Claude Desktop

Install the AdCrunch MCP server in Claude Desktop and authorize your organization.

Tip

AdCrunch is a remote MCP server — there’s nothing to install locally. You just point Claude Desktop at the AdCrunch URL and complete an OAuth flow.

Install

  1. Open Claude Desktop settings

    From the Claude Desktop menu, choose Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Claude opens claude_desktop_config.json in your editor.

  2. Add the AdCrunch server entry

    Add the following under mcpServers. If the key doesn’t exist, create it.

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "adcrunch": {
          "url": "https://mcp.adcrunch.dev"
        }
      }
    }
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "adcrunch": {
          "url": "https://mcp.adcrunch.dev"
        }
      }
    }
  3. Restart Claude Desktop

    Quit completely (not just close the window) and reopen.

  4. Authorize

    On first use, Claude opens a browser tab to AdCrunch’s OAuth consent. Sign in and pick the organization you want to expose to this client.

Try it

Ask Claude: “List my advertisers.” Claude calls list_advertisers and reads back the result.

If that works, jump to the recipes.

Troubleshooting

Tools don't show up in Claude

Confirm the JSON is valid (Claude logs a parse error if not). Restart completely — Claude doesn’t hot-reload MCP servers.
