Connecting Ad Platforms via MCP: ROAS Queries and Trust Boundaries for Write Ops
blendai_jack · reddit · 2026-07-06
A user shared their experience integrating Meta and Google ad accounts with an AI assistant via the MCP protocol. This allows for querying cross-platform metrics like ROAS and CPA using natural language, eliminating the need to manually export and merge dashboards. Their strategy involves fully opening read-access while setting up human confirmation gates for write operations (like adjusting budgets or pausing ads), noting that read-side value is immediate. The post also sparked discussions on setting trust boundaries for MCP in non-coding scenarios like marketing, finance, and operations—the author argues that while connecting at the protocol layer is easy, the real challenge is deciding how much autonomy to grant the AI.
