Claude for PPC: Connect Your Ad Accounts With One Connector

AdPlug's all-platforms connector puts Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads (formerly Bing Ads) and Reddit Ads into Claude as one custom connector, at https://api.adplug.app/mcp. You connect each platform once in AdPlug with its own sign-in, then add AdPlug to Claude and approve it once.

Claude can then read every connected ad account in the same chat. On a paid AdPlug plan (which a second platform needs anyway), it can also make the changes you approve after a preview. So a question that crosses channels gets one answer:

• Compare spend, conversions and cost per conversion across every platform, blended and by channel.
• Find the channel that's wasting money, down to the campaign, keyword or placement.
• Plan budget moves between channels, with each change previewed before it runs.
• Build one weekly report for every platform, as a client-ready PDF or a dashboard you can share.
• Run one morning check across everything: what stopped spending, tracking that went quiet, rejected ads.

That's the Monday cross-channel report without the five exports (and the spreadsheet holding them together).

Here's what Claude can read on each platform through the all-platforms connector. On a paid AdPlug plan it can also make changes on each one, and AdPlug tells Claude to preview each change first.

HubSpot and Google Search Console aren't part of this connector. Each has its own AdPlug connector: here's how to connect HubSpot to Claude and connect Google Search Console to Claude.

AdPlug has two kinds of connector for Claude, and both use the same AdPlug account.

Add both and Claude sees the same tools twice. They work the same way, so keep one and remove the other.

Custom connectors work on Claude's Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, on claude.ai and the desktop app, per Anthropic's custom connector guide (checked 29 October 2026). The Free plan allows one custom connector, and the all-platforms connector fits every ad platform you've connected into that one slot.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors. Each member then connects their own account from Settings → Connectors.

On AdPlug's side, the free plan is view only and connects one ad platform, with unlimited ad accounts on it. A second platform, and any changes, need a paid plan: Pro, Max or Agency.

From a new AdPlug account to Claude answering questions across your ad platforms takes a few minutes. You sign in to each ad platform once in AdPlug, then to AdPlug once in Claude.

1. 1

   Create your AdPlug account

   Go to adplug.app/signup, sign in with Google or email, and follow the short onboarding. It ends on your AdPlug dashboard.

   

2. 2

   Connect your ad platforms in AdPlug

   Open the Connections page and click Connect Google Ads, Connect LinkedIn Ads and so on for each platform you run. Each one sends you to that platform's own sign-in. Use the login that can see the ad accounts you want Claude to work on.

   One sign-in covers every ad account that login reaches, so connecting a Google Ads manager account (MCC) brings in every account under it (more on that in AdPlug for agencies). AdPlug's free plan connects one ad platform, and adding a second needs a paid plan.

   

   Each platform's guide in section 02 walks through its own sign-in screen. Meta Ads also asks which ad accounts and Pages to share, so tick the Pages you advertise from too.

3. 3

   Add the connector to Claude

   Open Add custom connector in Claude. Paste the name and the URL below, then click Continue.

   The link opens the form straight away. Without it, go to Customize → Connectors in Claude, click Add, then Add custom connector.

   Name

   AdPlug

   Copy

   URL

   https://api.adplug.app/mcp

   Copy

   

   On the next screen, Claude has already detected how AdPlug signs you in. Under Authentication, Sign in now is selected and marked Detected. Under OAuth client, so is Register automatically. Leave both as they are and click Add.

   

4. 4

   Authorise Claude to use AdPlug

   Claude then shows the AdPlug connector page, which says “You're not connected to AdPlug yet.” (Adding a connector and connecting it are two separate clicks.) Click Connect.

   

   Claude sends you to AdPlug. Sign in if it asks, with the same email as your AdPlug account, and click Approve. You're then back in Claude with AdPlug connected, and that one approval covers every ad platform you connected in step 2. Platforms you connect later work too, without adding or approving the connector again.

   

5. 5

   Test it with a real question

   Start a new chat with AdPlug switched on in the tools menu and ask:

   “Check my ad accounts across every platform for the last 30 days, put together a performance snapshot, and tell me what needs my attention.”

   Claude pulls the last 30 days from each connected platform and comes back with one snapshot. If a platform you connected is missing from it, the fix is in Troubleshooting.

These prompts work across platforms, so they need at least two connected, and that needs a paid AdPlug plan. With one platform connected, Claude answers for that one. More copy-paste prompts live in the prompt playbooks.

Connecting your ad accounts to Claude is as safe as the limits around it. These are AdPlug's:

• Each platform's own sign-in. You connect every ad platform with its own login (OAuth), and AdPlug stores those sign-ins encrypted. Disconnecting a platform deletes AdPlug's stored sign-in.
• A preview, then your OK. Each platform has a preview tool, which shows the exact change without applying it, and an execute tool, which applies it. AdPlug tells Claude to show you the preview and wait for your OK. On Google Ads, the execute step applies only the exact change that was previewed. New campaigns are created paused by default on Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads and Reddit Ads, and as drafts on LinkedIn Ads.
• Claude's own permissions. On the AdPlug connector's page in Claude, Tool permissions lists AdPlug's tools in two groups, Read-only tools and Write/delete tools, each with its own setting. Previews sit with the read-only tools, because they don't change anything. Leave Write/delete tools on Needs approval and Claude asks you before every change runs.
• View only where you want it. The free plan is view only. On Max and Agency, a team owner can set a teammate to View only per platform, which hides the change tools from them.
• A record of what ran. Report calls and executed changes are recorded in your AdPlug Usage and Audit Log.
