Why connect Meta Ads to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)?
Windsurf's agent works across your files and terminal, but on its own it can't see what your campaigns are doing. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Meta Ads ad sets, creatives, frequency and ROAS, so it can check Meta purchases against GA4 with today's numbers.
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.

Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about Meta Ads
Try "Compare last month's Meta Ads numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "When does each ad wear out?" or "Does the pixel match?"

- Devin Local and legacy Cascade keep separate setups, so sign in to each one you use.
- Current versions keep user MCP config in ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json on macOS and Linux.
What can Windsurf (Devin Desktop) do with Meta Ads?
Windsurf's agent reads your Meta Ads data and works the numbers into your code, from config checks to reports saved in the repo.
Compare last month's Meta Ads numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off.
2 of 6 targets were missed three months running. I updated them in config/targets.json and left a comment with the numbers behind each change.

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.

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.

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.
