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
-
Open Claude Desktop settings
From the Claude Desktop menu, choose Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Claude opens
claude_desktop_config.jsonin your editor. -
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" } } } -
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit completely (not just close the window) and reopen.
-
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.
