Facebook Ads MCP Server

This project provides an MCP server acting as an interface to the Facebook Ads, enabling programmatic access to Facebook Ads data and management features.

Easy One-Click Setup

For a simpler setup experience, we offer ready-to-use installers:

• ⊞ Windows: Download gomarble_mcp_tools.exe
•  MacOS: Download gomarble_mcp_tools.pkg

What It Does

• Installs and configures the MCP server locally
• Automatically handles environment setup
• Prompts for Facebook token authentication during the process which is optional
• If facebook access token is not provided then connect to GoMarble’s server to create the token on your behalf

Important Disclaimer

This setup does not require you to manually obtain a Facebook Developer Access Token.

Instead, it connects securely to GoMarble’s server to create the token on your behalf. GoMarble does not store your token — it is saved locally on your machine for use with the MCP server.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Dependencies listed in requirements.txt

1. (Optional but Recommended) Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venvScriptsactivate`
   

   Using a virtual environment helps manage project dependencies cleanly[Source].

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Obtain Facebook Access Token: Secure a Facebook User Access Token with the necessary permissions (e.g., ads_read). You can generate this through the Facebook Developer portal. Follow this link.

Usage with MCP Clients (e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop)

To integrate this server with an MCP-compatible client, add a configuration(Claude) similar to the following. Replace YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual token and adjust the path to server.py if necessary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fb-ads-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
        "--fb-token",
        "YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      ]
      // If using a virtual environment, you might need to specify the python executable within the venv:
      // "command": "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
      // "args": [
      //   "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
      //   "--fb-token",
      //   "YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      // ]
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP Client app after making the update in the configuration.

(Note: On Windows, you might need to adjust the command structure or use cmd /k depending on your setup.)

Debugging the Server

Execute server.py, providing the access token via the --fb-token argument.

python server.py --fb-token YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN

Available MCP Tools

This MCP server provides tools for interacting with Facebook Ads objects and data:

(Note: Most tools support additional parameters like fields, filtering, limit, pagination, date ranges, etc. Refer to the detailed docstrings within server.py for the full list and description of arguments for each tool.)

(Note: If your Facebook access token expires, you’ll need to generate a new one and update the configuration file of the MCP Client with new token to continue using the tools.)

Dependencies

• mcp (>=1.6.0)
• requests (>=2.32.3)
