Meta Ad Library MCP servers: which ones work in Claude and ChatGPT

Yes, though not from Meta: we found no MCP server listed by Meta for the Ad Library, but 19 other tools publish one that gives Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor access to real Facebook ad examples, including AdSwipeFile (free, Meta ads), AdLibrarySpy (free), SpreshApp, AdLibrary, OpenAdLibrary and Klipio for ad libraries, Foreplay, Swipekit and Adspo for swipe files, and AdPlexity, Spytrend, PiPiAds, WinningHunter and TrendTrack for spy tools. This page compares them on what the server can do (read or write), how you sign in, the call limits and which plan includes it, as each vendor's own pages state. To connect one in a few minutes, see Facebook ads in Claude and ChatGPT and the MCP setup docs. We make AdSwipeFile, so it is listed first; every other tool's facts come from its own site, checked on 6 November 2026 and 12 November 2026, with sources at the end.

How we compared them

• Does it search Meta ads? Some servers read Facebook and Instagram ads; others cover TikTok, Google or only your own saves.
• Read-only or write: whether the assistant can only look, or also save, tag, schedule or change an ad account.
• Sign-in: OAuth (you log in as yourself) or an API key you paste into the client.
• Call limits: calls, credits or tokens per day or month, and which plan they come with.
• The plan: the cheapest plan that includes the server.

How we chose and checked. We took every tool in our comparison data whose MCP row on its own site lists an MCP server, which is 19 of 31 tools, and grouped them by what the server mostly does. The row, the plan that includes it, its tools, sign-in method and limits were read from each vendor's MCP page, pricing page or help center on the dates under Sources. Meta's pages were read for its own tools.

What we did not do. We did not connect to each server or run test prompts, so we do not rank how well any of them answer. Tool counts, call limits and plan requirements are the vendors' statements, and where a vendor's pages disagree (Gethookd, WinningHunter and Foreplay do) we print both. A server that is "not listed" on a vendor's site may still exist; we only report what we could read.

Where the data comes from. The tools differ in what sits behind the server. Some search the public Facebook Ad Library live (SpreshApp, Klipio), some keep their own database of ads, and some are a swipe file of what you saved. Ask each vendor whether it keeps ads after Meta removes them, because most pages do not say. AdSwipeFile is listed first because we make it; its gaps are stated.

1. AdSwipeFile

A curated library of 63,244+ real Facebook and Instagram ads, filed by brand, niche and format, that Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor search over MCP.

• Price: Free; Pro $39/mo ($390/yr); Agency $99/mo ($990/yr); plus tax.
• Free plan or trial: Free plan, no card: 50 MCP/API calls for the life of the account and the first 50 ads of every list. 7-day trial on paid plans (card required); 14-day money-back.
• Falls short on: Facebook and Instagram ads only, read-only tools (it cannot save an ad from the web), 50 MCP/API calls for the life of the account on the Free plan and no performance data. The library is far smaller than the ones Foreplay and Gethookd claim.
• Best for: anyone who wants Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to search winning Facebook and Instagram ads, free to start.

Ad libraries you search from an assistant

These five put an ad library behind the server: you ask for a brand's ads and the assistant reads them. SpreshApp and Klipio read the public Facebook Ad Library, AdLibrarySpy and OpenAdLibrary keep their own indexes, and AdLibrary spans many networks. Of the five, AdLibrarySpy is free and the others start at $19 a month.

2. SpreshApp

SpreshApp (Spresh) is a research layer on the live Facebook Ad Library: AI search by audience, a daily feed on competitor brands (Brand Spy), saved ads, and an API and MCP server on every plan.

• MCP: Yes, on every plan (Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes), with a Spresh API key.
• API: Yes, on every plan: 10,000, 50,000 or 100,000 credits by plan; unlimited for $450/mo.
• Price: Solo $19/mo, Growth $49/mo, Agency $99/mo billed monthly ($17, $42 and $83 billed annually); extra brands $3/mo, extra seats $5/mo, extra API credits $3 per 5,000. Its FAQ also mentions a Pro plan the pricing page doesn't show.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan or trial terms on its pricing page; its home page says “No signup, free to try” and its MCP page offers free credits.

SpreshApp is the closest thing here to a Meta Ad Library server with AI on top. Its MCP searches the live Facebook Ad Library, active and inactive ads, and works with Claude, Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes using a Spresh API key. It is on every plan from Solo at $19 a month, with API credits (10,000 to 100,000 by plan, plus extra credits sold in blocks). What it does not say is whether it keeps ads Meta removes. Free terms are only "free to try".

