Meta just released Ads MCP. This is where Facebook Ads ops is going imo
Meta released Ads AI Connectors in open beta yesterday.

From their post, it is basically MCP + CLI for Meta ads. MCP can connect your AI tool to the ad account through Meta auth, and they say no developer credentials, API setup or coding required.
It can pull reports, create/edit campaigns, manage catalogs/product feeds, and check signal diagnostics.
The interesting part to me is how normal this makes AI inside ad ops.
I have been using the Meta API a bit for client work, but very carefully. Mostly read-only or staged. Pull performance. Compare against CRM lead quality. Check events/offline conversions. Draft changes. Then review before anything goes live.
Meta always felt more scary than Google for this stuff, at least to me because of these recent posts about ban-waves.
So the official MCP is quite interesting and seems like a stamp of approval.
For reporting and diagnostics, great. For catalog/feed issues, probably very useful. For campaign creation, maybe useful if the account structure and naming rules are clear. For live edits to budgets, bids, exclusions or conversion settings, I would still want approvals and a change log.
And also the context problem is still there too.
Meta can tell you a campaign got leads. It cannot tell you if those leads were trash in the CRM, if sales ignored them, if the form broke, or if the conversion event is inflated.
So I think the good setup is Meta as one source inside the whole client workspace.
Curious how people are thinking about using it.
Mostly read-only reporting? Campaign creation? Actual live edits?
