# MCP for ad agencies, ticked accounts

> MCP for ad agencies: one hosted URL, ticked accounts, and seats from the live Agency card. No X Ads included.

[Articles](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles)

How-to. Published 30 Aug 2026. Updated 30 Aug 2026. By The Get MCP Ads team, published by BENLY HLG.

## In short

An agency connects platforms once, ticks which client accounts the assistant may reach, and pastes one MCP URL into the assistant. Connecting an MCC is not access. The allowlist is checked server-side, including run_tool. Live sources are 6. There is no X Ads. Microsoft Advertising is soon, with no tools. Agency seats come from the plan cards, not from a made-up number.

## Key takeaways

- One URL: `https://mcp-review.getmcpads.com/mcp`. Live sources: Meta Ads, Pinterest Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Search Console, Google Analytics 4.
- Ticked-account allowlist is the agency control. MCC or Business Manager OAuth is not enough.
- Free is 1 ad account, 1 seat, read only. Writes need a paid plan and confirm.
- Team is Team at 99 per month. Agency is Agency at 199 per month.
- An agent cannot complete OAuth or tick accounts. Those two steps stay human.
- There is no X Ads. Microsoft Advertising has no tools. Do not sell either as included.

## What does an agency actually connect?

One organisation on Get MCP Ads, one hosted URL, many ticked client accounts. Seats are people in that organisation. Accounts are ad accounts, Search Console properties and GA4 properties you tick. Connecting a Google MCC or a Meta Business Manager lists what the token can reach and leaves every account unticked. The assistant never sees a client you did not tick.

1. Open your MCP client and add a remote MCP server.
2. Paste `https://mcp-review.getmcpads.com/mcp` as the server URL and confirm.
3. Approve the sign-in page. Connecting platforms and ticking accounts still happens on Get MCP Ads, not inside the client.

Live sources: Meta Ads, Pinterest Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, Search Console, Google Analytics 4. You do not have to connect all six. A desk that only runs Google and Meta ticks those two. See [One MCP URL for six live sources](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/one-mcp-url-six-sources). There is no X Ads. Microsoft Advertising is soon: OAuth exists, tools do not. Do not sell either as included on this URL.

A worked onboarding: connect Google Ads and Meta, tick two clients on this week's brief, paste the URL, ask Monday numbers on those two IDs only. `list_accounts` should return the ticked set. A prompt that names a third client should be refused. That refusal is what you bought. See [What a ticked-account allowlist is](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/ticked-account-allowlist).

## How should seats and confirms work on a desk?

A media buyer can hold a paid seat that can confirm writes. A strategist can stay on a seat that only needs reads. Free is the wrong plan for a desk that pauses campaigns: write tools are absent. Preview then confirm is the write path on paid plans. Campaigns are created paused. Untick a client when the retainer ends; the next call is refused.

Give confirm to the people who already have Ads Manager access, not to a shared seat that reads Monday numbers. Claude may also ask its own approval; that prompt is Claude's, on top of this preview. See [Pause a campaign from an assistant](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/mcp-ads-writes). An agent cannot tick accounts and cannot complete platform OAuth. Those two steps stay human.

Do not put two competing clients on one organisation with both ticked and then hope the assistant keeps them straight. Untick is cheaper than a prompt. Split organisations when the books should never share a tool list. Seats share the ticked set inside one organisation.

## How does the ticked-account allowlist protect clients?

OAuth on an MCC or Business Manager proves who you are, not which client the assistant may see. After connect, every account starts unticked. The check runs server-side on every call, including run_tool. Un-ticking removes access on the next call rather than hiding a row. That is the ownable control for an agency desk.

Search Console properties and GA4 properties are accounts in the same picker. Ticking a Google Ads customer does not tick a GA4 property. Each source has its own allowlist. Official Google Ads MCP's `list_accessible_customers` returns whatever that auth can see; it is a different server. Official Meta MCP reaches whatever that Meta grant reaches. This gateway's contract is the tick.

