The Problem
Most Meta Ads MCP tutorials assume the claude.ai connector UI. CLI users (Claude Code in terminal) are stuck. Even after install, the agent lacks competitor SERP context to suggest creative variations.
The Scavio Solution
Meta Ads MCP (community, terminal-installed via claude mcp add) + Google Ads MCP if multi-channel + Scavio MCP for competitor SERP and Reddit signal. Three named MCPs, clear roles.
Before
An r/ClaudeCode post asked specifically how to wire Meta Ads MCP into terminal Claude Code; tutorials only covered the connector UI.
After
Daily ad-account audits + competitor creative discovery in one Claude Code session. Per-account-month Scavio cost ~$0.34 (negligible vs ad spend).
Who It Is For
In-house growth teams, boutique paid agencies, indie operators managing multi-account Meta + Google Ads from CLI.
Key Benefits
- Terminal-native Meta Ads MCP setup
- Scavio adds live competitor SERP + Reddit signal
- Three clearly-named MCPs, clean routing
- Per-account-month Scavio cost <$0.50
- OAuth scope reviewable in CLI flow
