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

What can Cursor do with Meta Ads?
Cursor's agent reads your Meta Ads data while it edits: it fills components with real data, checks tracking code and writes the analysis next to your code.
CursorReplace the mock data in components/CreativeTable.tsx with last month's real Meta Ads numbers by ad, as a typed fixture.
Added fixtures/meta-ads.ts with 214 ads and typed fields for spend, CTR, frequency and purchases. CreativeTable now renders real data in dev.

Compare the Meta pixel events we fire in the code with the conversion events Meta Ads reports. Which ones are missing or misnamed?
"AddPaymentInfo" fires in checkout.ts but Meta has no conversions for it this month. The event name has a trailing space in the code.

Save spend, CTR, frequency and purchases by ad for the last 60 days as data/meta_ads.csv, with the creative name on each row.
Saved 214 rows to data/meta_ads.csv. 18 ads have spend but no creative name, so I filled those with the ad ID.

Build a notebook cell that charts CTR by day since launch for our 10 biggest ads, so we can see where each one wears out.
Added the cell to analysis/fatigue.ipynb with the data inline. Most ads drop under 1% CTR between day 9 and day 14.

What do our last 10 winning ads have in common? Write a brief for the next three.
8 of 10 show the product in use in the first second and name a price. Brief: three 15s UGC cuts, price on screen by 0:02.
Source: Meta Ads
Which ads have frequency over 4 and a falling CTR, and how much did they spend this week?
6 ads, $4,380 this week. "Jackets_UGC_v3" is the worst: frequency 5.1, CTR down from 1.9% to 1.1% in 8 days.

Yes. Add Lemonado to Cursor's mcp.json and the agent can query your Meta ad accounts without you touching the API. Building on the Marketing API directly means a Meta app, access tokens and rate limits to manage.
Yes. Meta's official Ads MCP server is hosted, so Cursor can use it too. It covers Meta only. Lemonado covers Meta plus Google Ads, GA4 and TikTok in one connection, so Cursor can compare channels in one question.
Open Cursor's settings and find lemonado in the MCP list. A red dot or a sign-in prompt means the login expired. Restart Cursor after editing mcp.json. In Lemonado, check that Meta Ads is connected and External tools is on for the company. If an ad account is missing, check that your Facebook user has access to it in Business settings, then reconnect Meta Ads in Lemonado.
Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Compare Meta's reported purchases with GA4 purchases from paid social for the last 30 days."
MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
