      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you run paid social for several clients, most of your week goes into the same clicks: upload creatives, build campaigns, ad sets and ads, copy them to another ad account, pause the losers, pull a report. &lt;a href="https://www.apogee.ad" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Apogee&lt;/a&gt; is a bulk ad launcher for agencies and performance teams, and its &lt;strong&gt;remote MCP server&lt;/strong&gt; lets an AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Grok, Cline…) do that work across many &lt;strong&gt;Meta (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok and Snapchat&lt;/strong&gt; ad accounts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post shows how to connect it and what to ask it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What the server does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;80 tools, grouped in four jobs:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Bulk launch:&lt;/strong&gt; turn a folder of creatives (Google Drive or uploads) into campaigns, ad sets and ads in one plan. The agent prepares the launch, asks only the missing questions, then executes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Multi-account, multi-platform:&lt;/strong&gt; list every connected ad account across Meta, TikTok and Snapchat; copy ads from one Meta ad account to another, or relaunch Meta winners on TikTok and Snapchat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Manage:&lt;/strong&gt; duplicate, pause or resume, change daily budgets, launch from existing posts (including TikTok Spark Ads), search targeting and custom audiences.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Analyze:&lt;/strong&gt; insights by date range, rankings by metric, creative fatigue.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And it is built to be safe to hand to an agent:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;OAuth scopes &lt;code&gt;read&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;launch&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;actions&lt;/code&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;every launch or change is prepared first and runs only after your explicit yes (each plan runs once);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ads are created paused by default, with budget caps and idempotency keys on writes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Setup
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Remote server, nothing to install. Endpoint &lt;code&gt;https://app.apogee.ad/mcp&lt;/code&gt;, Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 (PKCE) or API key.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claude (claude.ai / Desktop):&lt;/strong&gt; Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector → &lt;code&gt;https://app.apogee.ad/mcp&lt;/code&gt; → sign in with Apogee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claude Code&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;claude mcp add &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--transport&lt;/span&gt; http apogee https://app.apogee.ad/mcp
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cursor / VS Code / Cline&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;code&gt;mcp.json&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight json"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"mcpServers"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"apogee"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nl"&gt;"url"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://app.apogee.ad/mcp"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="w"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;API key&lt;/strong&gt; (clients without OAuth): create a key in Apogee, Settings → API, and send it as &lt;code&gt;Authorization: Bearer apk_…&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You need an Apogee account on the Pro plan or above, with at least one Meta, TikTok or Snapchat ad account connected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Prompts to try
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Launch these 12 UGC videos from my Google Drive folder as a new Meta campaign on the Acme ad account, one ad per video, €50/day."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"List all my ad accounts on Meta, TikTok and Snapchat and show yesterday's spend and ROAS for each."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Duplicate my best-performing TikTok campaign from last week to the Client B ad account."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Pause every Meta ad set with ROAS under 1.5 over the last 7 days across all my clients."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Which of my creatives are showing fatigue this month? Suggest which to replace."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Create TikTok Spark Ads from our three latest organic TikTok posts."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Give me a weekly report comparing Meta vs TikTok vs Snapchat performance for each client account."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a launch, the agent first shows you the plan (accounts, campaigns, ad sets, ads, budgets). Nothing goes live until you say yes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Apogee vs a single-platform MCP
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each ad platform's own MCP (or a one-network connector) is a good fit if you manage one platform for one business. Apogee is aimed at a different job:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Single-platform MCP&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Apogee MCP&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Networks&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;one&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Meta, TikTok and Snapchat in one server&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ad accounts&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;usually one at a time&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;every connected account, across clients&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bulk launch from a creative folder&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;no&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;yes, Google Drive or uploads → full structure in one plan&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cross-account / cross-network copy&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;no&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;copy Meta ads between accounts, relaunch Meta winners on TikTok and Snapchat&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Write safety&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;varies&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;prepare → explicit yes → run once; ads paused by default; budget caps&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
