What is Adrex AI?

Adrex AI is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants to your Google Ads and Meta Ads accounts. Instead of navigating complex dashboards, you manage campaigns, reporting, keywords, and targeting through natural language — from Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client.

Platforms: Google Ads and Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) today — TikTok and LinkedIn coming soon.

You: "Show me my Google Ads performance for the last 7 days"
Claude: [calls google_ads_campaign_performance] → table with spend, clicks, CTR, ROAS

You: "Pause the campaign with the lowest ROAS"
Claude: [calls google_ads_pause_campaign] → campaign paused, no more spend

You: "Create a Meta campaign for our summer sale, $50/day budget"
Claude: [calls meta_ads_create_campaign] → campaign created PAUSED for your review

You connect your ad accounts once in the Adrex dashboard (secure OAuth — your tokens stay on our servers, never in the MCP client), then drive everything from your AI assistant. There are two ways to connect (see Quick Start): a remote server with browser sign-in — no API key, or this npx server with an API key.

Safety First

These tools operate on real ad accounts that spend real money:

• All campaigns and ads are created PAUSED — no spend until you explicitly resume
• Destructive and spend-starting actions return clear warnings
• Read operations (metrics, lists) run freely without side effects

Quick Start

First, sign up at adrex.ai and connect your Google/Meta ad accounts in Settings. Then pick one of the two ways to connect.

Option A — Remote server (recommended, no API key)

Connect over HTTP and authorize in your browser — nothing to copy or paste. Your client stores its own secure token. In the Adrex dashboard, Settings → Connect to your AI (MCP) shows a one-command connect with your server URL. It looks like:

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http adrex-ai https://<your-adrex-server>/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code / other clients (JSON) — or use the one-click Add to Cursor / Add to VS Code buttons in Settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adrex-ai": { "type": "http", "url": "https://<your-adrex-server>/mcp" }
  }
}

After adding, your client opens a browser tab — sign in and click Authorize. Done.

Option B — npx server with an API key

Prefer the classic stdio server? Generate an API key in Settings, then add it below. Adrex ships a standard stdio MCP server, so it works with any MCP client — every config points at npx -y adrex-ai with your ADREX_API_KEY.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add -s user adrex-ai -e ADREX_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y adrex-ai

Gemini CLI:

gemini mcp add adrex-ai -e ADREX_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y adrex-ai

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json global or .cursor/mcp.json per-project), Gemini CLI (~/.gemini/settings.json), or any client using the JSON mcpServers format:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adrex-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "adrex-ai"],
      "env": {
        "ADREX_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml) — note Codex uses TOML, not JSON:

[mcp_servers.adrex-ai]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "adrex-ai"]
env = { ADREX_API_KEY = "your-api-key" }

Any other MCP client (Cline, Windsurf, Zed, Continue, …): point it at command npx -y adrex-ai with env ADREX_API_KEY set to your key.

That's it — no SDK setup, no developer tokens, no OAuth juggling. The server forwards each request to the Adrex backend, which uses the ad-account credentials you connected in the dashboard.

Behind a corporate proxy? v1.0.4+ automatically routes through HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY.
