Frequently asked questions

What is the VidSniff MCP?

It's a connector that lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor search the VidSniff YouTube ad library for you. You ask in plain language and the assistant pulls real ads, views, spend estimates and landing pages into the chat.

Do I need an API key?

No. VidSniff uses sign-in. Paste the connector address into your assistant, sign in with your VidSniff account and click Approve. There's nothing to install and no key to copy.

Which assistants does it work with?

Any assistant that supports remote MCP connectors with sign-in, including Claude (web, desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients.

Do I need a VidSniff subscription?

Yes. The connector uses the same library as the VidSniff dashboard, so an active plan is required. You can start with a 3-day trial.

Can my assistant create ads?

No. The VidSniff MCP is built for research: finding, comparing and analyzing YouTube ads that are already running. Use the results as inspiration for your own creative.

Are there usage limits?

Each answer returns up to 25 ads, and every account gets up to 300 requests per day, which is plenty for daily research. The limit resets at midnight UTC.
