Meta Ad Library & Video Ad Analyzer

What Meta Ad Library & Video Ad Analyzer does

Meta Ad Library & Video Ad Analyzer provides two focused tools for advertising research. The meta-ad-library-videos Actor retrieves Facebook and Instagram video ads from Meta Ad Library. The video-ad-analyzer Actor produces AI-based teardowns of video ads from Meta and YouTube.

This setup fits workflows that need to find public ad creatives and then examine their messaging or structure. For example, an agent can retrieve a brand’s active video ads and identify the angles being tested, or analyze a supplied Meta or YouTube video ad. The README’s example asks for Nike’s active video ads and a comparison of their angles.

How it works

The MCP endpoint is hosted by Apify at mcp.apify.com. It exposes the selected TubeText Actors as remote tools rather than running the scrapers inside your application. The server URL for this listing includes fetch-actor-details, tubetext/meta-ad-library-videos, and tubetext/video-ad-analyzer in its tools query parameter.

Clients can authenticate through Apify OAuth where supported, or send an Apify API token using an Authorization: Bearer header. The tools read public pages and do not use login credentials or cookies. Each tool call runs an Apify Actor and is billed per event according to that Actor’s Store price. Failed or empty results are not billed.

Setup and configuration

There is no local installation or hosting step. Add the supplied HTTPS URL as a remote MCP server in a compatible client. Claude Desktop and claude.ai use the custom connector settings; Cursor and VS Code can add the URL in their MCP configuration; Claude Code can register it with the HTTP transport.

Clients without OAuth support need an Apify API token. Apify accounts include a free monthly credit, but usage beyond available credit can incur Actor charges. For larger jobs, ask the agent to pass maxTotalChargeUsd; the MCP server itself does not impose a spending cap, while the Actors stop when their configured maximum run cost is reached.

Tools and capabilities

• Retrieve Facebook and Instagram video ads from Meta Ad Library.
• Analyze Meta video ads with the AI video ad analyzer.
• Analyze YouTube video ads with the same analyzer.
• Expose the tools through a remote MCP HTTP endpoint.
• Use Apify OAuth or an API token for authentication.

The Meta Ad Library & Video Ad Analyzer MCP server is therefore suited to ad discovery and creative analysis, not to managing campaigns or accessing private account data. The provided material does not describe ad publishing, performance reporting, audience targeting, or campaign mutations.

Limitations and notes

Results depend on the public pages available to the underlying Actors. No login or cookies are used. Every Actor has its own Store price, and the server does not set a global cost limit. Review the relevant Actor’s pricing and pass a maximum charge for expensive or broad requests. The README does not specify a separate software license for this server or repository.