3. AdLibrarySpy

AdLibrarySpy is a free Shopify store and Meta ads research tool: a store index with SimilarWeb traffic, a Meta ad library ranked in Meta's own impressions order, a Brandtracker, a weekly report, a Chrome extension and an MCP server.

• MCP: Yes, hosted, free: 1,000 calls a day per workspace. Its tools can also save ads to swipe boards, write briefs and build a store.
• API: Public JSON endpoints for stores and the weekly report (1,000 calls a day per IP), plus the MCP over HTTP.
• Price: Free, every feature; it says there is no paid tier.
• Free plan or trial: Everything free for you and your team, no card, no trial; fair-use rate limits.

AdLibrarySpy is the free server to start with: hosted, 1,000 calls a day per workspace, no card, no trial. Its tools search Meta ads ranked in Meta's impressions order with AI labels for hook and angle, and can also save ads to swipe boards, write briefs and build a store, so it is not read-only. It covers Meta only and does not cover TikTok or Google.

4. OpenAdLibrary

OpenAdLibrary is an ad intelligence tool for media buyers and affiliates: one library of Meta, TikTok, Google and native ads (Taboola, Outbrain and more) that follows each native ad's click to its landing page, plus a creative editor and a campaign tracker.

• MCP: Yes, hosted, on Founders: sign in with an OpenAdLibrary account or send an API key.
• API: Read-only REST API on Founders, with a daily request quota per key.
• Price: Founders $29.99/mo, or $299 a year ($24.92 a month); Unlimited Track add-on $49.99/mo.
• Free plan or trial: Free account, no card: the 20 newest ads and the top three of each ranking. Search, filters, saved research and the API need Founders.

OpenAdLibrary's server is hosted and you sign in with an OpenAdLibrary account or send an API key. It sits on Founders at $29.99 a month and is paired with a read-only REST API with a daily quota. What the assistant can search spans Meta, TikTok, Google and native networks such as Taboola and Outbrain, and its deleted-ads archive (Founders only) keeps ads after they stop. Good when your question is about native or affiliate ads.

5. AdLibrary

AdLibrary is a cross-platform ad search engine: one search across Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, X and other networks, with AI breakdowns of each ad, brand tracking, a Chrome extension, and an API and MCP server on its Business plan.

• MCP: Yes, on Business only (€329/mo), using API credits. Its pricing page includes Claude skills set up for you on Business, and it offers one agent skill, adlibrary-research, that calls the REST API with curl and needs no MCP server; Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot and Cursor are listed. Setup for the MCP server itself is not described on its site.
• API: Business only: 1 credit per search, 100 requests a minute and 10,000 a day per key. A search returns the advertiser, ad text, button, platform, impressions, a heat score from 0 to 1,000, likes, shares, first seen, days running, countries, the preview and the landing page URL; it needs an app type (gaming, apps or e-commerce).
• Price: Starter €29/mo (€19/mo billed yearly), Pro €179/mo (€159), Business €329/mo (€299), in euros excluding VAT, on a monthly credit allowance (50 credits on Starter, 300 on Pro, 1,000 on Business); first Business month €49.35; Enterprise from €2,000/mo. Its pricing page says prices rise on January 1. Its home page instead says $179 a month with a $29 first month.
• Free plan or trial: Its pricing page lists no free plan; saving ads, folders and saved searches cost no credits, and a repeated search within an hour is free. Its home page offers a pay-as-you-go plan with onboarding bonus credits (“Free Forever Option”). 14-day money-back on Starter only, once per account, if you tracked 3 brands, saved 5 ads and logged in on 3 different days.

AdLibrary's MCP server and API are on Business only, at €329 a month, and spend API credits: 1 credit per search, 100 requests a minute and 10,000 a day per key. The reward is one search across Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, X and more, with AI breakdowns, spend estimates and replication briefs through the API. Cheaper plans (Starter at €29) have the library and the extension, not the server.

AdSwipeFile vs AdLibrary

6. Klipio

Klipio is AI ad intelligence and ad generation: it models your brand from your website, watches the competitors you pick in Meta's public Ad Library, mines their winning angles and turns them into on-brand ads you can push to Meta. New accounts are on a waitlist.

