Who it’s for
Marketers, founders and analysts who already work in Claude or another AI assistant, and developers building research agents.
The problem
Assistants can’t read ad libraries on their own. They guess, or they summarize a page you pasted. You want the ads themselves, with copy, formats and dates.
How to do it in adsrunning
Create an API key
Open API in your account and create a key. Your first key comes with 50 credits.
Add the MCP server
Point your client at https://adsrunning.com/mcp with your key as a bearer token. The integration pages show the setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenCode and Pi.
Ask
Your agent picks the tools: get_advertiser and count_ads for counts, list_ads and get_ad for stored LinkedIn ads, start_ad_collection for LinkedIn, Google or Meta ads on demand.
Check your balance
get_account shows your credits and limits, and costs nothing.

What it uses
Pricing →Questions
Which tools does the server have?
Eight: get_account, get_advertiser, list_ads, get_ad, count_ads, start_ad_collection, get_ad_collection and list_collection_ads.
Does MCP cost more than the API?
No. The tools run the same pipeline as the REST API, with the same credits and limits.
Can a retry charge me twice?
Retrying a paid call can charge again. Retrying start_ad_collection with the same idempotency key does not.
