  • Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

Run the install script directly, or paste https://composio.dev/hermes into your Hermes chat box to have it installed for you.

What is the Linkedin Ads MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Linkedin Ads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkedin Ads account. It provides structured and secure access to your ad accounts, campaign groups, creatives, targeting data, lead forms, and organization content, so your agent can search ad accounts, inspect campaigns, create lead forms, review targeting options, and forecast ad inventory on your behalf.

  • Ad account discovery and creation: Have your agent search existing ad accounts by status or type, retrieve account details, or create a new ad account.
  • Campaign and creative review: Let the agent retrieve campaign group details and search your LinkedIn Ads creatives using available filters.
  • Audience targeting and forecasting: Direct your agent to explore targeting options such as industries, locations, seniorities, job functions, and skills, then check ad inventory forecasts for your planned audience, budget, and bid.
  • Lead forms and conversion tracking: Instruct your agent to create or retrieve lead generation forms and list the conversion rules connected to an ad account.
  • Organization content and audience data: Have your agent find LinkedIn organizations, review posting permissions, list organization posts, and inspect available audience segments.

Way Forward

With Linkedin Ads connected, Hermes can now act on your behalf whenever it detects a relevant task or you ask it to.

From here, you can extend Hermes further:

  • Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Hermes can do for you.
  • Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Hermes can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
  • Let it learn your patterns: The more you use Hermes, the better it gets at anticipating how you'd handle recurring tasks. Give it feedback on drafts and decisions, and it will adapt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Linkedin Ads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Linkedin Ads tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Linkedin Ads and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Hermes fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Linkedin Ads tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Linkedin Ads scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Linkedin Ads data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