• MCP: Yes: a read-only Claude connector (remote MCP, OAuth), included at no extra cost; reads do not spend credits.
• API: Yes, a developer API; ads export as CSV or JSON.
• Price: Pro $79/mo, Agency $199/mo, Scale $399/mo billed monthly; annual “saves ~30%”, annual prices not shown.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan. 3-day free trial on every plan, card on Stripe. New accounts are waitlisted for now. Free Ad Library downloader, no account.

Klipio's connector is a read-only remote MCP for Claude with OAuth sign-in, included at no extra cost, and reads do not spend credits. Behind it sits what you set up: 15 to 100 competitors by plan, watched in Meta's public Ad Library. Pro is $79 a month, new accounts are on a waitlist and the 3-day trial needs a card. It reads only the public Ad Library and never touches your ad account.

Swipe files and workflow tools

These six let the assistant work with ads you save and boards you build, as well as search. Swipekit, Savepad and Eden can write (create boards, tag, file or schedule), which matters if you want the assistant to organise your swipe file, and Foreplay, Gethookd and Adspo expose their libraries.

7. Foreplay

Foreplay is a creative workflow suite for ad teams: a swipe file you fill from ad libraries with its Chrome extension, a searchable ad database (Discovery), competitor tracking (Spyder), Meta creative analytics (Lens) and briefs.

• MCP: Yes, hosted, sign in with a Foreplay account. Listed on Workflow and Agency, not on Basic.
• API: Yes, credit-based (1 ad = 1 credit). Its API page includes 10,000 credits a month with every plan and trial; its pricing page lists AI tools (MCP or API) from Workflow. Extra packs from $99/mo.
• Price: Basic $59/mo ($49/mo billed annually), Workflow $175/mo ($149), Agency $459/mo ($389), Enterprise custom. Basic covers the swipe file, Discovery and briefs; Workflow and Agency add Spyder, Lens and the MCP/API connections.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan. 7-day free trial with a card, then billed; 14-day money-back after the first charge.

Foreplay's MCP is hosted and you sign in with a Foreplay account. It sits on Workflow ($175 a month) and Agency, not Basic. Its API is credit-based, one ad per credit, and its API page says every plan and trial includes 10,000 credits a month while its pricing page lists AI tools from Workflow, so confirm which applies to you. Expensive for a connector; its own pages put its database at 100M+ ads, in figures that differ from page to page.

AdSwipeFile vs Foreplay, Foreplay alternatives

8. Swipekit

Swipekit is a swipe file you fill yourself: a Chrome extension saves ads from the Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries, TikTok Top Ads and organic posts, with brand tracking and an MCP server on every plan.

• MCP: Yes, on every plan, and it can create boards and tag ads. Its MCP page names Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini and shows operations to list ads, list boards, create a board, save an ad and tag an ad.
• API: Yes, on every plan: 2,000 API credits a month on Basic, 4,000 on Plus, 10,000 on Agency.
• Price: Basic $39/mo, Plus $69/mo, Agency $99/mo billed monthly ($26, $46 and $66 a month billed annually). All three include the swipe file, Multiplayer (the shared library), Brand Tracker, MCP, API and whitelabel share links.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan. First 14 days free, no credit card.

Swipekit's MCP is on every plan, from Basic at $39 a month, with the API. It is one of the few that writes: it can create boards and tag ads, so you can ask the assistant to file what it finds. Combined with 5 seats and brand tracking on the first plan, it is the lowest-priced route to a swipe file that an assistant can organise. Its shared library (1.5M ads on its pricing page) is the thing to check against your niche.

9. Gethookd

Gethookd is a Meta ad library with AI tools, tracking active Facebook and Instagram ads across ecommerce categories.

• MCP: Yes, with the API. Its pricing includes them on Team and Agency billed monthly and on every plan billed yearly; its FAQ puts AI agent access on Team and Agency only.
• API: Same as MCP.
• Price: Starter $29/mo ($19 billed yearly), Pro $49 ($32), Team $79 ($52), Agency $129 ($83). Searching and browsing the library costs no credits; actions do: 50, 150, 400 and 800 a month on monthly plans. Its feature list shows Clone Ads on every plan while its FAQ says Clone Ads starts on Pro.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan. 7-day trial for $0.

Gethookd's MCP comes with its API, and its own pages disagree on who gets it: the pricing page includes both on Team ($79 a month) and Agency billed monthly and on every plan billed yearly, while the FAQ puts AI agent access on Team and Agency only. Ask before buying a yearly Starter. It is a Facebook and Instagram library for ecommerce categories (22M+ active ads, by its claim), with Brand Spy on every plan.

