Build live performance dashboards inside VS Code

`get_account_insights` is the tool Cline calls to pull raw Meta Ads performance data straight into your local VS Code workspace. The Cline agent takes this JSON payload, designs a custom React component for your Facebook dashboard, and writes the code to display your live ROAS. You don't have to copy-paste data from Meta's clunky UI anymore when Cline is managing the codebase. Cline reads the Meta Ads schema, writes the integration tests, and verifies the metrics match your targets before staging the files in VS Code.

Programmatic campaign control via Cline

`pause_campaign` allows Cline to shut down underperforming Meta Ads assets when your integration tests or monitoring scripts detect a drop in conversion rates. The Cline agent writes the trigger logic and hooks it directly into this Meta Ads MCP Server. If a Facebook campaign's cost-per-click goes too high, Cline executes the pause and writes a log file explaining the decision. You get full control over the Meta Ads automation rules without leaving your Cline sidebar.

Audit your Facebook ad sets inside VS Code

`list_ad_sets` gives Cline complete visibility into how your Facebook campaigns are structured inside VS Code. The agent compares your active Cline-managed ad sets against your target audience lists retrieved via `list_audiences` using this Meta Ads MCP Server. This deep inspection helps Cline clean up bloated Facebook targeting setups. Cline identifies redundant Meta ad sets, writes a refactoring plan for your marketing structure, and executes the cleanup in your workspace.
