Overview
The Meta Ads Export Analyst MCP server enables offline examination of CSV and XLSX files downloaded from Meta Ads Manager. It parses ad campaign data, computes derived metrics, and generates reports without relying on the Meta Marketing API, making it suitable for environments with limited internet access or API restrictions.
Key Capabilities
- CSV/XLSX Parsing: Loads and validates export files from Meta Ads Manager, extracting fields such as campaign name, ad set ID, spend, impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, and conversions.
- Metric Calculations: Performs computations like ROAS (return on ad spend), CPA (cost per acquisition), and performance trends across date ranges.
- Data Filtering and Aggregation: Groups data by campaign, ad set, or custom dimensions; applies filters for specific time periods or performance thresholds.
- Report Generation: Outputs summarized tables, charts, or exportable formats for further analysis in tools like Excel or Python.
No online API calls are required, ensuring data privacy and operation in offline settings.