AdSwipeFile vs Gethookd, Gethookd alternatives

10. Adspo

Adspo is an ad inspiration and creative intelligence tool for Facebook and Instagram ads: it groups ads by creative, tracks brands, and shows each brand's formats, hooks, landing pages and target countries.

• MCP: Yes, “MCP & API access” in Pro.
• API: Yes, in Pro.
• Price: Pro $29/mo billed monthly or $19/mo billed yearly; extra team seats $15/mo each ($10 billed yearly). Its FAQ also describes a Lite plan that its pricing page doesn't show.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan listed. 7-day trial on monthly, 14-day on yearly; 7-day money-back promise.

Adspo includes "MCP & API access" in its one Pro plan, $29 a month, so there is no plan to climb for it. It covers Facebook and Instagram ads grouped by creative, with unlimited brand tracking and alerts on new ads and scaling creatives. Its pages do not give call limits or the tool list, so ask what the server returns. A 7-day trial (14 on yearly) lets you test it.

11. Savepad

Savepad is a personal swipe file and bookmark manager for marketers, designers and developers: save links, screenshots, emails, PDFs, code and ad library links, sort them into folders and search everything. It has no AI inside, and new users join a waitlist before launch.

• MCP: Yes, on every plan; it can search and save, and file or bin with full control. Its pricing FAQ says you run the server yourself; its docs connect with a link made in Settings.
• API: Yes: 2, 5 or 20 assistant links and API tokens by plan.
• Price: Free; Light $5.99/mo, Ultra Pro Max Plus $10.99/mo in US dollars (€4.99 and €9.99 in euros, VAT included in the EU). Monthly only, no yearly plan.
• Free plan or trial: Free plan, no card: 150 saves, MCP and full export. Sign-ups are a waitlist for now.

Savepad's server is on every plan, the free one included, and can search and save and file or bin with full control. It is a private folder for what you save, not an ad database: links from the Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Google ad libraries are filed as ads, and the assistant works on your saves only. The pricing FAQ says you run the server yourself, while its docs connect with a link made in Settings, so read both before you set it up. Sign-ups are a waitlist.

12. Eden

Eden is an all-in-one workspace for creators and solopreneurs: save posts, articles and videos, research viral posts and long-running Meta and TikTok ads, schedule posts, and run a store and email list. Ad research is one part of it, from its Starter plan.

• MCP: Yes, for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others. Its MCP page: connecting is free on every plan, research calls spend AI credits; its pricing lists the MCP from Personal Plus.
• API: Yes, API keys for your workspace and store (help center).
• Price: Personal $9/mo, Personal Plus $15, Starter $29, Pro $79, Max $199 billed monthly ($7.50, $12.50, $25, $66 and $167 a month billed annually); Team $249/mo ($208 billed annually); Enterprise custom.
• Free plan or trial: Free plan, no card, no deadline: 100 saved items and a store page, no ad research. Team: 7-day free trial.

Eden's MCP is for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others, and connecting is free on every plan, but research calls spend AI credits. It can also schedule posts and work your boards and store, so it reaches beyond ads. Ad research itself (long-running Meta and TikTok ads, brand tracking) starts at Starter, $29 a month. Pick it if you want one assistant connection for ads, posts and a store.

Creative analytics and AI agents

These three read or act on your own ad accounts as well as searching ads. Atria and Motion offer read access to their analytics and libraries, and Sprites can change your connected ad accounts, each change behind your approval. Check what permissions you grant when you connect them.

13. Atria

Atria is a creative platform for Meta and TikTok advertisers: an ad library, analytics on your connected ad accounts, and an AI agent (Raya) that grades ads, writes briefs, generates ads and uploads them to Meta.

• MCP: Yes, hosted, for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. 600 calls a month on Core, unlimited from Plus; calls over the Core cap cost 1 AI credit each.
• API: Yes: 1,200 REST calls a month on Core, unlimited from Plus.
• Price: Core $219/mo, Plus $549/mo, Business $1,549/mo billed monthly ($129, $343 and $959 a month billed annually); Enterprise custom.
• Free plan or trial: A permanent free plan, no card, no time limit: 1 seat, 1 ad account, 1 followed brand, 1,000 AI credits and 30 MCP calls, all once (its help center); paid-plan trials are reviewed case by case.

