Documentation

One question, followed through MCP.

  1. Ask in plain language Ask your AI a research question in a normal conversation.
  2. Tools are called Over MCP, it calls Ad8’s research tools: search the records, read the details, check the coverage and read your reports.
  3. Records come back Each call returns real records with their sources, within your plan’s research allowance.
  4. An answer with sources Your AI answers from that evidence and cites it. It never reaches a competitor’s private ad account, or yours.

What MCP does here

Model Context Protocol is a standard for connecting AI applications to external tools and data. Ad8’s proposed MCP service exposes research functions to an authorized, compatible client. It is an Ad8 connection—not an official Meta connection.

Find static ads in my tracked set that use a comparison-based hook.

Searched Ad8 records · Read 3 ad details

Three static ads in your tracked set use a comparison-based hook:

  • Northpine Outdoor “Not your average rain shell.” NP-0902
  • Lumen Skin “Two steps, not twelve.” LS-0426
  • Mira Atelier “Better than the department-store original.” MA-0344

“Comparison-based hook” is an AI-inferred label, not a statement from the advertiser.

Summarize newly observed bundle offers, cite the records, and disclose incomplete checks.

Searched Ad8 records · Checked coverage for 3 Pages

Two followed Pages have newly observed bundle offers since 12 Oct:

  • Lumen Skin “The two-step set. Save 20%.” · First seen 14 Oct LS-0412
  • Lumen Skin “Three serums. One routine.” · First seen 22 Oct LS-0433
  • Mira Atelier “The weekend set, 15% off.” · First seen 20 Oct MA-0351

Coverage: the Northpine Outdoor UK check is partial (6 Oct–8 Oct), so I cannot say whether it added bundles.

Read my latest report and suggest three original tests for a premium skincare brand. Do not infer ROAS.

Retrieved an existing report

Based on your report “Offer review: skincare bundles”, I would test three original ideas, one variable each: Report · 25 Oct

  • A routine-led headline against a set-price headline.
  • Your own bottles in order of use against a single hero bottle.
  • A gift framing against a savings framing.

I have not estimated ROAS or performance. The records do not include them.

Client compatibility is specific

A client must support the transport and authorization method implemented by Ad8. Client plan requirements, administrator settings, and regional availability can differ. Named client integrations should be marked supported only after end-to-end testing.

Your AI provider remains separate

Your AI application may charge for its own subscription or usage. Connecting Ad8 can send retrieved content and your questions to that provider. Review its data controls before sharing confidential brand information.

Frequently asked questions

What does MCP do in Ad8?

Model Context Protocol is a standard for connecting AI applications to external tools and data. Ad8’s proposed MCP service exposes research functions to an authorized, compatible client, and it is an Ad8 connection, not an official Meta connection.

What can I ask my AI through MCP?

You can ask research questions such as finding static ads in your tracked set that use a comparison-based hook, or summarizing newly observed bundle offers with cited records. The toolset can search records, read ad details, inspect followed Pages and coverage, and retrieve changes and existing reports.

Is MCP a way to export all the data?

No. Permissions and plan limits still apply, and pagination, result size, and monthly research-call allowances protect the service from bulk extraction.
