Adspirer is the MCP server that connects Cursor (IDE) to your Meta Ads ad accounts, turning campaign management into a chat conversation. Cursor IDE with MCP support — for marketers who already live in code editors. On the platform side, 36 tools cover manage Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Audience Network campaigns. Adspirer reads and writes — pull performance reports, audit launch new campaigns, launch new campaigns, pause underperformers, and reallocate budget — all from chat. New campaigns are always created paused so you can review before they go live, Adspirer cannot delete existing campaigns by design, and the free tier (15 tool calls / month, no credit card) is enough to run a full audit before you pay. Setup takes about 5 minutes via a JSON config entry.

What you can do

36 tools across Meta Ads. The eight you'll use most:

Launch new campaigns

Build image, video, carousel, DCO, or Reels campaigns from a brief. Adspirer validates creative against Meta's requirements, plans the ad sets, and creates everything paused so you review before going live.

Pause underperformers

Pause individual ads, ad sets, or full campaigns by name from chat. Resume them later just as easily — Adspirer cannot delete existing campaigns (hard-coded safety).

Audit creative fatigue

Surface ads that have been running 14+ days with declining CTR — Adspirer recommends which creatives to refresh before they tank performance.

Find wasted spend

Flag campaigns running under your ROAS threshold so you can pause or reallocate budget. Works across active and paused campaigns.

Research audiences

Search Meta's targeting catalog by interest, demographic, or behavior. Browse existing custom audiences (lists, lookalikes, website, engagement) before building new ones.

Pull lead-form submissions

List configured lead forms and pull recent submissions, grouped by campaign — route them into your CRM workflow without leaving chat.

Optimize placements & budget

Compare CPA across Feed, Stories, Reels, Marketplace, and Audience Network. Reallocate budget toward winning ad sets — Adspirer never increases an existing budget without explicit confirmation.

Diagnose anomalies

When CPA spikes or CTR drops, ask why. Adspirer inspects audience changes, creative rotation, and platform-level events to explain the cause and recommend a fix.

Campaign types you can launch

Every Meta Ads format Adspirer supports — request one in chat and Cursor builds the campaign paused for review.

Image campaigns

Single-image ads across Feed, Stories, and Marketplace. 1080×1080 minimum, validated before launch.

Video campaigns

Video ads up to 240s, 1:1 / 4:5 / 9:16 aspect ratios. MP4 or MOV, validated against Meta's spec.

Carousel campaigns

2–10 cards per ad, each with their own creative + headline + link. Great for product catalogs.

Reels campaigns

Vertical video for Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels. 9:16 aspect, optimized for mobile feeds.

Lead Gen Forms

On-platform forms that capture leads inside Facebook / Instagram — no landing page needed.

DCO (Dynamic Creative Optimization)

Provide multiple creative variants; Meta auto-mixes images, headlines, and descriptions to find winners.

Sample prompts

Cursor blends prose prompts with inline code — great when you're scripting ad ops alongside product code.

Meta performance audit — A monthly audit that surfaces which campaigns to keep, kill, or scale.

Meta performance audit

Pull my Meta Ads performance for the last 30 days. Show spend, conversions, CPA, and ROAS by campaign. Flag any campaigns with ROAS below 2.0.

Creative fatigue check — Catch fatigued ads before they drag down ad-set performance.

Creative fatigue check

Launch an image campaign

Create a Meta image campaign: - Product: Organic skincare line for women 25-45 - Target: Women interested in clean beauty, sustainability, wellness - Budget: $30/day - Creative: <Google Drive link> - Objective: Website conversions (Add to Cart) Validate the creative first, then build the campaign — keep it paused.

Optimize placements — Move spend toward the placements that are actually converting for you.

Who this is for

Real workflows from people running Meta Ads through Cursor.

In-house growth marketer running Meta Ads solo

Each Monday, ask Cursor to pull last week's Meta Ads performance, surface campaigns running below your ROAS threshold, and recommend creative refreshes for fatigued ads.

Outcome: Replaces a 60–90 minute manual review with a 5-minute chat, and surfaces problems before they tank ad-set performance.

Agency account manager handling 5+ Meta Ads accounts

Switch context between client accounts in chat. Run the same audit prompt across each, paste the chat into your weekly client report. Multi-account is built in — no extra seats per account.

Outcome: Cuts cross-account reporting from a half-day per account to ~10 minutes total.

Founder launching their first Meta Ads campaign

Brief Cursor in plain English with budget, audience, and creative URL. Cursor validates inputs against Meta Ads's requirements, builds the campaign paused, and walks you through what to review before launching.

Outcome: No need to learn Meta Ads's dashboard UI; campaign goes live correctly the first time.

How it works

From sign-up to your first launched campaign in three steps.

Connect

Paste the Adspirer MCP URL into Cursor, complete OAuth in your browser, and link your Meta Ads account. About 2 minutes.

Manage

Ask Cursor for an audit, launch a new campaign, pause underperformers, or pull a report. Adspirer handles the 36 Meta Ads tools behind the scenes.

Scale

Switch between accounts in chat, run the same audit across clients, and let agency SOPs live in your AI assistant — no extra dashboard logins.

Frequently asked questions

About running Meta Ads from Cursor.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

You'll edit a small JSON config entry to register the Adspirer MCP server (https://mcp.adspirer.com/mcp, transport http, OAuth). If you can edit a settings file in a code editor, you can do this. Total time: about 5 minutes.

Can I switch from Cursor to a different AI client later?

Yes. Your Adspirer account is independent of the AI client — sign up once, then connect the same MCP URL from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, or any supported client. Tool calls are pooled across clients on the same plan; switching costs you nothing.

What's the read vs. write boundary on Meta Ads?

Adspirer is full read and write. It can pull reports, audit performance, and analyze data (read), and it can launch new campaigns, pause underperformers, update budgets, and adjust targeting (write). Two safety guardrails are hard-coded: new campaigns are always created paused so you review before they go live, and Adspirer cannot delete existing campaigns. You keep full control.

Does Adspirer generate Meta creatives (images / videos)?

No. Adspirer does not generate creative assets. You provide a public URL to your image or video (Google Drive, Dropbox, S3, or any public link) and Adspirer validates that it meets Meta's requirements before launching the ad.

What ad formats does Adspirer support on Meta?

Image, video, and carousel campaigns are fully supported. Lifetime budgets, end dates, placement controls, and Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) are all available. Stories, Reels, and Audience Network placements are controlled at the ad-set level.

Can Adspirer pause or delete my existing Meta campaigns?

Adspirer can pause campaigns when you explicitly ask it to, but it cannot delete existing campaigns or ad sets. New campaigns are always created paused so you can review before they go live.

How does Adspirer handle the Meta campaign-creation workflow?

Meta requires a 6-step sequence: verify the connection → search targeting → choose campaign type (image/video/carousel) → discover existing assets → validate creatives → create campaign. Adspirer enforces this order — skipping a step would cause Meta's API to reject the campaign.

What's the minimum budget?

Meta requires $5/day per ad set. Adspirer recommends $20+/day for meaningful test data and $30/day split across 2-3 ad sets to find winners faster.

How are leads from Meta lead forms surfaced?

Use list_meta_lead_forms to see configured forms, then get_meta_lead_form_submissions to pull recent submissions. Adspirer doesn't push leads into your CRM directly — it returns the submission data so you can route it through Zapier, Make, or a custom integration.