Atria's MCP is hosted with OAuth sign-in: 600 calls a month on Core ($219 a month during a promotion) and unlimited from Plus. Its free plan gives 30 MCP calls and 30 API calls once, enough to test the connection. Its pages also list a REST API with 1,200 calls a month on Core, and an MCP quickstart with the tool list. Choose it if the point is analytics through the assistant, not a free ad search.

AdSwipeFile vs Atria, Atria alternatives

14. Motion

Motion is AI creative analytics: it reads your own ad accounts and shows which creatives work, with an AI analyst, leaderboards, AI tagging and reports. Inspiration (Inspo) is one part of it. Runneth, the AI marketing teammate Motion builds, comes with Starter and up.

• MCP: Yes, read-only, 14 tools by its count, Meta only for now; works with Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor; Owner, Admin and Collaborator roles can sign in (its help center).
• API: “Full data & MCP access” from Starter up.
• Price: Starter $999/mo for up to $50k monthly ad spend; Pro (over $50k) and Growth priced on a call. Growth is for spend over $125k on its pricing page and over $250k on Runneth's llm-info page.
• Free plan or trial: Free trial, no credit card (home page); 14 days, per its MCP help article. Runneth's llm-info page says trials start with a short setup call and self-serve signup isn't available yet.

Motion's server is read-only with 14 tools, Meta only for now, and "full data and MCP access" starts with Starter at $999 a month. Its MCP looks up any brand's ads. The trial needs no card (14 days, per its MCP help article). At that price it is a purchase for the analytics, with the ad lookup as a bonus.

AdSwipeFile vs Motion, Motion alternatives

15. Sprites

Sprites is an AI ads agent for startups: it plans, launches and optimizes campaigns in your own Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit ad accounts, with every change sent to you for approval. It also publishes a free Ads Library of tech and SaaS ads.

• MCP: Yes, on every plan, with read and write access to your connected accounts; every change needs your approval.
• API: “Custom API integrations and webhooks” from Grow.
• Price: Build $99/mo, Launch $495/mo, Grow $985/mo billed monthly ($66, $335 and $670 a month billed yearly); Scale on a call.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan (“every plan is paid”). Build and Launch start with a 7-day trial for $1.

Sprites' MCP is on every plan, from Build at $99 a month, and has read and write access to your connected ad accounts, every change needing your approval. That makes it the server with the most power here: it can plan and launch campaigns from Claude or ChatGPT. Its own Ads Library is tech and SaaS ads (203,641 creatives from 200 companies, by its count), so it is not the one for ecommerce examples.

Spy tools

These five put an ad spy tool behind the server: funnels, pixels, stores and TikTok Shop data, not only ad creatives. They are priced as spy tools, and most meter the server in credits or tokens.

16. AdPlexity

AdPlexity Social is a Meta ad spy tool for performance marketers that follows each ad past the click: landing pages, redirect chains, tech stack and affiliate offers, with an MCP server and API on its one plan. Native, push, desktop, mobile and adult ads are separate AdPlexity products.

• MCP: Yes, on every plan, with the API: 5,000 credits a month shared between them, one ad = one credit. Works with Claude and ChatGPT.
• API: Yes, on every plan, sharing the 5,000 monthly credits with the MCP.
• Price: AdPlexity Social: one plan, $99/mo, or $79/mo billed yearly; a Black Friday offer (until Nov 30) shows yearly at $69/mo. Other networks are separate subscriptions, $149 to $249/mo.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan. Its pricing FAQ says it doesn't offer free trials and offers a demo.

AdPlexity Social's MCP and API are on its one plan, $99 a month, sharing 5,000 credits a month at one credit per ad. It works with Claude and ChatGPT, and it follows each Meta ad to the landing page and redirect chain, so you can ask "what is the funnel behind this ad". No trial is offered (a demo instead).

17. Spytrend

Spytrend is a Facebook, Meta and TikTok ad spy for media buyers and affiliates: it groups ads by the webmaster behind them, linking pixels, landing domains and Page IDs into one competitor profile, sorted into 33 AI verticals, with an MCP server.

• MCP: Yes, hosted, OAuth sign-in, 22 tools. 40,000 tokens a month on paid plans, 500 once on a free account; extra 40,000 for $50.
• API: Yes: the same 22 tools over plain HTTP with OAuth.
• Price: Base $79/mo billed monthly with 1 AI category (more at $50/mo each); Pro Exclusive $79/mo prepaid 3 months with 5 categories; Enterprise $300/mo prepaid 6 months with all 33. Add-on sections from $249/mo. 14-day money-back on first payments.
• Free plan or trial: Free plan, no card: archive ads older than 90 days and 500 MCP tokens once.

