Pull Liftoff campaign metadata directly into Claude Desktop

Stop copying and pasting app IDs or campaign structures into your chat window. This Liftoff MCP Server lets Claude Desktop query your active advertising setup directly. Your agent can run `list_liftoff_apps` and `list_liftoff_campaigns` to instantly see which mobile campaigns are running and what apps they target. It doesn't stop at top-level campaigns. The agent can also use `list_liftoff_creatives` to grab the exact assets tied to your accounts, giving you a clear picture of your active creative inventory without leaving the chat.

Automate raw performance report generation

Getting deep performance reports usually means clicking through a web dashboard and waiting for an email. With this integration, Claude Desktop triggers the process directly from your prompt. The agent uses `request_performance_report` to kick off a report for specific dates, then polls `get_report_status` to watch for completion. Once the report is ready, your agent calls `download_report_results` to bring the raw data straight into your workspace. You can then ask the desktop client to analyze the file, find trends, or format the output for your next team update.

Check live spend and performance metrics

When you need quick answers on budget pacing, you cannot wait for an asynchronous report to compile. This tool lets your desktop client call `get_spend_metrics` to grab immediate spend and performance data. You get direct access to real-time budget depletion and campaign performance. Claude Desktop parses this raw data on the fly, allowing you to ask questions about your daily run-rates and get answers back in seconds.
