The safe CLI for Meta Ads
The only Facebook Ads CLI with drafts & safeguards
Meta's CLI is powerful. But it talks directly to your live account. AdKit adds the missing piece: every change is a draft until you approve it.

"My agent analyzed my account using Adkit, found what to optimize, and drafted all the changes on its own. I only had to click 'Approve'. The first 30 minutes already saved me 8 hours of work."
Meta's Ads Manager is 15 clicks too many
- Click through Business Manager for 45 minutes to launch one campaign
- Export campaign data to spreadsheets just to see performance
- No bulk operations. Duplicate ad sets one by one
- ...or use Meta's CLI with no safety net and pray nothing breaks
- 1. Run a commandOne line in your terminal. Your agent or script handles the rest.
- 2. Review the draftEverything is a draft first. Preview campaigns, creatives, targeting, budgets.
- 3. Publish when readyNothing touches your live account until you explicitly approve.
"Before AdKit, I wasn't sure what I needed to change about my ads. And even if I knew, I wouldn't have known where to change it because the ads UIs are so complicated."
"What about Meta's official Ads CLI?"
Meta released their own Ads CLI in April 2026. It's good. Full CRUD: create campaigns, pull insights, manage catalogs. Built for automation and CI/CD pipelines. Officially maintained.
The problem? It connects your agent or script directly to your live Meta ad account. Every command executes immediately. Create a campaign with the wrong budget? Live. Pause the wrong ad set? Done. No drafts. No review step. No undo.
Community CLIs (like attainmentlabs) are lighter, YAML-driven. Same problem: no safety layer. Plus less maintained and narrower scope.
Your Meta ad account isn't disposable. It's years of pixel data, trained audiences, and campaign history. You probably want something between your CLI and all of that.
Same write power. With a safety net.
Your CLI commands create drafts in AdKit. You preview everything in the dashboard: campaigns, creatives, targeting, budgets. Then publish when ready. Your live account stays untouched until you explicitly approve.
AdKit connects as a reviewed Meta Tech Partner using the official Marketing API. Built-in error handling, request validation, and rate limiting. Full write access, draft-first.
"Other tools I found were just small proxies for ad platform APIs. One bad call and you could mess up a live campaign. What I like about AdKit is that everything goes through a draft first. I review before anything goes live. That "buffer" between your agent and Meta is what makes it safe to use."

Built by someone who actually runs ads
Hi there 👋 I'm Nico, the founder of AdKit 😄
Before building startups, I was a media buyer. I managed over $1,000,000 in Ads, sold two startups grown with ads, and helped 1,000+ makers learn Meta Ads through my online guides.
I love ads but... it involves a lot of repetitive, boring work 😩 And I hated every second of it. So I built AdKit to fix that.
To let me and other marketers focus on the fun parts: the strategy, the thinking, the creativity. And not have to waste my time clicking around in buggy interfaces.
It's the app I always dreamed of, and I hope you'll like it too 😀
You're probably wondering...
Every change is a draft by default. Your CLI commands create campaigns, ad sets, and ads in AdKit's dashboard. Nothing touches your Meta account until you approve it.
Safety. Meta's CLI goes straight to your live account. Every command executes immediately. AdKit adds drafts: same write power, but nothing goes live without your explicit approval.
Yes. AdKit doesn't replace it. You can use AdKit's CLI standalone, or wrap Meta's CLI with AdKit's safety layer. Both work.
No. AdKit handles auth. One command to connect your Meta ad account, no token setup, no OAuth dance.
Built-in ad strategy.
10 years of playbooks included.
AdKit comes with a free Meta Ads Skill for your agents, based on 10 years of real-world ad buying. Your agent knows how to structure campaigns, write ad copy, spot creative fatigue, and optimize budgets without you spelling it out.
Never open Business Manager again.
45 minutes per campaign launch. Longer if you're still learning the interface. Your Agent + AdKit Meta CLI skips it entirely.
"Meta's Business Manager is painfully slow. Go back to campaign, go back to ad set, duplicate, etc, it take hours. So much time burned. With AdKit I just tell Claude what I want and it handles the rest. What used to be 30 minutes takes seconds now"