Spytrend's server is hosted with OAuth sign-in and 22 tools, with 40,000 tokens a month on paid plans from $79 a month and a one-off allowance on the free account. Extra tokens are sold in blocks. The same 22 tools are open as an HTTP API. It covers Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and links ads by pixel, domain and Page ID, so it answers "what else does this advertiser run".

18. PiPiAds

PiPiAds is a TikTok and Facebook ad spy tool with TikTok Shop, product, store and app research, an ad tracker and an MCP server, on a credit system.

• MCP: Yes: a local MCP server and CLI (73 tools, mostly read-only, with write tools that create and cancel monitor tasks) run with an API key through Node.js 20 or later, with no hosted URL. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf and ChatGPT desktop are listed. API credits are billed separately from the site membership, through Pipispy: about 1 credit a result in a search, and nothing from the membership or an AI subscription carries over.
• API: Yes, an Open API billed in credits, separate from the membership; enterprise API through sales.
• Price: Basic $49/mo, Advanced $99/mo, Enterprise $900/mo, Flexible $180/mo billed monthly (shown against $69, $159 and $1,999 in a flash sale). Annual plans 50% off in a Q4 promotion until Dec 31: $294, $594, $5,400 and $1,080 a year. Extra credits from $50 for 10,000.
• Free plan or trial: A free trial with 500 credits: ad lists only, no ad details.

PiPiAds runs locally: a local MCP server and CLI with 73 tools, read and write, started with an API key. Its API credits are billed separately from the site membership, through Pipispy, so the $49 a month Basic plan is not the whole cost. The write tools can create and cancel monitoring tasks. It covers TikTok and Facebook, with TikTok Shop research.

19. WinningHunter

WinningHunter is ecommerce competitor and product research: an ad library across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and Google, a database of Shopify stores with estimated revenue, a brand tracker, TikTok Shop data and an MCP server.

• MCP: Yes, with the API, one key for both, 20 tools. Its own figures differ: 100 calls on Basic and 10K+ on Standard and Enterprise (plan cards), unlimited on every plan (plan comparison).
• API: Same as MCP.
• Price: Basic $49/mo, Standard $79/mo, Enterprise $249/mo billed monthly ($30, $49 and $150 billed yearly; $42, $68 and $212 billed quarterly). The ad library starts on Standard.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan or trial terms listed on its pricing page; its FAQ says you can start analysing for free.

WinningHunter's MCP comes with its API, one key for both and 20 tools. Its pages disagree on the limits: 100 calls on Basic and 10K+ on Standard and Enterprise in the plan cards, unlimited on every plan in the plan comparison. Basic is $49 a month but the ad library starts on Standard at $79. Use it when the question is a Shopify store's ads and traffic.

20. TrendTrack

TrendTrack is ecommerce intelligence for Shopify brands: a store database with traffic and best sellers, ad libraries for Meta, TikTok and Google, email flows, a Brandtracker for competitor stores, an MCP server and a free Chrome extension.

• MCP: Yes, with the API, from Pro, metered in credits; not on Starter.
• API: Same as MCP; rate limits from 20 requests a second, and custom API contracts on Enterprise.
• Price: Starter $49/mo, Pro $89/mo, Business $159/mo billed monthly ($34, $62 and $111 billed yearly; $41, $76 and $135 quarterly); Enterprise custom. Ads and emails start on Pro.
• Free plan or trial: No free plan or trial terms listed; its buttons read “Start Now for Free”.

TrendTrack's MCP comes with the API from Pro, $89 a month, metered in credits, and is not on Starter. It reaches a Shopify store database, ad libraries for Meta, TikTok and Google, and a Brandtracker. A better fit for "what is this store doing across ads, emails and traffic" than for browsing ad examples.

Does the Meta Ad Library have an MCP server?

Meta's own pages list none that we found. Meta offers the Ad Library website and the Ad Library API: Ad Library API: political and issue ads worldwide and ads delivered in the EU or UK, plus active public branded content for authorized users; needs an identity check and a developer app. Meta shows every ad while it runs. Once an ad stops, only social issue, election and political ads (kept 7 years) and ads delivered in the EU (kept a year after their last impression) stay in the library.

