Installs and configures the MCP server locally
Automatically handles environment setup
Prompts for Meta token authentication during the process which is optional
If Meta access token is not provided then connect to AdsInsight's server to create the token on your behalf
Important Disclaimer
This setup does not require you to manually obtain a Meta Developer Access Token.
Instead, it connects securely to AdsInsight's server to create the token on your behalf. AdsInsight does not store your token β it is saved locally on your machine for use with the MCP server.
Setup
Prerequisites
Python 3.10+
Dependencies listed in
requirements.txt
(Optional but Recommended) Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:
