About LinkedIn Ads MCP Server
Connect your LinkedIn Ads account to any AI agent to automate your professional marketing analytics and reporting. This MCP server enables your agent to list ad accounts, monitor campaign performance (impressions, clicks, spend), and retrieve conversion data directly from natural language interfaces using the latest LinkedIn REST API version.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple LinkedIn Ads tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