If a pitch deck claims an agent can grant account access, that is not this product. Dashboard WebMCP tools, when they appear, are read only and will not grow a tick action. Hand the human the dashboard link and the list of IDs. See [account scoping](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/concepts/accounts).

## What does Agency include on the live cards?

Agency plan, from the live cards, not invented: Agency at 199 per month. Extra account and seat prices are on the pricing page when the card lists them. Do not paste a number that is not on that page. Free is read only. Writes need a paid plan and confirm.

30 ad accounts. 15 seats. Unlimited tool calls. Writes, with a preview before every change. Priority support and tool requests. Team is Team at 99 per month: 12 ad accounts, 5 seats. Pro is Pro 39 per month. Free is 1 ad account, 1 seat, 200 tool calls per period, read only. Those strings are generated from the same plan table as [pricing](https://www.getmcpads.com/pricing), so this paragraph cannot invent a seat count.

Pipeboard's site mentioned 25 ad account slots on its Agency plan when we fetched it on 30 Aug 2026. That is their card, not ours. Compare those pages, not a screenshot of this paragraph. See [Pipeboard vs Get MCP Ads](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/getmcpads-vs-pipeboard). Snap, Reddit and LinkedIn are sources they name and we do not ship. Pinterest and Search Console are live here.

## When should you not use this as an agency tool?

This is the wrong agency tool when the book is X Ads, when the book is Microsoft Advertising tools today, when every client is Meta-only and you want Meta in the token path, when you need Snap, Reddit or LinkedIn, or when you wanted an agent to tick accounts. That step is human-only. There is no X Ads.

- The book is X Ads. We do not ship it. Use X's Ads MCP.
- The book is Microsoft Advertising tools today. Use Microsoft's open-pilot MCP. Our OAuth exists; our tools do not.
- Every client is Meta-only and you want Meta in the token path. Use mcp.facebook.com/ads.
- You need Snap, Reddit or LinkedIn. This gateway does not ship them.
- You wanted an agent to tick accounts. That step is human-only.

If the book is Google plus Meta plus TikTok plus Search Console, one hosted URL with a ticked-account allowlist is the shape this page sells. Official first-party servers stay first-party; see [Official ads MCPs compared](https://www.getmcpads.com/articles/official-ads-mcp-landscape). Do not mix getmcpads.com with mcp-ads.com in a connector list. They are different products.

## Questions

### How many seats does Agency include?

Whatever the Agency card says: 15 seats. Team is 5 seats. Free is 1 seat. Those strings are generated from the same plan table as /pricing, so this paragraph cannot invent a seat count. If a page elsewhere cites a different Agency seat number, the pricing page wins.

### Does one MCC connection expose every client to the assistant?

No. Connecting an MCC or a Business Manager does not expose the accounts under it. After OAuth, every account starts unticked. The gateway answers only for ticked IDs. The check runs server-side, including through run_tool. Untick when the client leaves. That is the ownable control for an agency desk.

### Can juniors write?

Only on a paid plan, and only after a preview. Write tools are absent on Free. On paid plans, confirm set to true is required to apply a pause or a budget change. Claude may also ask its own approval. Give confirm to the people who already have Ads Manager access, not to a shared seat that reads Monday numbers.

### Do you include X Ads for clients who buy it?

No. There is no X Ads source. Tell the client to use X's own Ads MCP if that is the job. Microsoft Advertising is soon here, with no tools; Microsoft's official MCP is a separate open pilot. Selling either as included on this URL would be a lie.

### Is Pipeboard better for agencies?

Pipeboard's site names Snap, Reddit, per-platform URLs and 25 Agency slots when we fetched it. This gateway names one URL, Pinterest live, Search Console live, and a ticked-account allowlist. Execution-heavy duplication is not a row we invent for ourselves. Read the sourced comparison. Pick the shape that matches the book, not a generic agency winner.

### What does a client see of other clients?

Nothing, if you did not tick them. The allowlist is account IDs, not a courtesy filter. Seats in your organisation share the ticked set unless you split organisations. Do not put two competing clients on one organisation with both ticked and then hope the assistant keeps them straight. Untick is cheaper than a prompt.
