Connecting Claude
Fixes for connecting AdCopilot to Claude — Claude asking permission before every report, Chrome's autofill covering the URL box, no Customize in the sidebar, and custom connectors in a Team or Enterprise organisation.
The full steps are in Connect Claude. These are the places people get stuck.
Claude asks permission before every report
Claude starts every AdCopilot tool on Needs approval, so it asks ("Claude wants to use …") the first time each report or audit runs. To stop that for reads:
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors and choose AdCopilot.
- Under Tool permissions, open the menu beside Read-only tools and choose Always allow.
- Leave Write/delete tools on Needs approval.
Changes still wait for your yes. AdCopilot proposes each one in the chat first, and it can never delete. See Approval-gated writes.
Chrome's autofill covers the URL box
When you click the MCP server URL box, Chrome may drop its autofill list over it. Press Esc to close the list, then paste the URL:
https://mcp.adcopilot.cloud/mcpI don't see Customize
Claude's layout differs between accounts, and Customize is not always where the steps say. Use the direct link instead. It opens the Add custom connector box on every layout we have seen: claude.ai/new?modal=add-custom-connector#customize/connectors/yours. If you are signed out, Claude asks you to sign in first.
Team or Enterprise organisation
In a Claude Team or Enterprise organisation, adding custom connectors may be limited to the organisation's owners. If you can't add one, ask an owner to add AdCopilot with the same name and URL.
Troubleshooting
Find the fix for what you are seeing — connecting Claude or ChatGPT, a missing or out-of-date tool, a partial audit, a budget refusal or warning, a plan cap, a Google product that is not connected, a missing account, reconnecting, and billing.
Connecting ChatGPT
Fixes for connecting AdCopilot to ChatGPT — no developer mode switch, "No app tools available yet", ChatGPT searching the web instead of using AdCopilot, and the sign-in tab that keeps spinning.
