Connect Claude Desktop to MCP360

Step-by-step guide to connecting Claude Desktop to your ad accounts via MCP360.

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop installed (download at [claude.ai/desktop](https://claude.ai/desktop))

MCP360 account with at least one ad platform connected

Your MCP360 API key (get one at [dashboard/api-keys](/dashboard/api-keys))

Step 1: Get Your MCP URL and API Key

Go to [MCP360 Dashboard → API Keys](/dashboard/api-keys)

Click **New API Key** and name it "Claude Desktop"

Copy your API key (starts with `mcp_live_`)

Note your MCP endpoint URL from the Accounts page (e.g., `https://meta-ads.mcp.mcp360.net/`)

Step 2: Edit claude_desktop_config.json

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

**macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

**Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

Add the MCP360 server configuration:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp360-meta-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://meta-ads.mcp.mcp360.net/"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_API_KEY": "mcp_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    },
    "mcp360-google-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://google-ads.mcp.mcp360.net/"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_API_KEY": "mcp_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. You should see the MCP360 servers listed under "Available Tools."

Step 4: Test Your Connection

Type this message to Claude:

"Show me my top 5 Meta campaigns by ROAS this week"

Claude will use the meta_list_campaigns MCP tool to fetch your real data.

Troubleshooting

"Tool not found" error: Make sure Claude Desktop restarted after editing the config file.

"Unauthorized" error: Double-check your API key is correct and not revoked in the MCP360 dashboard.

"Connection refused": Verify your internet connection and that mcp360.net is accessible.
