How do ChatGPT ads work, and where does Opus Growth fit?

ChatGPT shows sponsored chat cards under answers when a conversation matches what an advertiser offers. OpenAI picks the ad by relevance first: the context hints of the ad group, the card's text, the landing page and the conversation itself. You run the account in OpenAI Ads Manager or through its Ads API. Opus Growth connects that API to Claude and ChatGPT, so you build campaigns, write context hints, find out why an ad is not showing and read results by asking, with a preview before every change.

Campaigns, ad groups, chat cards, locations and platforms, conversion tracking and account spend limits are covered, with a preview and your approval before every change. The same connection also runs Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and LinkedIn ads.

What you can do with the ChatGPT Ads MCP server

Each picture below is a real kind of request and the kind of answer Opus Growth gives inside Claude or ChatGPT.

Build campaigns, ad groups and chat cards by describing them

Create campaigns with a clicks, reach or conversions objective and a daily or lifetime budget, ad groups with a maximum bid per click or per thousand impressions, and chat cards with a title, text, destination and image. Everything starts paused, so nothing spends until you activate it, and every bid is checked against the campaign budget.

Find out why an ad is not showing

One question runs OpenAI's own troubleshooting order: account and brand review, spend limits, campaign status, budget and schedule, low bid warnings, serving issues, ad review and landing pages that fail or redirect. Each blocker comes with the evidence and the fix, and the 24-hour delay on low bid warnings is taken into account.

Our UK campaign has had no impressions for three days. Why?

Reports by hour, platform, country and device

Read spend, impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC and CPM for the account, a campaign, an ad group or an ad, hourly, daily or monthly, split by ChatGPT app and browser, country or device. Rows with no impressions can be included, which is how you see what is not delivering.

Write context hints that match the right conversations

Context hints decide which ChatGPT conversations an ad can appear in. Describe the product and the need in the language your buyers chat in; the assistant adds, replaces or removes hints, up to 2,000 per ad group, and points out the ones that are too vague or that belong in location targeting instead.

Conversion tracking without digging through settings

See your pixels, which conversion events are attached to which campaigns and whether events arrived in the last few minutes. Create standard or custom event settings, attach them to campaigns, and read conversions, cost per conversion, attributed sales and ROAS.

Nothing reaches ChatGPT Ads without your yes.

Every change comes back as a preview first. If a request breaks a safety limit, the assistant says so and offers what is allowed.

  • Preview before every write

    You see the item, the current value and the new value before anything is applied.

  • Budget limits

    A budget can rise by at most 50% in one step and 100% within 24 hours, and a single cut cannot go deeper than 80%.

  • New campaigns start paused

    Campaigns, ad groups and ads built from the chat are created paused and spend nothing until you activate them.

  • Every action is logged

    Applied changes are recorded with the account and the time.

ChatGPT Ads MCP: frequently asked questions

As of October 2026, OpenAI's developer documentation describes Ads Manager and the Ads API (the Advertiser API) and does not list an MCP server of its own. Opus Growth connects the Ads API to Claude and ChatGPT as a hosted MCP server, together with Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok and LinkedIn, with a preview before every change.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to call external tools. A ChatGPT Ads MCP server gives Claude or ChatGPT tools for your OpenAI ad account. Opus Growth hosts it for you, so you paste one address instead of running a server.

In Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop) open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.opus-growth.com/mcp. Sign in on the window that opens. On Claude's free plan you can add one custom connector; on Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it for the workspace. Then say "connect my ChatGPT Ads account" and paste the Ads API key from OpenAI Ads Manager.

In ChatGPT open Plugins in the left sidebar, choose Add, then Add custom MCP server. Name it Opus Growth, paste https://mcp.opus-growth.com/mcp, tick "I understand and want to continue", click Create plugin and approve the sign-in window. Then ask it to connect your ChatGPT Ads account and paste the Ads API key from OpenAI Ads Manager.

In OpenAI Ads Manager, open Settings and create an Ads API key. Each key belongs to one ad account, so a second account needs its own key. Opus Growth checks the key against the account before storing it, stores it encrypted and never shows it back. Connecting the same account again replaces the key, which is how you rotate it.

Context hints are short sentences on an ad group that describe the product, the use case or the need. OpenAI uses them together with the card text, the landing page and the conversation to decide where an ad can appear. They are not keywords and they do not replace country or platform targeting. Write them in the language your buyers chat in; an ad group can hold up to 2,000.

The usual causes are an account or brand review that is not approved, an account spend limit that is used up, a campaign outside its schedule or out of budget, a bid that is too low, an ad still in review, a landing page that fails, or a category that OpenAI's policy blocks in the targeted country. OpenAI raises the low bid warning no sooner than 24 hours after an ad group edit. Ask Opus Growth why your ad is not showing and it checks all of these in OpenAI's order.

OpenAI shows ads to adult users on some ChatGPT plans in the countries where ads are available, and conversations on sensitive topics do not show ads. The list of plans and countries changes, so OpenAI's help center is the current source. A location you can target is not automatically a country where ads deliver.

Nothing reaches the ad account until you say yes. Every write comes back first as a preview with the item, the current value and the new value. New campaigns, ad groups and ads start paused, a bid can never exceed the campaign's daily budget, a budget cannot rise more than 50% in one step or 100% within 24 hours, nor drop more than 80% in one step, and applied changes are written to an audit log. Archiving cannot be undone through the API, so the assistant says so first.

Yes, on the Agency plan. Connect one Ads API key per ad account, pick a default, and name the account in a question when you want another one. Basic and Pro connect one ChatGPT Ads account.

There is a free trial with 75 credits that never expire and no card required. Basic is $29 a month for 1,000 credits across all live platforms, Pro is $49 a month for 5,000 credits across all live platforms, and Agency is $99 a month for unlimited credits plus multi-account management. Yearly plans are $490 and $990, billed in USD through Paddle, and you can cancel anytime. There is also All-in-One at $149 a month, which adds an AI Server and 15,000 SEO credits every month, and Enterprise for teams from $299 a month.