So the MCP servers on this page are built by other companies, on top of the public library or their own databases. That has two consequences. First, a vendor's server returns what that vendor holds, which may be a live read of the Ad Library (SpreshApp, Klipio) or its own archive. Second, the official API's limits do not apply to most commercial servers, which is why some can show ads for any brand, not only political or EU ads. See Meta Ad Library and the guide to saving ads from it.

What an MCP server is and which assistants support remote MCP

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call tools in another service. For ads, it means the assistant can search a library, read an ad's copy and write from it, instead of you pasting screenshots. A remote MCP server lives at a web address and you sign in to it; a local one (PiPiAds, and Savepad by one of its pages) runs on your own machine.

Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can connect to remote MCP servers. Which assistant plan allows custom connectors differs by product and changes, so check the assistant's own settings before you buy a plan for it. The vendors on this page name these clients: Claude and ChatGPT (AdPlexity, Eden), Cursor (Eden), Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes (SpreshApp) and a Claude connector (Klipio). AdSwipeFile's steps for each assistant are in the MCP docs.

What to check before you connect one

Five questions decide whether a server is safe and useful:

1. Read-only or write? Motion and Klipio are read-only. AdSwipeFile can follow brands and create, share and fill boards in your own account, Swipekit can create boards and tag ads, Savepad can save and file, AdLibrarySpy can save ads and write briefs, PiPiAds has write tools that create and cancel monitoring tasks, and Sprites can change your ad accounts behind your approval. Give write access only to a server you want to organise or act for you.
2. How do you sign in? OAuth (AdSwipeFile, Atria, Klipio, Spytrend) logs you in as yourself. An API key (SpreshApp, PiPiAds, WinningHunter, OpenAdLibrary as an option) is pasted into the client; treat it like a password and revoke it if a chat leaks.
3. What are the limits? Calls, credits or tokens per day or month. Compare them below.
4. Which plan includes it? The server is on the first plan for Swipekit, Adspo, Savepad, SpreshApp and AdSwipeFile, but only on Workflow for Foreplay, Team for Gethookd, Pro for TrendTrack, Business for AdLibrary and Founders for OpenAdLibrary.
5. What does it return? Ask whether it searches a live library or an archive, and whether ads stay after the brand stops running them. Most pages do not say.

How do I give ChatGPT or Claude access to real Facebook ad examples?

1. Pick a server from this page. To start free, AdSwipeFile (Meta ads, filed by brand, niche and format) or AdLibrarySpy (Meta ads and stores) both work on a free account.
2. Add it as a connector in your assistant, by its web address, and sign in when asked. AdSwipeFile's setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor are in the MCP docs.
3. Ask for ads, not opinions. Examples: "Pull the longest-running ads from [brand] and list their hooks word for word", "Show me testimonial ads in [niche] and group them by offer", "What new ads did the brands I follow launch this week?"
4. Treat the output as signals. Winning means kept running: brands rarely keep paying for ads that lose. Never take an ad's run or variations as proof of results.

Tools with no MCP server listed

The rest of our comparison data does not list an MCP server on the vendor's site: Meta Ad Library, TikTok Creative Center, AdSpy, Minea, BigSpy, PowerAdSpy, Dropispy, PrimeSpy, SwipeWell, Swiped.co, AdsLibrary.ai, Hooksy. For TikTok Creative Center, TikTok's own MCP server is for managing ad accounts, not for Top Ads. Hooksy says on a comparison page that it does not offer the same API and MCP depth as Foreplay. These may still be worth using without an assistant: see ad spy tools and ad swipe file tools.

Which one should you pick?

• Free, Meta ads, in Claude or ChatGPT today: AdSwipeFile or AdLibrarySpy.
• Live Facebook Ad Library search with AI: SpreshApp, or Klipio if you want competitor watching and ad generation.
• Many networks in one server: AdLibrary (Business) or OpenAdLibrary (Founders).
• An assistant that organises your swipe file: Swipekit or Savepad, because both can write.
• A large ad database behind an assistant: Foreplay (Workflow) or Gethookd (Team).
• The funnel behind an ad: AdPlexity Social. Pixel and domain maps: Spytrend.
• Stores, products and TikTok Shop: WinningHunter, TrendTrack (Pro) or PiPiAds.
• Your own ad-account analytics through the assistant: Atria or Motion; Sprites if you want it to act, with approvals.
