The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants use tools. With the Ads Lighthouse MCP server, an assistant can list your projects, read saved ads and advertiser reports, and answer questions about your brand searches. It is included in every plan, including Starter, Growth and trials.
Connect with your Ads Lighthouse sign-in
- In your assistant, add a custom connector or MCP server with the URL https://adslighthouse.com/api/v1/mcp.
- When the assistant opens Ads Lighthouse, sign in and choose the account to share.
- Leave Also allow changes unchecked unless the assistant should add keywords, create projects or start on-demand checks.
- Select Allow access. You return to the assistant, which can now use the tools.
Step-by-step setup for Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor and Claude Code is on the MCP page. On Scale plans and above, a client can also send an API key instead of signing in.
Disconnect an assistant
Open Settings, select API and MCP and choose Disconnect next to the app under Connected apps. The assistant loses access immediately. Owners and admins can disconnect any app; members can disconnect the apps they connected.
Assistants can misread data. Check important findings in the app, where each saved ad keeps its search, location, device and time.
