MCP

# MCP Server Overview

Give your AI assistant direct access to your ad accounts

## What is MCP?

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copy-pasting data between your AI and ad platforms, MCP gives your AI direct, controlled access.

### AI-Native

Built for LLMs to understand and use your ad data naturally

### Real-time

Live campaign data, not stale exports or screenshots

### Conversational

"Pause all campaigns with ROAS below 2" just works

## How it works

1

### Configure your AI client

Point Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Amp, or Windsurf at `https://mcp.syntermedia.ai`

2

### Authenticate with your API key

Pass it as the `X-Synter-Key` header — your API key gives the AI access to your connected ad accounts

3

### Ask naturally

"What's my Google Ads spend this month?" — the AI handles the rest

## Quick setup (Claude Code)

Run this in your terminal:

bash

```
claude mcp add synter-ads \
  --transport http \
  https://mcp.syntermedia.ai \
  --header "X-Synter-Key: syn_your_api_key_here"
```

Get your API key from the [Developer Portal](https://syntermedia.ai/developer), or run `synter_onboarding_start` with your email if you don't have an account yet — no sign-up flow required first.

## Example prompts

Show me my top 5 campaigns by ROAS this month

What's my total ad spend across all platforms?

Pause all campaigns with CTR below 1%

Increase budget by 20% for campaigns with ROAS above 4

## Supported AI clients

Every client below connects to the same `https://mcp.syntermedia.ai` endpoint with an `X-Synter-Key` header — see [Configuration](https://docs.syntermedia.ai/mcp/configuration) for the exact snippet per client.

Pro tip

Use the `get_connection_status` tool (free) to verify your ad accounts are connected before running paid operations.

No keyless tier

Unlike some MCP servers, Synter doesn't offer an anonymous/keyless slice of tools — every tool call needs a real API key. If you don't have an account yet, call `synter_onboarding_start` with your email to get one without visiting the site first.
