IndependentNo OAuthNo token storageNo campaign writes

Independent tool. Not affiliated with Meta, Anthropic, Claude or Pipeboard. Pipeboard links are external.

Preflight preview

Example output only. No account connection.

Recommended path: CSV + Claude

Reason: Client approval or OAuth comfort is not ready.

META_ACCESS_TOKEN=<SET_LOCALLY_DO_NOT_PASTE_HERE>

Built for the decision before setup

We do not replace Pipeboard hosted connectors, perform OAuth, store tokens, read ad account data, create/edit campaigns or claim official affiliation. The router only helps you decide what to verify before continuing.

Route your Ads MCP setup safely

The interface is intentionally technical and checklist-first for marketers and automation builders who need safety, clarity and copyable outputs.

Result empty

Your recommended path will appear here.

Answer the setup questions to see whether Pipeboard, local MCP, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT or CSV + Claude is the safer next step.

Compare paths without pretending one vendor is this site

Each path has equal visual weight. Pipeboard remains an external option, not a service we operate.

Troubleshoot setup issues without pasting secrets

Select a symptom. Paste sanitized summaries only; do not paste tokens or raw logs.

Claude plan

Check whether your Claude plan/client currently supports connectors or MCP. Do not assume every plan can add the same connector.

What not to do: Do not paste tokens, raw logs, account IDs or customer data into this page.

Safer fallback: Use CSV + Claude until access, OAuth, or review process is clear.
