OpenAI Ads MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the OpenAI Ads (Advertiser) API. It lets MCP-compatible clients - Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and others - read your OpenAI Ads campaigns, ad groups, ads, and performance insights through natural language. Its 11 documented tools cover insights, account, campaign, group. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting API integration tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
