ChatGPT Ads with Adako

Adako is an MCP server and REST API that connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants to Google Ads, Meta Ads, ChatGPT Ads, TikTok Ads and LinkedIn Ads. This skill covers ChatGPT Ads: 23 tools behind two routers, chatgpt_ads for reads and chatgpt_ads_write for changes.

chatgpt_ads(action="execute", tool_name="chatgpt_list_campaigns", arguments={"ad_account_id":"acct_123"})
chatgpt_ads_write(action="execute", tool_name="chatgpt_pause_campaign", arguments={...})

chatgpt_get_performance is callable by name. The Create, Change and Pause and resume tools below, and chatgpt_archive_campaign, go through chatgpt_ads_write, and each one becomes a proposal the user approves. Everything else goes through chatgpt_ads, where list_tools and get_tool_schema are free for every ChatGPT Ads tool, changes included. Never look anything up through chatgpt_ads_write.

Account contract

• Connection is an advertiser API key the user pastes into Adako. One key is one account. A

second account means a second key, pasted separately.

• ad_account_id is a string. Omit it to use the primary ChatGPT Ads account.
• Money is a decimal in the account currency. The API takes micros; Adako converts, you never do.

The platform floor is 1.00 for both the lifetime budget and the daily cap.

• A lifetime budget is required on a campaign. A daily cap is optional.
• Geo targeting is a campaign setting, not an ad group setting.

chatgpt_archive_campaign is permanent and needs confirm_delete: true. Pause instead, unless the user asks for archiving by name and understands it cannot be undone.

What the platform sells

• Objectives: reach, clicks, conversions.
• The platform bids towards impressions, clicks or conversions. There is no automatic bidding: every ad

group needs a maximum bid, as a CPM (per 1,000 impressions) for reach, per click for clicks and a target cost per conversion for conversions. Ask the user for it; do not invent one.

• Billing is on impressions or clicks.
• chatgpt_get_account_limits returns the live list for that account, plus its currency, timezone

and review state. Read it before proposing an objective; do not assume from memory.

The chat card

One ad format. Limits, enforced before anything is created:

chatgpt_validate_chat_card checks all of it against a real fetch of the image URL. Run it before proposing the launch; a card that fails review costs a review cycle.

Context hints are free text that steers where the ads appear. They are hints, not keywords, and they belong to the ad group.

Launching

1. chatgpt_get_account and chatgpt_get_account_limits: currency, timezone, account review state,

what this account may buy.

1. chatgpt_geo_lookup for every place name. Without geo targeting the platform chooses where the

campaign runs, which is rarely what a local advertiser wants.

1. chatgpt_list_pixels and chatgpt_get_pixel_settings when the objective is conversions. The

optimisation event must exist on the pixel and have recent traffic.

1. chatgpt_validate_chat_card on the copy and image.
2. validate_campaign_draft on the diagnostics router for a full dry run

(platform: "chatgpt_ads", campaign_type: "chat_card").

1. chatgpt_launch_ad uploads the image first, then builds campaign, ad group and one chat card ad,

all PAUSED, so a rejected image leaves nothing behind. Dates are days in the account time zone. It costs 8 tasks, so say so before calling it.

1. Read back the ids and the review verdict. Approval is not instant; chatgpt_list_ads reports the

verdict and the reason when it arrives.

To extend a campaign that exists: chatgpt_create_ad_group (2 tasks) and chatgpt_create_ad (3 tasks), both paused.

Reading results

chatgpt_get_performance reports impressions, clicks, spend, conversions and the ratios derived from them, broken down by campaign, ad group or ad, next to the equally long period before it. There is no search-term report and no placement report on this platform; the useful breakdown is by ad, and the useful diagnosis is the review verdict on chatgpt_list_ads.

Do not

• Do not archive when the user said stop. Pause keeps the history and can be undone.
• Do not put a place name into a write call. Resolve it first.
• Do not propose a conversions objective without a pixel that fires the event.
• Do not paste an API key into the chat. Keys are added in the Adako web app.
