StealAds, inside the AI you already use.

Connect once, then ask in plain words: what a rival keeps running, what is working in a category, what launched this week. Anything that costs credits shows the price and waits for your yes.

Zapier connects your AI to Zapier's own apps rather than to outside connections, so it cannot use this link. For Zapier-style jobs, use n8n or a script with the StealAds command-line tool.

Other apps that take a connection link

Any app that can connect to a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP can use the same link.

Good first questions

  • What Facebook ads is Gymshark running right now?
  • Find the longest-running ads in the meal kit category.
  • What did my competitors launch this week?
  • Make me an ad like this one for my brand. What will it cost?

Good to know

  • A StealAds account is required. Your Claude or ChatGPT plan is separate, and connecting does not buy credits.
  • You approve what the connection can do: read, write, and spend. Revoke it any time in StealAds Settings.
  • Searches return a capped sample of public ads, not the whole library. Run time shows an ad has lasted, not that it sold.
  • StealAds does not manage your ad account.
