How it works

One MCP server, one API key, four ad libraries. Your AI assistant talks MCP — Adextract does the searching and analyzing.

Quickstart

1. Get a free API key at adextract.co (account → API keys).
2. Add the server to Cursor with the config below.
3. Ask your AI: "Show me Nike's active Facebook ads in the US".

There is nothing to install locally. Adextract runs as a hosted MCP server, so it works in any MCP-capable client.

Use cases

• Competitor ad intelligence - see what your competitors are running across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
• Creative analysis - ad_reader breaks any ad creative into format, audience, emotion, and archetypes.
• Brand monitoring - track ads for any brand or domain across four ad libraries.
• Channel strategy - built-in MCP prompts turn ad data into channel plans.
