is read-only, so it reports numbers but cannot spend money or edit campaigns.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop and Cursor, plus any other app that supports MCP connections.
Do I need a Meta developer account?
Not necessarily. The free one-click installer can connect your Meta account for you, or you can supply your own access token if you already have one.
How hard is setup?
The manual route needs Python and a command line. The one-click installer from the same team is considerably simpler.
Can I use this to build a weekly ad report?
Yes. Ask for the date range you want and it will pull the numbers for your assistant to write up.
Is there something similar for Google Ads?
Yes, the same team publishes a separate Google Ads server.
