Can ChatGPT search the Facebook Ad Library?
Short answer
Not on its own. The Meta Ad Library renders ads with scripts that ChatGPT's browsing usually can't read in full. Add AdRadar as a connector (paste https://adradarmcp.cloud/mcp, sign in with Google) and ChatGPT can search the public library, rank active ads by days running and break down their hooks and angles in the chat.
Key takeaways
- ChatGPT custom connectors use Developer mode; whether you see it depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.
- AdRadar signs in over OAuth, so you never paste an API key into ChatGPT.
- ChatGPT calls ad_radar_spy for Meta ads and ad_radar_tiktok_top for TikTok top ads; results show as interactive cards where MCP Apps are supported.
- Every Meta row links back to the original ad so you can check it yourself.

FAQ
Does ChatGPT browsing do the same thing?
Not reliably. It may read a few ads from a search result page, but it can't sort the library by run time or tag hooks across dozens of ads.
Do I need an API key?
No. ChatGPT opens a Google sign-in and links your AdRadar key for you.
What does it cost?
1 credit per scan. $3 buys 60 scans and credits never expire.
