Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads) MCP server: read reports and draft campaign changes from AI.

Documentation

Microsoft Ads MCP Server

MCP Registry Setup guide License: MIT

Connect Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or any AI app that supports MCP. AdKit hosts the server, so you only add an address to your AI app.

Beta: Your AI writes Microsoft Advertising API requests and AdKit sends them. It can do what the API allows, with more steps than on Meta or Google. Turn on Advanced Platform Access in your AdKit project (Agent Permissions) first.

Every change is saved as a draft first, so your AI can't spend money on its own. Nothing goes live on Microsoft Ads until you approve it.

What you can do

  • Connect your Microsoft Advertising accounts
  • Read campaigns and reports through the Microsoft Advertising API
  • Save campaign changes as drafts, then publish them after you approve

Example prompts

  • "How did my Bing campaigns perform last week?"
  • "Lower the budget of the ‘Brand’ campaign to $20 a day. Save it as a draft."

Set up

You need an AdKit account. On first use, you sign in to AdKit and connect your Microsoft Ads account.

There are two ways to connect:

  • All platforms: the main AdKit connector. One connection for Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit, X and Pinterest. Pick this if you run ads on more than Microsoft Ads.
  • Microsoft Ads only: the address above. Your AI only sees the Microsoft Ads tools.

  • All platforms: add the AdKit app, in one click.
  • Microsoft Ads only: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://mcp.adkit.so/microsoft-ads.

/plugin marketplace add adkit/microsoft-ads-mcp
/plugin install microsoft-ads@adkit-microsoft-ads

claude mcp add --transport http adkit-microsoft-ads https://mcp.adkit.so/microsoft-ads

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/adkit/microsoft-ads-mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adkit-microsoft-ads": {
      "url": "https://mcp.adkit.so/microsoft-ads"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.adkit-microsoft-ads]

FAQ

What is the Microsoft Ads MCP server?

A hosted MCP server from AdKit. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and other AI apps work on your Microsoft Ads account: Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) reports and campaign changes through its API, in beta.

Is the Microsoft Ads MCP server free?

It is included in every AdKit plan. Plans start at $29 a month, with a 7-day free trial. See pricing.

Can my AI change my Microsoft Ads without asking me?

No. Every create, edit or pause is saved as a draft. It goes live only after you approve it, on AdKit's Draft Approval page or by telling your AI to publish it.

Do I need an API key or a developer token?

No. You sign in to AdKit in your browser and connect your Microsoft Ads account there. You also need to turn on Advanced Platform Access in your AdKit project (Agent Permissions), because this beta sends requests through the platform API.

Can I manage several Microsoft Ads accounts?

Yes. Connect several accounts and keep each client in its own AdKit project. How many projects you get depends on your plan.

Which AI apps does it work with?

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Codex and any app that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.
