Use this server address when adding the connection:

Grok Bot signs in with your Cursor account. Connect ApexGenius from Settings, then Plugins, and authorize in the browser. If you are on a Cursor team, its MCP policy decides whether the server can be added.
When ApexGenius asks what this AI client may use, choose Read only for the first test, or Custom to limit it to the tools you need.
Start a new conversation and select ApexGenius from the available tools before asking for live data.

3. Verify one safe read

Limits in ChatGPT Ads

· An Ads API key is scoped to one ad account. Connect again for a second account.
· Reads never change anything. Pause and activate are the only writes, both run when enabled, and activating starts spend at the campaign budget.
· Archive, budget changes, spend limits, key creation and image uploads are not exposed. Image changes happen in Ads Manager.
· Disconnecting stops future gateway access. It does not undo a pause or activate that already ran.

Questions people ask first

How do I connect ChatGPT Ads?

Create an Ads API key in ChatGPT Ads Manager under Settings, open ChatGPT Ads in ApexGenius Connections, and paste it. ApexGenius checks it against the ad account before saving it encrypted.

Can my AI read spend and conversions?

Yes. Daily insights return spend, impressions, clicks and conversions by campaign, ad group or ad. Conversions count only the events attached to a campaign in Ads Manager.

Can my AI turn a campaign on or off?

It can pause or activate when the tool is enabled. Activating starts spend until someone pauses the campaign again.

Can it create ads or change budgets?

No. Creating campaigns or ads, editing budgets, spend limits, archiving and image uploads are not exposed through ApexGenius. Use Ads Manager for those.

Is this the same key as my website pixel?

No. The Conversions API key belongs to your site. The Ads API key is created separately in Ads Manager Settings and covers one ad account.
