Claude

Let Claude create your ads, here's how.

Connecting AdPanel to Claude lets you create UGC video ads, product shots, and store-URL videos directly in chat. It uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so Claude can run generations and deliver finished ads to your AdPanel account.

Step 1: Add AdPanel as a Custom Connector

  1. Open the Claude desktop app or go to claude.ai in your browser.
  2. Go to Settings and select Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Set the Name to AdPanel.
  5. Paste this URL into the URL field:
https://www.adpanel.io/api/mcp

Click Add.

Step 2: Connect and Sign In

  1. After adding the connector, click Connect.
  2. Claude will redirect you to sign in to your AdPanel account and authorize the connection. You'll see which email is being connected and your credit balance — use the same account you see at adpanel.io. No account yet? You'll create one during this step.
  3. When sign-in completes, AdPanel should show as connected under Settings → Connectors.

Step 3: Allow AdPanel Tools (after connecting)

This step happens after the connector is connected — not during sign-in. Claude defaults every tool to Needs approval. Change them so Claude can run AdPanel without asking every time.

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors → AdPanel.
  2. Under Read-only tools, click the checkmark icon on each tool (or use the category menu) and set them to Always allow.
  3. Under Write/delete tools (create UGC ad, product shots), set those to Always allow as well if you want Claude to generate ads without a prompt each time.

Finished ads appear in My Ads on adpanel.io.

Step 4: Prompt Claude to Create Ads

Once connected, ask Claude to create ads using AdPanel. For example:

  • UGC ad: “Using AdPanel, create a UGC ad with this product image URL and this reference video URL.”
  • Product shots: “Using AdPanel, generate product shots from this product image and this style reference.”
  • From a product page: “Find the main product image URL on this Shopify page, then use AdPanel to create a UGC ad with it.”

Images in chat: AdPanel tools need public HTTPS image URLs — not local files. If you drag a screenshot into Claude, ask Claude to upload it somewhere reachable or to find the official product image online first. This is a Claude/MCP limitation, not an AdPanel one.

Claude will call AdPanel, run the generation, and poll until your ad is ready. You need credits on your AdPanel account to generate.
