【MCP Server】Facebook Ads × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.

In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for Facebook Ads, configuring the connection to Facebook Ads, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.

Overview

Here's a quick overview of the steps:

1. Download and install the CData MCP Server for Facebook Ads
2. Configure the connection to Facebook Ads
3. Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop

Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server

1. To begin, navigate to https://www.cdata.com/solutions/mcp/connectors and download the CData MCP Server for Facebook Ads.
2. Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to Facebook Ads.

Step 2: Configure the connection to Facebook Ads

1. After installation, the CData MCP Server configuration wizard should open automatically.

   NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData MCP Server" in the Windows search bar and double-click the application.

2. Click the dropdown menu in MCP Configuration > Configuration Name and select ""
3. Name the configuration (e.g. "cdatafacebookads") and click "OK."

   NOTE: This name is used as the name for the MCP server and as the prefix for all of the MCP Server's tools.

   

4. Connecting to Facebook Ads

   Facebook Ads 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

   ほとんどのテーブルで、アプリケーション認証と同様にユーザー認証を必要とします。Facebook Ads はユーザー認証にOAuth 標準を使用しています。Facebook への認証には、組み込み認証を使用してブラウザ経由で完結することもできますし、Facebook にアプリを登録することで独自のOAuthClientId、OAuthClientSecret、CallbackURL を取得することもできます。

   の設定方法については、ヘルプドキュメントの「OAuth」セクションを参照してください。

   任意で以下の項目を設定して、フィルタリングや集計を行うもできます。必要に応じてご利用ください。

   • Target：Facebook データのテーブルのいくつかはターゲットでフィルタリングできます。例えば、動画のコメントを取得するにはターゲットに動画のID を指定します。このプロパティは、クエリ結果を指定されたターゲットに合致するレコードにフィルタリングします。Target カラムを使ってクエリ毎にこの制限をかけることができます。
   • AggregateFormat：CData 製品は、いくつかのカラムを文字列集合として返します。例えば、エンティティのいいねデータは集計されて返されます。デフォルトでは、CData 製品はJSON で集計カラムを返します。集計をXML で返すことも可能です。
   • RetryLevel：このプロパティを使用して、特定の広告インサイトのクエリとエラーに対するクエリの自動再試行を制御します。

   Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.

   
5. Click "Connect" to authenticate with Facebook Ads through OAuth.

   NOTE: The configuration wizard should open your browser and ask you to sign into Facebook Ads. If your browser does not open, close the configuration wizard and re-open the application using "Run as Administrator" (see below).

   
6. Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.

   NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.

With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.

Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live Facebook Ads のデータ

Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with Facebook Ads のデータ in Claude Desktop.

1. Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).

   You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.

2. Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the Facebook Ads のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"

   NOTE: Claude may need to explore the Facebook Ads のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
