50k ft — Why care?
Setup for having Claude Code generate and launch static Meta ads: clone the creator's GitHub repo in Claude Desktop's code tab, give it an Arcads.ai API key, add the Facebook/Meta Ads MCP as a custom connector, hand it an Airtable database of 2,000 example ads, have it ask 20 questions about your offer, pick 50 concepts, and upload creatives by cloning settings from an existing ad ID. Claims $30k revenue at 10-50 cents per image.
10k ft — Key takeaways
• Clone an existing ad's settings by ID so uploads don't break targeting.
• Give the agent a database of proven ads as reference, not just a brief.
• Make it ask ~20 questions about your offer before generating.

First step is to download Cloud Desktop at this URL. Then go to this GitHub, grab that link, open Cloud Desktop and make sure you're on the code tab. Just paste in that URL and then ask Cloud Code to help you set this up. You're gonna go to a site called arcads.ai. Log in or sign up. Then open the settings tab and go to public API.
