What It Does

  • Installs and configures the MCP server locally
  • Automatically handles environment setup
  • Prompts for Facebook token authentication during the process which is optional
  • If facebook access token is not provided then connect to GoMarble's server to create the token on your behalf

Important Disclaimer

This setup does not require you to manually obtain a Facebook Developer Access Token.

Instead, it connects securely to GoMarble's server to create the token on your behalf. GoMarble does not store your token — it is saved locally on your machine for use with the MCP server.

Setup

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • Dependencies listed in requirements.txt
  1. (Optional but Recommended) Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
    

    Using a virtual environment helps manage project dependencies cleanly[Source].

  2. Install Dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Obtain Facebook Access Token: Secure a Facebook User Access Token with the necessary permissions (e.g., ads_read). You can generate this through the Facebook Developer portal. Follow this link.

Usage with MCP Clients (e.g., Cursor, Claude Desktop)

To integrate this server with an MCP-compatible client, add a configuration(Claude) similar to the following. Replace YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual token and adjust the path to server.py if necessary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fb-ads-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
        "--fb-token",
        "YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      ]
      // If using a virtual environment, you might need to specify the python executable within the venv:
      // "command": "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
      // "args": [
      //   "/path/to/your/fb-ads-mcp-server/server.py",
      //   "--fb-token",
      //   "YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      // ]
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP Client app after making the update in the configuration.

(Note: On Windows, you might need to adjust the command structure or use cmd /k depending on your setup.)

Debugging the Server

Execute server.py, providing the access token via the --fb-token argument.

python server.py --fb-token YOUR_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN
