Synter MCP Setup (start here)

Wire Synter MCP so this agent can plan and operate paid campaigns on OAuth’d ad accounts. Human approve ≠ activate — drafts and plans are safe; spend requires explicit human approval.

Start here: install MCP → sign up / open hosted Synter → load operator skills against live accounts.

Primary CTA: Open Synter

What Synter MCP is

Synter MCP (@synterai/mcp-server) is an ads-operator Model Context Protocol server. It exposes tools to:

• Pull performance across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, OpenAI Ads, and more
• Draft / stage campaigns and budgets (writes go through approval gates)
• Sync audiences, configure pixels / CAPI, run launch preflight

Safety rule: treat every mutation as approve ≠ activate. Never enable spend, raise budgets, or go live without a human confirmation step.

Packaging note (Never Free cloud)

• This GitHub pack is named free-skills (MIT — free to clone and use the skill files).
• Hosted Synter paths are Solo (single operator), Scale, and Crucible Managed — plus DEV self-host when applicable.
• Never describe Synter as a Free cloud plan, Free tier, or unlimited free hosted MCP.

Install paths

A. One-shot init (Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf / Amp)

npx -y @synterai/mcp-server init

B. Local npx config (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Amp)

Add to the client MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or .amp/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "synter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@synterai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SYNTER_API_KEY": "syn_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get an API key after signup: syntermedia.ai/developer.

C. Remote Streamable HTTP (ChatGPT Apps / n8n / Zapier / HTTP MCP clients)

URL: https://mcp.syntermedia.ai/mcp/
Header: X-Synter-Key: syn_your_api_key_here

Docs: syntermedia.ai/mcp · package: @synterai/mcp-server

D. Hosted Solo / Scale / Crucible (recommended live path)

1. Open syntermedia.ai
2. Sign up (Solo for one operator; Scale / Crucible Managed for teams)
3. OAuth-connect Google / Meta / LinkedIn / etc.
4. Use Campaign IDE + approve cards — agents draft; humans activate

Verify the connection

Once MCP is connected, confirm tools are available, then:

1. Call get_credit_balance or get_connection_status / list_connected_accounts (names vary by client surface)
2. Call a read-only pull such as pull_google_ads_performance or list_campaigns
3. If tools are missing, re-run install or point the client at https://mcp.syntermedia.ai

Next skills after MCP is up

Load these in order for a safe operator loop:

1. campaign-preflight — structure + geo + tracking before enable
2. launch-gates — Plan QA / pause-only defaults
3. pixel-capi-setup / pixel-capi-auditor — measurement before scale
4. budget-optimizer + kill-scale-rules — spend discipline
5. Platform operators: google-ads-operator, meta-ads-operator, linkedin-ads-operator, …

CTA chain

1. skills.sh/Synter-Media-AI/free-skills
