Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getmcpads/x-ads-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_SCOPES": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add x-ads --env X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-value --env X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS=your-value --env X_ADS_SCOPES=your-value --env X_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES=your-value -- npx -y @getmcpads/x-ads-mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "x-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getmcpads/x-ads-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value",

    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "x-ads": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getmcpads/x-ads-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_SCOPES": "your-value",
        "X_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is X Ads safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN, X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.1) reached the registry 12 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

The film shows hosted getmcpads with sample data. Its MCP Apps, from creative galleries and alerts to Google Sheets exports and bulk launches, belong to the hosted product. This repository provides the standalone native API tools.

25 read tools · 21 write tools, disabled by default.

What's new

[v1.1.1: Zod 4 security update](https://github.com/get-mcp-ads/x-ads-mcp-server/releases/tag/v1.1.1) · October 26, 2026

Update zod to 4.6.7. Every Zod release before 4.6.6 is covered by the high-severity advisory GHSA-mrhx-c7xc-m3w5: validating an oversized constrained collection can exhaust memory, and no Zod 3 release carries the fix. npm audit --omit=dev reports no vulnerability again.
Keep the Zod 3 validation behaviour. A parameter default is still validated and completed before use, so an omitted object must still supply its required fields.
Keep each parameter's own description when the parameter is optional or has a default. Zod 4 stores a description on the wrapped schema only, so the shared fallback description could otherwise replace it.
Tool names, parameters and descriptions published over MCP are unchanged. server-card.json is regenerated with Zod 4's JSON Schema output, which spells some constraints differently.

Earlier releases

Version	Date	Highlights
1.1.0	October 23, 2026	Campaign and line item rename
1.0.1	September 23, 2026	Public repository restored
1.0.0	September 20, 2026	First standalone release

Full changelog · All releases

Source synchronization: SOURCE_SYNC.md.

Upgrade notes

Requires Node.js 22.23.4, 24.22.1, 26.12.1 or a newer release. These carry the October 2026 security fixes, and the server prints a warning on stderr when it runs on an older one. CI covers Node 22, 24 and 26.

No breaking change. Configuration variables and accepted values are unchanged: X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS stays required and only true enables writes, as in 1.0. The rename tools are writes: they appear only with X_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES=true and need ads.write in X_ADS_SCOPES.

Read the current tool schemas before reusing saved arguments. Writes remain optional and require explicit confirmation. Hosted creative integrations and MCP Apps UI are outside this release.

Install this release

This is a GitHub source release. npm and MCP Registry versions are published separately. The commands below select this exact version.

git clone --branch v1.1.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/get-mcp-ads/x-ads-mcp-server.git

cd x-ads-mcp-server npm ci npm run build

Configure your MCP client to run node with the absolute path to dist/cli.js and the platform credentials documented below.

Prefer a managed connection? Use X Ads with hosted getmcpads. Connect your account, select the data your assistant may access and use the hosted MCP connection. See the site for current features and plans.

Configuration

Provide these environment variables through the client's secret configuration:

Variable	Purpose
`X_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Your user OAuth 2.0 access token. An app-only bearer token is not sufficient.
`X_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS`	Required comma-separated account IDs, restricted to accounts the token may access.
`X_ADS_SCOPES`	Scopes actually granted to the token. Defaults to `ads.read`.
`X_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES`	Defaults to `false`. Only the exact value `true` exposes writes.

Obtain your token and Ads Project access using X's official setup guide. Use ads.read for reporting, ads.write for campaign changes and media.write for uploads and media-library writes. Setting X_ADS_SCOPES does not grant permissions. This package accepts a token; it does not run an OAuth browser flow or persist rotating refresh tokens. When the token expires, renew it securely and restart the server.

Safety and coverage

Writes preview by default. Review the exact account, target and parameters before repeating the call with confirm: true. Campaigns and line items are created paused. Activation can spend advertising budget. Media uploads can consume X API credits and are limited to 4 MB. Do not retry a write automatically when its result is uncertain. Read the account and reconcile it first. Selected-account checks apply before dispatch and filter account discovery responses. Unknown arguments are rejected. Native pagination, attribution and monetary _micro fields are preserved. A micro unit is one millionth of the account currency.

This server exposes a reviewed subset of the official API. It does not automatically expose new upstream tools. Native media reads and writes are included. Hosted creative galleries, visual editors and MCP Apps UI are excluded. Use tools/list or server-card.json for exact schemas and the official API reference for provider details.

Hosted option

getmcpads for X Ads manages the hosted connection and account selection. Hosted and source releases can differ. Contact: hello@getmcpads.com.

Development

npm run typecheck

npm run lint npm run build npm test npm run catalog

All tests run offline with synthetic responses. No live account is changed.
