Verdict

Pick Meta Ads MCP if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Pick Task Master AI if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Add Meta Ads MCP

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meta-ads-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://meta-ads.mcp.pipeboard.co/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
