This AI setup could waste your entire ad budget.
And everyone's rushing to turn it on.
I break this down in the video.
But here's the short version. 👇
TikTok just announced their Ads MCP server.
Meta already has one.
Google too.
Amazon too.
So now one AI agent can manage your campaigns
Across all four platforms.
Set budgets. Shift spend. Optimise bids.
Without you ever touching Ads Manager.
Sounds incredible right?
Don't do it.
Not yet.
Here's why:
Your AI agent will optimise based on the data it has.
And that data is broken.
Most brands still measure on last-click attribution.
Last-click systematically undervalues certain channels.
Especially the ones that create demand
But don't capture the final click.
So your AI agent will look at the numbers
And confidently move budget away from what's actually working.
While doubling down on what just happened to get the last touch.
You've just automated bad decisions.
At machine speed.
Before you connect anything to anything
Fix the measurement layer first.
Incrementality testing.
Search lift tracking.
Assisted conversion pathways.
Multi-touch attribution.
Without that?
You're giving a very smart robot
Very dumb data.
And it will execute flawlessly
On the wrong strategy.
Three things to do before you connect your MCPs:
💫 Get your attribution model beyond last-click.
💫Build incrementality testing into your media mix.
💫Understand which channels create demand vs. capture it.
Then connect your MCPs.
Then let the AI agents loose.
I go deeper on this in the video.
Are you connecting your MCPs yet? Or waiting?
