Duplicate Meta Campaign

IMPORTANT: This creates a NEW real campaign in Meta Ads. The duplicate starts in PAUSED status by default for review. This tool copies the entire campaign structure including:
Campaign settings (objective, budget strategy)
All ad sets (targeting, budgets, schedules)
All ads (creatives, text, CTAs)
Returns:
Original and new campaign IDs
New campaign status
Ads Manager URL for the new campaign
Next steps for review and activation
When to use this tool:
“Duplicate my campaign”
“Copy campaign [ID]”
“Create a copy of this campaign”
“I want to A/B test with a copy of my campaign”
“Clone my campaign with different targeting”
Parameters:
campaign_id: The Meta Campaign ID to duplicate (required)
new_name: Name for the new campaign (optional, defaults to original + ” - Copy”)
status: Status for new campaign — ‘PAUSED’ (default, recommended) or ‘ACTIVE’
Execution time: 10-30 seconds (depends on campaign size) Creates: New real campaign in Meta Ads Common use cases:
A/B Testing: Duplicate, then modify targeting or creative on the copy
Seasonal variants: Copy a proven campaign, update copy and dates
New market expansion: Duplicate, change location targeting
Budget testing: Copy, change budget levels
Workflow:
Use list_meta_campaigns to find the campaign ID
Use duplicate_meta_campaign to create the copy
Use update_meta_campaign or update_meta_ad_set to modify the copy
Use resume_meta_campaign when ready to launch

  description: >-
    REST endpoints for every ADSMCP tool. Same surface as the MCP server, over
    plain HTTP for consumers that can't speak SSE (n8n, Zapier, Make, curl, any
    language's HTTP client).


    ## Envelope

    Every request wraps tool-specific input in an `arguments` object:

    ```json

    { "arguments": { <tool-specific fields> } }

    ```

    Every response wraps the result in either a success envelope (`success:
    true`, `data: {...}`) or an error envelope (`success: false`, `error:
    "..."`, `is_error: true`).


    ## Authentication

    Pass your API key as `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` on every request.
    Generate keys at https://adsmcp.si/dashboard/api-tokens.


    ## Quota & billing

    Every successful billable call decrements your monthly tool-call allowance.
    The current counter is attached to every 200 response under `data.quota`:

    ```json

    "quota": { "used": 42, "limit": 150, "tier": "plus", "period_end":
    "2026-05-01" }

    ```

    When the limit is hit, the API returns HTTP 402 with a full `quota` block
    including `upgrade_url`. Read-only diagnostic tools (`get_usage_status`,
    `list_connected_accounts`, `get_connections_status`) are exempt and never
    consume quota.


    ## Idempotency

    Write operations accept an `Idempotency-Key: <uuid>` header. A repeated call
    with the same key returns the cached result rather than executing twice.
    **Strongly recommended for n8n, Zapier, and any retry-prone client** — it
    prevents duplicate campaigns when networks misbehave. Generate a fresh UUID
    per logical operation (not per retry).


    ## Multi-account users

    Customers with multiple connected accounts on the same platform (e.g. an
    agency with 10 Meta ad accounts) must specify which account to use via
    `ad_account_id`, `customer_id`, `advertiser_id`, or `account_id` depending
    on the platform. Omitting it returns HTTP 400 with a list of valid account
    IDs. See `list_connected_accounts` to discover available IDs.


    ## HTTP status codes

    - `200` — success (parse `data`)

    - `400` — tool-level error (surface `error` to users)

    - `401` — bad/missing API key

    - `402` — ADSMCP quota exhausted

    - `404` — unknown tool name

    - `429` — upstream ad platform rate-limited us (Meta/Google/etc.) — retry
    with backoff

    - `500` — server error, report to support


    ## Streaming

    This endpoint is plain request-response JSON. There is **no SSE, no chunked
    streaming**. Safe to use from n8n Cloud's HTTP Request node, Zapier
    Webhooks, Make HTTP module, curl, and every mainstream HTTP library.

      summary: Duplicate Meta Campaign
      description: >-
        User wants to duplicate/copy an existing Meta campaign with all its ad
        sets, ads, and settings.


        IMPORTANT: This creates a NEW real campaign in Meta Ads. The duplicate
        starts in PAUSED status by default for review.


        This tool copies the entire campaign structure including:

        - Campaign settings (objective, budget strategy)

        - All ad sets (targeting, budgets, schedules)

        - All ads (creatives, text, CTAs)


        Returns:

        - Original and new campaign IDs

        - New campaign status

        - Ads Manager URL for the new campaign

        - Next steps for review and activation


        When to use this tool:

        - "Duplicate my campaign"

        - "Copy campaign [ID]"

        - "Create a copy of this campaign"

        - "I want to A/B test with a copy of my campaign"

        - "Clone my campaign with different targeting"


        Parameters:

        - campaign_id: The Meta Campaign ID to duplicate (required)

        - new_name: Name for the new campaign (optional, defaults to original +
        " - Copy")

        - status: Status for new campaign — 'PAUSED' (default, recommended) or
        'ACTIVE'


        Execution time: 10-30 seconds (depends on campaign size)

        Creates: New real campaign in Meta Ads


        Common use cases:

        1. A/B Testing: Duplicate, then modify targeting or creative on the copy

        2. Seasonal variants: Copy a proven campaign, update copy and dates

        3. New market expansion: Duplicate, change location targeting

        4. Budget testing: Copy, change budget levels


        Workflow:

        1. Use `list_meta_campaigns` to find the campaign ID

        2. Use `duplicate_meta_campaign` to create the copy

        3. Use `update_meta_campaign` or `update_meta_ad_set` to modify the copy

        4. Use `resume_meta_campaign` when ready to launch
