Why connect Meta Ads to Zed?
Zed's Agent panel can call MCP servers, which Zed calls context servers, while it edits your files. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Meta Ads ad sets, creatives, frequency and ROAS, so it can spot ads that are wearing out with today's numbers.

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

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.

Yes. Meta's official Ads MCP server is hosted, so Zed can use it too. It covers Meta only. Lemonado covers Meta plus Google Ads, GA4 and TikTok in one connection, so Zed can compare channels in one question.
Open the Agent panel settings and check the lemonado server's status dot. If it isn't green, restart the server and sign in again. 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.
