Connect Claude Code to AdKit
Connect Claude Code to AdKit and manage Meta, Google, TikTok, and Reddit ads from the terminal. Pick the CLI path (recommended) or the MCP server.
Recommended: let Claude Code set it up
Paste this into Claude Code. It installs the AdKit CLI and connects it for you:
Help me set up AdKit.
1. Install the CLI: npm i -g @adkit/cli
2. Run `adkit setup` and send me the login URL so I can finish authentication.
3. Wait for me to finish login in the browser.
4. Run `adkit checkin --agent claude-code`.
5. Tell me if AdKit is connected and ready. If not, tell me what failed.
If you cannot install or run the AdKit CLI here, stop and tell me to use the MCP setup instead.
Alternative: MCP server
- Add the server in Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http adkit https://mcp.adkit.so - Then paste this to confirm it works:
Use the AdKit MCP server you just added and run the AdKit checkin tool with agentId: "claude-code". If sign-in is needed, send me the link and wait for me to finish. Then tell me if AdKit is connected and ready. If not, tell me what failed.
What you can do
Once connected, Claude Code can pull your live campaigns, draft budget and targeting changes, generate ad creatives, and research competitors. Nothing goes live on its own: every change is saved as a draft for you to review and publish.
Troubleshooting
AdKit is not in the plugin or MCP directory.
Correct, it isn't listed there yet. Use the setup prompt above or the claude mcp add command instead.
adkit: command not found.
The CLI is not installed in that environment. Run npm i -g @adkit/cli and try again.
The MCP server is added but tools fail or ask for auth.
Run /mcp in Claude Code, complete the browser sign-in for adkit, then retry in a fresh session.
It worked before and stopped (MCP path).
The MCP authorization expires after about 30 days without use. Run /mcp and re-authenticate. CLI connections use an API key that doesn't expire; check them with adkit status.
