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 venv\Scripts\activate
   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
