Meta Ads - Audiences & Creative

6 skills Claude can run against your live accounts through MCP Ads. Each one lists who it is for and the phrase that triggers it.

Audience and creative skills deal with the two levers that matter most on Meta: who sees the ad and whether they are tired of it. The creative fatigue detector is a weekly job, usually Monday, because frequency climbs and performance falls faster on Meta than on search. The audience overlap detector runs when CPMs rise without a market reason, or whenever new ad sets are added to an account that already has many. Creative testing and refresh skills run before a new batch of ads goes live and again a couple of weeks later to pick winners. Agencies, in-house social teams and eCommerce owners who make their own creative all use these. The Meta ad account must be connected through MCP Ads; for competitor-informed creative work, the Meta Ad Library tools need no extra connection. Claude reads ad performance with frequency, ad set performance, audience definitions, creative details and delivery insights, then applies the skill's thresholds. The output for fatigue is a list of ads to refresh, pause or replace, each with the frequency and the performance trend that triggered it. For audiences it is a map of which ad sets overlap and a consolidation or exclusion plan. For creative it is a brief: hooks, angles and formats to test next, grounded in what has already worked in the account.

Prompt
Which of our Meta ads are fatigued this week and what should replace them?
Claude calls meta_ads_ad_performance for the last 14 days with frequency and meta_ads_frequency to trend each ad, then meta_ads_ad_creatives to see what each one actually shows. It lists ads where frequency has climbed past the skill's threshold and click-through rate or ROAS has fallen for two consecutive weeks, and separates them into refresh (same concept, new visual), pause, and leave alone. For the ones to replace it looks at the best-performing creatives in the account and suggests, for example, two new variations of the winning hook in a different format such as carousel or short video. Any pausing happens only with your approval.

Frequently asked questions

What frequency counts as fatigue?

The skills use a threshold that depends on the campaign objective and audience size, and always pair it with a performance drop, so a high-frequency ad that still converts is not flagged.

Can Claude generate the replacement images?

Yes, the creative tools in MCP Ads can generate ad images from a brief. The skills produce the brief first so you can adjust the angle before anything is rendered.
