The old way wastes your time

Researching competitor Meta ads used to mean manual browsing and a painful copy-paste loop.

Before

Open the Meta Ads Library, search each competitor brand manually
Screenshot ad copy, paste CTA text, note formats. Repeat for every ad.
Do this for 5 brands. Lose 4 hours. Miss half the ads because pagination is painful.
Compile everything into a doc, then upload to Claude to ask your question
Start from scratch again the next time you need fresh creative intelligence

After

Open Claude
"Search Meta Ads Library for [brand]'s active ads and tell me what messaging they are leading with"
Claude searches, pulls ad copy, formats, and CTAs, then analyses patterns
Compare two brands, filter by format, check historical ads - no starting over
Done.

Meta Ads Library vs your own Meta Ads account. This tool searches any brand's public ads from Meta's transparency database - no account connection required. If you want to analyse your own campaign performance, ROAS, and audience data, that is a separate set of tools that connects to your own Meta Ads account. Both are included in the same connector.

How it works

Three steps from zero to live competitor ad intelligence inside Claude.

Sign up and connect

Create a free account, paste the MCP connector URL into Claude Settings, and sign in with your Smacient credentials. No Meta account connection required for Ads Library tools.

Ask Claude

Just name the brand. "Search Meta Ads Library for Mamaearth's active ads, filter to video format only, and tell me what CTAs they are using most."

Get insights

Built for marketing teams

Three Meta Ads Library workflows that now happen inside Claude instead of manual Ads Library browsing.

Pre-Campaign Creative Intelligence

Before briefing your creative team, ask Claude to pull a competitor's active ads and identify the headline patterns, offer angles, and formats they are investing in right now. Use it to spot what your category is already saturated with.

"Search Meta Ads Library for [competitor]'s active ads. What are the most common headline patterns and what offers are they leading with this month?"

Saves ~4 hours per campaign brief

Weekly Competitor Ad Tracking

Monitor 5 competitor Facebook pages every week. Ask Claude to pull their new active ads from the last 7 days and surface what messaging or formats they introduced. Automated-feeling intelligence without any automation.

"Search Meta Ads Library for [brand1] and [brand2], filter to active ads from the last 7 days. What new messaging have they introduced this week?"

Saves ~3 hours per week

Client Ad Audits Before Strategy Calls

Client wants a competitive paid social audit before the quarterly review. Pull their brand plus three competitors, compare active ad formats, messaging themes, and CTA usage. Hand over the brief the same day without opening the Ads Library once.

"Search Meta Ads Library for [client], [competitor1], and [competitor2]. Compare their active ad formats, messaging themes, and most common CTAs."

Saves ~6 hours per client audit

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Meta account or Facebook Business access?

No. The Meta Ads Library is a public transparency tool. The connector accesses the same data visible to anyone at facebook.com/ads/library without logging in. You do not need a Meta account, Facebook Business Manager, or any developer setup.

What is the difference between Meta Ads Library and Meta Ads account tools?

Meta Ads Library lets you research any brand's public ads on Facebook and Instagram - no account connection required and credits are charged per extraction. The Meta Ads account tools connect to your own Meta Ads account via OAuth to pull your spend, ROAS, campaign performance, and audience data - those are free to use once connected. Both are included in the same connector.

How many ads can I pull per brand?

Up to 100 ads per brand or Facebook page per call. You can filter by active or inactive status, set a date range (last 7, 14, or 30 days), and sort by most impressions or most recent to focus on what matters most.

Can I research any brand's ads, including competitors?

Yes. The Meta Ads Library is a public transparency tool - any brand that runs ads on Facebook or Instagram has their active ads publicly visible there. The connector gives Claude structured access to that same public data for any advertiser by brand name or Facebook page URL.

Which Claude plans does the connector work with?

The connector works with Claude.ai (Pro and Team plans support custom connectors), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. Any Claude client that supports MCP will work.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use them at your own pace.
