Visit get-ryze.ai/mcp and sign up for a free trial. No credit card required for the initial 14-day period. The signup process takes 60 seconds and immediately provides access to MCP connector configuration settings. You will receive an API key and connector endpoint that Claude uses to access your advertising data.

In the Ryze dashboard, connect your advertising accounts through OAuth. Click "Connect Google Ads" → authenticate with your Google account → grant read access to campaigns and performance data. Repeat for Meta Business Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and any analytics platforms. Each OAuth flow takes 30-45 seconds and establishes permanent API access with automatic token refresh.

Security note: All connections use OAuth 2.0 with read-only permissions by default. You control which accounts Claude can access and can revoke access anytime through the dashboard.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol. Click "Add Server" and paste the configuration JSON from your Ryze dashboard. The configuration includes your unique API key and tells Claude how to connect to your advertising data through the MCP endpoint.

Restart Claude Desktop after adding the configuration. You should see a green "Connected" indicator next to the Ryze MCP server in the settings panel.

Ask Claude a simple question to verify MCP connectivity: "Show me my advertising performance across all platforms for the last 7 days." If the setup worked correctly, Claude will pull live data from your connected accounts and present a summary table with metrics like spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, CPA, and ROAS by platform.

Test advanced MCP capabilities with a complex analysis request: "Which campaigns have the best ROAS by platform, and what audience targeting strategies are driving the highest performance?" This query requires Claude to analyze multiple data dimensions, identify patterns, and provide strategic insights — demonstrating the full power of MCP tools for ad campaign reporting with Claude.

Troubleshooting: If Claude asks you to upload a file instead of pulling live data, the MCP connection failed. Check your API key, restart Claude Desktop, and verify platform connections in your Ryze dashboard.

Generate a complete C-suite ready report in 60 seconds. Claude analyzes performance across all platforms, identifies key trends, calculates efficiency metrics, and presents findings in executive language. The output includes spend summary, conversion trends, ROAS analysis, top-performing campaigns, underperformers requiring attention, and 3-5 specific recommendations for the following week. Perfect for Monday morning leadership meetings.

Understand how different platforms contribute to your overall customer acquisition. Claude examines first-click, last-click, and assisted conversions across Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn to reveal the true customer journey. This analysis often shows that platforms with "poor ROAS" actually drive valuable assisted conversions that traditional attribution misses. Essential for budget allocation decisions.

Identify which ad creatives drive the highest engagement and conversion rates across all platforms. Claude analyzes CTR trends, conversion rates by creative type, frequency data, and creative fatigue indicators. The analysis reveals winning creative patterns — specific hooks, formats, copy lengths, and visual elements that consistently outperform. Use insights to brief designers and copywriters for next-generation assets.

Find campaigns competing against each other in ad auctions. Claude examines targeting parameters across all ad sets to estimate overlap percentages and identify auction cannibalization. When multiple campaigns target similar demographics, interests, or behaviors, they drive up CPMs by 15-30%. This workflow calculates potential savings from consolidating or excluding overlapping audiences.

Calculate optimal budget distribution based on marginal ROAS rather than average performance. Claude analyzes which campaigns can scale profitably with additional budget and which have reached efficiency limits. The analysis considers factors like audience size, competition levels, creative fatigue, and seasonality to recommend specific dollar amounts to shift between campaigns for maximum overall ROAS improvement.

Monitor changes in auction dynamics and competitor activity through CPM fluctuations and impression share data. Claude identifies unusual spikes in competition, correlates them with known events (Black Friday, product launches, new competitor entry), and recommends strategic responses. This analysis helps you anticipate market changes and adjust bidding strategies proactively.

Predict campaign performance for upcoming seasonal periods by analyzing historical data patterns. Claude examines year-over-year trends, identifies seasonal multipliers for different product categories and audiences, and projects expected performance for Black Friday, holiday seasons, back-to-school, or industry-specific peak periods. Use forecasts for budget planning and inventory preparation.

Identify which landing pages convert traffic most effectively across different traffic sources and audience segments. Claude correlates ad performance with post-click behavior, revealing cases where high CTR ads send traffic to low-converting pages or where great landing pages receive poor-quality traffic. This analysis optimizes the entire funnel, not just ad performance.

Determine statistical significance for all running A/B tests and recommend when to declare winners or continue testing. Claude calculates confidence intervals, required sample sizes, and estimated time to significance based on current conversion volumes. No more guessing when tests have enough data or accidentally stopping winners too early due to random fluctuations.

Calculate true ROAS by incorporating customer lifetime value rather than first-purchase value only. Claude segments customers acquired through different campaigns and analyzes their 30, 60, and 90-day purchasing behavior to reveal which campaigns attract the most valuable long-term customers. This analysis often shows that some "low ROAS" campaigns actually generate the highest lifetime value customers.
