Why connect Meta Ads to Claude Code?

Pixel and Conversions API bugs live in code, but they show up as odd numbers in Meta Ads. Claude Code can read both sides, the events you send and the conversions Meta records, and fix the mismatch in the same session.

  • Your whole Meta Ads account

    Campaigns, ad sets and ads, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Spend, reach, frequency, CTR and CPM, synced from Meta Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Do Meta and GA4 agree?" use Meta Ads and Google Ads, TikTok Ads at once.

How to connect Meta Ads to Claude Code

Before you start

  • A Meta Ads account you can sign in to

    Add the server

    With Claude Code installed, run one of these in your terminal. Most people want the first: it adds Lemonado to every project.

    bash
    # every project (recommended)
    claude mcp add --scope user --transport http lemonado https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
    
    # this project only
    claude mcp add --transport http lemonado https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp

    bash
    claude
    /mcp

    Ask Claude Code about Meta Ads

    Ask a question about the accounts your connection can reach. Claude Code can also write the numbers into a file or a script for you. Try "Check that our Conversions API events send the same event_id as the browser pixel, then compare Meta's reported purchases with our orders." Or ask: "When does each ad wear out?" or "Does the pixel match?"

Good to know

  • The command uses Claude Code's default local scope. Use --scope user to share the server across projects.

What can Claude Code do with Meta Ads?

Claude Code queries your Meta Ads data while it works in your repo: it saves data as files, checks tracking against code and runs headless with claude -p.

Check that our Conversions API events send the same event_id as the browser pixel, then compare Meta's reported purchases with our orders.

server/capi.ts builds event_id from the order ID, but the pixel uses a random UUID, so nothing dedupes. Meta reports 1.6x the purchases we actually had.
