Quick Fix: Connection Issues
If ADSMCP tools aren’t responding or you see connection errors, try these steps in order: 1. Check Tool Permissions In your AI client’s connector settings, make sure:- Read tools (performance, research, status) → Always allow
- Write tools (campaign creation, budget changes) → Custom (ask each time)
- Claude: Customize → Connectors → ADSMCP Ads & Performance Marketing Agent → Disconnect → Connect again → Complete OAuth
- ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → remove the plugin you created → Plugins → Add → Add custom MCP server with
https://mcp.adsmcp.si/mcp→ Create as a plugin → Complete OAuth. (The ADSMCP plugin from the directory is having issues; switch to the custom MCP server.) - Cursor: Customize → MCP → toggle
adsmcpoff and on → Complete OAuth - Grok Bot: Marketplace → ADSMCP → Authorize
- Claude Code:
/plugin→ Installed tab → adsmcp → Authenticate (or/mcp→ plugin:adsmcp-ads-agent:adsmcp MCP Server → Authenticate)
- Go to adsmcp.ai
- Log out (avatar → Sign out)
- Log back in
- Return to your AI client and retry
[!NOTE]
These steps apply when nothing works — not even get_connections_status or basic tools. If some platforms work but one doesn’t, that’s a platform-specific issue. Reconnect just that platform at adsmcp.ai/connections.
[!TIP]
Check the right connection first. ADSMCP has two sign-ins that are easy to confuse: your AI-client connection (the ChatGPT/Claude link to ADSMCP) and your ad-platform sign-in. When every platform fails at once it’s the AI-client connection; when one fails and the others work it’s that platform. To see the real error rather than guessing, ask your assistant “why did my recent calls fail?” — the free why_did_this_fail tool lists your recent failed actions with the platform’s actual message behind each.

[!NOTE] You can also use the in-app support chat at the bottom-right of adsmcp.ai. It now accepts screenshot attachments (PNG/JPEG — paperclip, paste, or drag-and-drop), so you can show a visual issue instead of describing it, and your conversation resumes where you left off for up to 7 days.
