Connect LinkedIn Ads MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect LinkedIn Ads to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Full campaign and account discovery
Windsurf can pull your entire account architecture into context. It uses `list_ad_accounts` and `list_campaign_groups` to map out your structure before you start digging into the numbers. Once it finds the right IDs, the agent switches to `list_ad_campaigns` to isolate specific experiments. This gives your agent the exact foundation it needs to build reports.
Automated analytics and reporting
Stop jumping between tabs to check your spend. Your agent triggers `get_ad_analytics` with your specified date ranges to pull raw impressions, clicks, and costs directly into your workspace. This MCP Server feeds the data straight into your agent's reasoning process. You get immediate answers about which campaigns are actually driving ROI.
Creative and conversion tracking
You need to know if your assets are working. The server runs `list_ad_creatives` to audit your active ads while checking `list_conversion_rules` to confirm your tracking is firing correctly. Your agent cross-references these lists to verify that your conversion events match your current creative rotation. It's the fastest way to spot a broken funnel.
