Connect Madgicx MCP servers to Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop provides native support for MCP connectors, making it easy to connect to Madgicx MCP from your desktop.
Requirements
- Claude Desktop installed
- macOS or Windows
- Anthropic account with Claude access
Setup Instructions
Repeat this flow once per MCP server you want to use (Facebook Ads, Google Ads, or both).
Open Settings
Launch Claude Desktop and click on Settings in the left sidebar, or use the keyboard shortcut:
- macOS:
Cmd + , - Windows:
Ctrl + ,
Navigate to Connectors
In the Settings menu, click on Connectors in the sidebar.
Add Custom Connector
Click the Add custom connector button.
Enter MCP Server URL
In the dialog that appears, enter the URL of the Madgicx MCP server you want to add:
Click Add to continue.
Authorize with Madgicx
A browser window will open for authorization:
- Log in to your Madgicx account (if not already logged in)
- Select team — Choose which Madgicx team to connect
- Review permissions — Review the requested permissions
- Authorize — Click the "Authorize" button
After authorization, you'll be redirected back to Claude Desktop.
Enable in Conversations
The connector is now available. To use it in a conversation:
- Open a new or existing conversation
- Click the connectors icon in the input area
- Toggle the connector(s) you want active
Tool Permissions
For a smoother experience, you can configure tool permissions so that read-only tools run automatically while write actions still require your approval:
- Go to Customize > Connectors > select the Madgicx connector
- Under Tool permissions, set Read-only tools to Always allow
- Keep Write/delete tools set to Needs approval
This way Claude can fetch campaigns, insights, and account data without prompting you each time, while actions like pausing campaigns or changing budgets still require confirmation.
Google Ads MCP is read-only
All Google Ads MCP tools are read-only, so setting Read-only tools to Always allow is safe for that connector.
Using the Connector
Once enabled, you can ask Claude to use Madgicx tools. For example:
Claude will use the whoiam tool to retrieve your user and team information.
