Direct APIMicrosoft Advertising API connection

MCP integration for Microsoft Ads connects your AI tools directly to the Microsoft Advertising API. You can create, manage, and analyze Bing campaigns from Claude Desktop without logging into Microsoft Ads Manager. For teams running Google and Microsoft Search in parallel, this centralizes both search platforms in a single interface.

Microsoft Ads reaches searchers on Bing, Yahoo, and Microsoft Edge. The Microsoft Audience Network extends reach to MSN, Outlook, and enables LinkedIn profile targeting. The platform consistently delivers lower CPCs than Google for equivalent keywords, making it a high-ROI complement to Google Search.

### Microsoft Ads Management via Claude

- Create and manage search campaigns across Bing, Yahoo, and Edge
- Configure ad groups, keywords, and match types
- Set bids and automated bidding strategies
- Upload responsive search ads and audience ads
- Manage LinkedIn profile targeting for B2B

## Synter MCP for Microsoft Ads

Synter MCP connects Claude Desktop to the Microsoft Advertising API through direct OAuth authentication. Microsoft Ads is one of Synter's 16-platform canonical catalog. Managing Microsoft Ads through Synter puts it in the same context as Google Ads, making search budget allocation decisions across both platforms straightforward.

For B2B advertisers, Microsoft Ads' LinkedIn profile targeting is a standout feature. You can target Bing searchers by job title, company, industry, and seniority. Synter MCP surfaces this capability through natural language so you can combine search intent with professional profile targeting without navigating separate audience interfaces.

## Example Claude Prompts for Microsoft Ads

### B2B Search Campaign with LinkedIn Targeting

### Cross-Platform Search Budget Allocation

"Compare our Google Ads and Microsoft Ads search performance this month. If Microsoft CPA is lower, increase Microsoft budget by $300/day and reduce Google by the same amount."

## Google Ads Import via MCP

Microsoft Ads supports direct import of Google Ads campaigns, and Synter MCP exposes this as an agent tool. You can prompt Claude to import specific campaigns from Google into Microsoft Ads, with automatic conversion of ad formats and bid strategies. This makes expanding from Google-only to Google plus Microsoft a straightforward one-prompt operation.

### What Gets Imported

- Ad groups and keywords
- Responsive search ads
- Bidding strategies (converted to Microsoft equivalents)
- Negative keyword lists

### What Needs Manual Setup

## FAQ

### Can I manage Microsoft Ads from Claude Desktop?

Yes, with Synter MCP. Connect your Microsoft Advertising account to Synter and install the Synter MCP server in Claude Desktop. You can then create search campaigns, configure ad groups, manage keywords, upload creative, and pull performance reports through natural language prompts. Setup guide at docs.syntermedia.ai/mcp/configuration.

### What is the difference between Microsoft Ads and Bing Ads?

Bing Ads was rebranded to Microsoft Advertising in 2019. The platform now covers Bing search, Microsoft Edge, Yahoo, and the Microsoft Audience Network (MSN, Outlook, LinkedIn profile targeting). Microsoft Ads reaches a distinct audience from Google: it skews toward higher-income, older professionals, and B2B decision-makers.

### Does Microsoft Ads support Google Ads campaign import?

Yes. Microsoft Ads supports direct import from Google Ads, so you can replicate Google Search campaigns in Microsoft Ads with minimal setup. Synter MCP can initiate this import and manage both platforms simultaneously, letting you run parallel campaigns across both search engines from a single Claude conversation.

### How does Microsoft Ads management via MCP work technically?

Synter MCP connects to the Microsoft Advertising API using OAuth credentials from your Microsoft Ads account. When you prompt Claude, the Synter MCP server calls the appropriate API endpoints and executes actions in your live account. All actions are logged in Synter's audit trail.

### Why add Microsoft Ads to a paid media mix that already includes Google?

Microsoft Ads typically delivers lower CPCs than Google for the same keywords, with less advertiser competition in many verticals. For B2B advertisers, the LinkedIn profile targeting available in Microsoft Audience Network is unique. Most advertisers who import their Google campaigns to Microsoft see incremental conversions at a lower cost per acquisition.
