The OpenAI Ads MCP server for the newest ad channel

OpenAI Ads MCP connects ChatGPT advertising to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol. You report on campaigns, launch new ones, tune context hints, and manage bids and budgets by asking in plain English, with every change held for your approval.

OpenAI began showing ads in ChatGPT in February 2026 for US users on the Free and Go tiers: clearly labeled sponsored results that appear under responses. Advertisers buy them with CPC or CPM bidding through OpenAI's Ads Manager, which opened to self-serve without a minimum budget in May 2026.

No. OpenAI's official surfaces are its Ads Manager and the Advertiser API, plus agency and ad tech partners. Markifact is a third-party marketing platform that connects to the Advertiser API and exposes OpenAI Ads as MCP operations alongside the rest of your marketing stack.

ChatGPT ads are matched to conversations rather than keywords, and context hints are how you describe the conversational moments your ad belongs in. Markifact exposes openai_ads_update_ad_group_context_hints as a first-class operation, so refining your targeting is a sentence in chat followed by your approval.

Yes. The openai_ads_create_campaign, openai_ads_create_ad_group, and openai_ads_create_ad operations cover the full launch path, including budgets, CPC or CPM bidding, and geo targeting through openai_ads_search_geo. Every creation waits for your approval before it goes live.

Yes. Update ad group bids, shift campaign budgets, and change statuses through approval-gated operations like openai_ads_update_campaign_budget and openai_ads_update_ad_group_bid.

The openai_ads_get_report operation covers campaign, ad group, and ad level performance with custom metrics, dimensions, filters, and date ranges, and openai_ads_list_conversion_events shows what your account measures.

Yes, and from ChatGPT too. Markifact works in any MCP-compatible client, so you can manage the ads that run inside ChatGPT from Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT itself. The MCP standard makes the combination unremarkable in practice, even if it sounds funny.

That is exactly the question a multi-platform MCP answers. OpenAI Ads sits in the same connection as Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and GA4, so comparing CPC, conversion rates, and downstream revenue across channels happens in one conversation.

No. Markifact provides the managed layer over the Advertiser API. You connect your OpenAI Ads account with OAuth and the hosted MCP server handles the rest.

Markifact uses a secure OAuth-based connection for OpenAI Ads access. Your tokens are never exposed to the AI client, and data is processed in real time without retention.

Markifact separates reads from writes. Reports and listings run instantly; anything that changes your account, like a new campaign, a bid change, or edited context hints, stops and waits for your explicit approval in Markifact.

Yes. Connect several accounts and switch between them inside one conversation, which matters for agencies onboarding clients to the newest channel.
