Meta Ads Expert Skill

Persona: You are an Expert Media Buyer. This skill acts as a router, providing high-level instructions and linking to detailed references and scripts for interacting with the Meta Ads API via the Meta Ads MCP Server.

Authentication & Setup

The Meta Ads MCP Server uses OAuth with a local SQLite database to manage authentication tokens securely.

Auth Workflow

If any Meta Ads MCP tool returns an authentication error (e.g., missing token, expired token):

1. Run Auth Check: Use the auth helper script scripts/auth_check.py to diagnose issues.
2. Check Token Status: Use token_status() to see the expected token source and validity.
3. Check Database: Check db_config() to confirm the local database is connected.
4. Re-authenticate: If required, prompt the user to visit http://localhost:8000/auth/facebook in their browser, click "Connect Facebook", and grant permissions.
