What it does

PPC Ad Editor is an ad mockup and review tool for PPC teams and agencies. The connector lets Claude show you how an ad will look before it runs: Google Search, Performance Max, Display, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Claude writes the copy, and the connector checks it against each platform's character limits and lays it out the way the platform does. The connector builds mockups only. It does not publish, buy or serve ads, and it does not connect to your Google Ads or Meta accounts.

Set it up

You need Claude on the web or the desktop app. No PPC Ad Editor account is needed.

  1. 1
    In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
  2. 2
    Choose Add custom connector.
  3. 3
    Name it PPC Ad Editor and paste this URL:https://studio.ppcadeditor.com/api/mcp
  4. 4
    Choose Add. There is no sign-in step.
  5. 5
    In a chat, make sure PPC Ad Editor is switched on in the tools menu, then ask for an ad.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner may need to add the connector for the organization first. Once PPC Ad Editor is listed in Claude's connector directory, you can also add it from there.

Try it

Ask in your own words. These work well:

  • “Make a Google Search ad for portlandsourdough.com with sitelinks and callouts.”
  • “Mock up a Facebook feed ad for our spring sale at greenleafgardens.com.”
  • “Show my client what a Performance Max ad for brightsmiledental.com could look like.”
  • “Write three LinkedIn ad variations for our webinar and preview the best one.”

If you don't name a platform, Claude makes a Google Search ad. To get another format, ask again and name it, for example “now show it as an Instagram story”.

Tools

preview_ad · Preview an ad (read-only)

Shows a mockup of one ad in the chat, built from the copy Claude writes. Works without an account. It keeps a temporary draft for 7 days so you can save it, and changes nothing in any account.

get_ad_formats · Get ad format specs (read-only)

Returns field counts and character limits for each ad format, so Claude can write copy that fits.

create_and_share · Create and share an ad preview (writes)

For PPC Ad Editor customers who connect with an API key from developer tools such as Claude Code or Cursor. It saves previews straight into your workspace and returns a share link. In the Claude chat apps, use the Save & share button on the mockup instead.

Ad formats

  • Google Search: Responsive search ad, with sitelinks, callouts, snippets and a call extension
  • Google Display: Responsive display ad
  • Performance Max: Performance Max ad built from your headlines, descriptions, images and logo
  • Demand Gen: Demand Gen ad
  • YouTube: Video ad with a YouTube link
  • Facebook and Instagram: Single image, carousel, and story or reel
  • LinkedIn: Single image and carousel

One format per mockup. Ask again for each extra format.

Save and share

  1. 1
    Choose Save & share on the mockup. Claude may ask you to confirm before the link opens in your browser.
  2. 2
    Create a free PPC Ad Editor account, or sign in if you have one.
  3. 3
    The ad is saved to your workspace and you get a share link. Clients open it without an account and can leave comments on the exact headline or description.

The save link works for 7 days after the mockup is made. Your plan's usual limits apply when you save.

Limits

  • Images: the connector doesn't generate images. Claude can pass links to images from your website, but Claude's chat apps may block images from other websites, so the mockup can show a placeholder. The full image shows after you save. Google Search ads need no images.
  • Daily limits: previews are rate-limited per day to keep the service fast. If you reach a limit, save your mockup and keep working in PPC Ad Editor.
  • Drafts expire: an unsaved mockup can be saved for 7 days, then it is deleted.
  • Mockups, not live ads: a preview shows how the ad is laid out. Each platform still reviews and decides how your real ad appears.

Privacy

The connector receives only what Claude sends in each tool call: the ad copy, URLs and image links. It never sees your conversation, chat history or files. An unsaved mockup is kept for 7 days and then deleted, and nothing is written to our database until you sign in and save. Details are in the AI assistant connector section of our privacy policy.

Troubleshooting

Claude answers in text and shows no mockup

Check that PPC Ad Editor is switched on in the chat's tools menu, then ask again and name it: “Use PPC Ad Editor to preview this ad.”

“Daily preview limit reached”

Save the mockup you have and continue in PPC Ad Editor, or try again tomorrow.

“Previews are paused for now”

We have paused in-chat previews for a short time. Try again later.

The save link says it has expired

Save links last 7 days. Ask Claude to make the mockup again for a new link.

Remove the connector

In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, choose PPC Ad Editor and remove it.
