Research Competitor Ads on Meta with Claude

Ask Claude to find and analyze the ads other brands are running on Facebook and Instagram — no account connection required, though EU/UK coverage is what Meta's public API actually returns.

This is public research, not account access — nothing here touches your own Meta Ads account, spend, or campaigns. Claude reads Meta's official Ad Library API to see what other advertisers are running, with no ad account ID and no personal connection needed.

What you can research with Meta Ad Library

Ask Claude to find a competitor's Page and pull every active ad it is running, or search by keyword to see who else is advertising in a category. No setup is needed beyond having MCP Ads connected at all.

  • "Find every ad Brand X is running right now"
  • "What creative angles is this competitor testing?"
  • "Search for active ads mentioning [keyword] in my category"

The coverage limit worth knowing upfront

Meta's public Ad Library website shows every active ad in most countries, but its official API — what Claude actually reads — only returns ordinary commercial ads for ads delivered in the EU or UK. Everywhere else, including the US, it returns only political and social-issue ads, so a US-only competitor search through this tool will come back empty by Meta's own rule, not a broken connection.

  • EU/UK advertisers: full commercial ad coverage
  • US and most other markets: political/social-issue ads only, via this tool
  • For non-EU/UK commercial competitor research, use Google Ads Transparency instead — it covers 180+ countries with no such restriction
