AdWhispr - Research, Clone, & Launch Ads from Claude/ChatGPT

adwhispr-mcp-server

See who is running ads in your space, clone a winning ad for your brand, and launch it, all from a chat. This connects Claude (or any MCP client) to AdWhispr.

The whole loop happens in one conversation:

1. Research. Find the brands advertising in your space right now and see their longest-running ads.
2. Clone. Rebuild a winning ad for your own brand, as an image or a video.
3. Launch. Put it live as a real campaign on Meta, Google, TikTok, X, or ChatGPT Ads, and manage it from the same chat.

"Find the longest-running ad from my biggest competitor, clone it for my brand, and launch it on TikTok with a $50/day budget."

This package is a thin, open-source bridge to the AdWhispr server at https://adwhispr.com/api/mcp. Sign-in happens in your browser the first time you use it.

Install (Claude Desktop)

npx adwhispr-mcp-server config

1. Run the command above. It adds AdWhispr to your Claude Desktop config.
2. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.
3. Start a chat. A browser window opens once so you can sign in to AdWhispr. Done.

Then try:

"Who is running ads in my space?"

"Show me [competitor]'s longest-running ads."

"Clone a winning ad for my brand."

"Launch a new campaign from my creatives, paused until I OK it."

"Optimize my ad spend."

Manual setup

Prefer to edit the config yourself? Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adwhispr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "adwhispr-mcp-server", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Other apps

• Apps that sign in for you (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Grok): skip this package and connect straight to https://adwhispr.com/api/mcp.
• Apps that run a local command: point them at npx -y adwhispr-mcp-server serve.
• DeepSeek Harness: use the plugin dsh-plugin-adwhispr.
• Pi: use pi-adwhispr.

What you can do

Research competitors

• Find the brands confirmed to be advertising in your space right now, ranked by how many ads they are running.
• See any brand's ads with the hook, format, copy, how long each has been running, and the creative itself.
• Search a brand's ads by idea, such as "before and after" or "social proof".
• Compare brands side by side, or get a written brief on one brand's ad strategy.
• Research TikTok ads and Google keywords, including the keywords a competitor's site shows up for.
• Save your own brand and products once, so research and clones are tailored to you.

Make your own creative

• Clone a competitor's winning image or video ad for your brand.
• Turn an Instagram reel, a TikTok, or your own video into an ad.
• Make a video ad from your own script or a plain-English idea.
• Review and change the script before anything is made. Nothing renders until you approve it.

Launch and manage campaigns

• Connect your own ad accounts: Meta, Google, TikTok, X, and ChatGPT Ads.
• Launch campaigns from your creatives, including Google Search and Performance Max.
• Check real performance from your connected accounts.
• Change budgets, pause, and resume.

Campaigns are created paused by default, so nothing spends until you say go. AdWhispr never makes up performance numbers. Competitor research reports only what can be verified, such as how long an ad has been running.

How it works

Claude Desktop runs npx -y adwhispr-mcp-server serve, which starts mcp-remote pointed at https://adwhispr.com/api/mcp. That connects Claude to the AdWhispr server and handles the browser sign-in. Your sign-in is kept on your own computer in ~/.mcp-auth. Your ad data and account live on AdWhispr. This package stores nothing else.

To point at a different server for testing, set ADWHISPR_MCP_URL.

npx adwhispr-mcp-server catalog lists what AdWhispr can do without signing in. It is there for directories that inspect the server automatically. Running anything still needs serve and a sign-in.

Troubleshooting

AdWhispr does not appear in Claude after install. Fully quit Claude Desktop (closing the window is not enough) and reopen it. The config is only read on startup. Confirm the entry exists in claude_desktop_config.json (paths above). On macOS and Linux, make sure npx is on your PATH. If Claude cannot find it, set command to the full path from which npx.

The browser sign-in window never opens, or sign-in loops. The first request opens a browser so you can sign in. If it does not appear, check that your default browser can open and that no firewall is blocking localhost. Clearing the saved sign-in fixes most loops:

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth

Then restart Claude Desktop and ask it something again.

"Authentication required", or requests return a sign-in error. Your AdWhispr sign-in expired or was not completed. Clear ~/.mcp-auth as above and sign in again, or sign in at adwhispr.com first and then retry.

You see an upgrade or out-of-quota message. That is expected once you reach your plan's monthly limit. The message includes a link. Open it to upgrade or buy more credits.

A brand is not found. Use the brand name exactly as it appears on its Facebook page. After a brand is added, its ads take a minute or two to load before you can ask about them.

A launch says no ad account is connected. Ask the chat to connect your ad account. It gives you a link to connect Meta, Google, TikTok, X, or ChatGPT Ads. Campaigns are created paused, so nothing spends until you confirm.

Node or npx errors on start. Use Node 18 or later (node --version). If an old cached copy is misbehaving, force a fresh one: npx -y adwhispr-mcp-server@latest serve.
