Why connect Snapchat Ads to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Copilot's agent mode can call MCP tools inside your workspace, so it can read live numbers while it edits code and docs. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Snapchat Ads ad squads, swipe-ups, video views and CPA, so it can see which age group buys cheapest with today's numbers.

  • Your whole Snapchat Ads account

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

  • Always today's numbers

    Impressions, swipe-ups and video views, synced from Snapchat Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Snapchat or TikTok for Gen Z?" use Snapchat Ads and TikTok Ads, Meta Ads at once.

How to connect Snapchat Ads to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Before you start

  • A Snapchat Ads account you can sign in to
  • VS Code installed
  • A Lemonado account (the free trial works)
  1. 1

    Connect Snapchat Ads in Lemonado

    In Lemonado, open Connectors, find Snapchat Ads and sign in. Choose the ad accounts you want. One Snapchat login can see several organizations.

  2. 2

    Turn on external access

    In the company's settings, open External tools, turn the connection on, choose which sources it can reach and copy the server URL.

  4. 4

    Choose where it lives

    For your personal Copilot setup, choose Global → Copilot Global. That writes to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json unless COPILOT_HOME says otherwise.

  5. 5

    Trust and sign in

    Accept the trust prompt and sign in to Lemonado. Turn the tools on under Chat: Open Customizations → Tools.

  6. 6

    Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) about Snapchat Ads

    Try "Update the table in docs/kpis.md with last month's Snapchat Ads numbers and add one line on what changed." Or ask: "How did each ad do?" or "Which landing pages broke?"

Good to know

  • The older .vscode/mcp.json format still works for the local harness, but VS Code now marks that destination as deprecated. It uses a servers key with type http and the same URL.

What can VS Code (GitHub Copilot) do with Snapchat Ads?

Copilot reads your Snapchat Ads data in agent mode and works the numbers into your code, docs and notebooks in the workspace you have open.
