Meta Ads Search

Search Meta Ads Library through the local Frevana daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Purpose

This skill is for finding Meta/Facebook ads by keyword or advertiser text using the Chrome Extension-backed Frevana MCP tool frevanametaads_search.

Inputs:

• keyword (required) - keyword, advertiser, or brand text to search in Meta Ads Library
• country (optional) - ALL or an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code such as US, CN, or GB; defaults to ALL
• active_status (optional) - active, inactive, or all; defaults to active
• date_from (optional) - inclusive start date in YYYY-MM-DD
• date_to (optional) - inclusive end date in YYYY-MM-DD
• maxResults (optional) - maximum number of ads to return, defaults to 20, max 500
• timeout (optional) - timeout in milliseconds

Output:

• raw Frevana JSON text containing structured Meta ad records

Summarize the results unless the user asks for the raw output.

What This Skill Needs

• user-provided keyword
• bundled scripts/setup.sh wrapper, which downloads and runs the latest official Frevana setup script
• Frevana local daemon running after setup, default port 12306
• Chrome connected through the Frevana Chrome Extension
• Meta Ads Library reachable in the connected Chrome session
• curl
• bash
• python3

This is a Chrome Extension skill. It uses the local daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Execution Order

Use this flow:

1. Confirm the user has provided keyword or equivalent advertiser / brand text.
2. Prefer the script over ad hoc frevana call commands.
3. Default country to ALL, active_status to active, and maxResults to 20. Do not invent optional date range or timeout values.
4. Let the script run bundled scripts/setup.sh before every Frevana tool call.
5. If setup reports Chrome disconnected, stop and tell the user to open Chrome, connect the Frevana extension, and retry.
6. Run the Meta Ads search only after setup succeeds.
7. If the result looks like login/auth content or Meta Ads Library is unavailable, tell the user they may need an available Chrome session and retry.
8. Return a concise summary of the ads, or the raw JSON if requested.
9. When useful, save the output to a file.

Commands

Basic keyword search

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_meta_ads.sh \
  --keyword "nike"

--query, --q, and --text are accepted as aliases for --keyword. Without extra options, this searches active ads in all countries and returns up to 20 ads.

Filter by country and active status

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_meta_ads.sh \
  --keyword "nike" \
  --country US \
  --active-status active

--active_status is accepted as an alias for --active-status.

Limit date range and result count

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_meta_ads.sh \
  --keyword "nike" \
  --date-from 2026-01-01 \
  --date-to 2026-06-22 \
  --max-results 50

--datefrom, --dateto, and --maxResults are accepted as aliases.

Save output to file

bash <skill-path>/scripts/search_meta_ads.sh \
  --keyword "nike" \
  --output ./out/meta-ads-search-result.json

Fixed Tool Call Shape

The script calls:

frevana call frevana_meta_ads_search '<json_args>'

The JSON arguments always include the default country, active status, and result limit; other optional fields are omitted when not provided:

{
  "keyword": "nike",
  "country": "ALL",
  "active_status": "active",
  "maxResults": 20
}

When the user specifies country and result limit, they override those defaults:

{
  "keyword": "nike",
  "country": "US",
  "active_status": "active",
  "date_from": "2026-01-01",
  "date_to": "2026-06-22",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "timeout": 120000
}

Do not pass unsupported fields to frevanametaads_search.

Output

• Success: the script prints the Frevana tool result to stdout
• With --output: the same result is also written to the specified file path
• Failure: the script prints the Frevana error or preflight failure to stderr and exits non-zero

Notes

• Require --keyword, --query, --q, or --text.
• --country defaults to ALL; set a two-letter uppercase country code to restrict results to one country.
• --active-status defaults to active; use inactive or all only when the user explicitly requests it.
• --date-from and --date-to must use YYYY-MM-DD.
• --max-results defaults to 20 and must be an integer from 1 through 500.
• --timeout must be a positive integer when provided.
• The script runs bundled scripts/setup.sh before every search, matching the original Frevana skill flow.
• scripts/setup.sh downloads and executes the latest official setup script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FinpeakInc/frevana-cli-releases/refs/heads/main/skills/frevana/scripts/setup.sh.
• If frevana is missing, the official setup script installs the Frevana binary before starting/checking the daemon.
