VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableProductivity & WorkflowData & AnalyticsBusiness & Commerce

Overview

AI-generated overview

Duchamp is a remote MCP server for competitor ad research, letting coding agents search long-running ads, open keyframes and transcripts, and compare brands.

What you can do
Search and open observed ads, including long-running ones, with copy, keyframes, transcripts and landing pages, and find duplicate creatives or hook banks by niche or advertiser page. Break down and compare advertisers: brand anatomy, landing pages, paid partners, creative velocity and domain lookups. Manage a saved library: save ads, labels and links, create boards, update notes, tags and ratings, and export boards as JSON or CSV. Compose reference transfer briefs from ads, labels, pages or boards. Read your own Meta ad account performance: workspaces, insights, timeseries, creative and ad reports. Read and manage marketing projects.
When to use it
Useful when an agent needs competitor or market ad research: finding ads that have run 90+ days, mining hooks and offers, comparing advertisers, or turning saved ads into a brief. Also relevant for reviewing your own Meta ad performance alongside competitor research.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at duchamp.app/api/mcp with OAuth sign-in to a free Duchamp account; no API key. Saved library, team boards, Performance and marketing tools each need a separate per-app opt-in on the site. Performance requires connecting your own Meta ad account (read only). Network access required.
Before you install
Signing in grants access to your account data; saved items, boards, watched pages and usage are stored. Connecting a Meta ad account stores its ad metadata, daily numbers and an encrypted read-only token, and performance numbers reach an AI app only after you allow it. Library tools write, update and remove saved items and boards. Transcripts are raw speech-to-text and AI analyses are references; verify before relying on them. Paid Pro tier is listed, though payments are not open yet.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Duchamp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.duchamp-app%2Fduchamp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Duchamp — ad research for coding agents

Duchamp is an ad-research tool for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It finds the ads curated advertisers have kept running for 90+ days, and you save, compare, and pull the research materials into your agent, on the web or over one remote MCP server: https://duchamp.app/api/mcp.

Call search_ads first, then get_ad or get_brand_anatomy. Creative files, ad copy, keyframes, and transcripts need the signed-in account. Lists and counts on the site are public. A reference prompt from compose_transfer_brief is a reference. It does not promise the same look or the same outcome. The original ad stays a link (duchamp_url). get_ad returns timestamped keyframes, the speech transcript, full body copy, the landing URL, and observed numbers, plus a stored AI analysis when one exists (format, hook, 15 emotional drivers, persona, creative targeting, product category, first product appearance — filled by a nightly batch, Foreplay-style). Treat the analysis as a reference and check it against the materials; search_ads can filter by its fields. Product facts passed to compose_transfer_brief are not stored. Saved items, boards, and watched advertiser pages are stored for the signed-in user. Those tools need a separate per-app opt-in on duchamp.app/saved/connect.

38 tools are registered: 26 ad-research tools, 6 Performance tools, 2 label tools, and 4 marketing workspace tools. The table below is that set.

Performance (your own Meta ad accounts, read only): connect an ad account on duchamp.app/performance, group accounts into workspaces (one per client or brand), then allow the app on duchamp.app/performance/connect. list_workspaces → get_performance_insights with a workspace_id or account_ids (group by ad name, copy, creative, landing page, headline, campaign, ad set, account, workspace or Audience Segment — New Audience, Engaged Audience, Existing Customer, sorted by the workspace's campaign-name rules or Duchamp's defaults; by a Meta breakdown at account level — country, age, gender, platform, placement, Meta customer segment; or compare rule groups) → get_performance_timeseries / get_performance_creative / get_performance_ad. Scores (hook, watch, click, convert, viral) are percentiles among every ad (or group) of the workspace in the same period — they are not an industry benchmark. Numbers use the ad set attribution setting and impression-time reporting unless you pick a window with attr_click (1d, 7d, 28d) and attr_view (none, 1d) — Meta no longer returns 7-day or 28-day view. Besides spend, ROAS, CPA, CTR and video rates there are website and Shop purchases, landing page views, add to cart, checkout, leads, drop-off rates and your custom conversions (cc_<id>_total, _value, _cost, _roas, listed by get_performance_metrics with a workspace_id).

Team boards (read only): list_boards with scope: "team" or "all" adds the team's boards (marked scope: "team"); pass board_scope: "team" to get_board, export_board and compose_transfer_brief, and use list_saved with scope: "team" for teammates' shared ads. This needs a separate team access per app on duchamp.app/saved/connect, and only teammates who turned on AI sharing appear — no notes, saved titles, link items or comments.

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json, then press Connect next to duchamp in Cursor's MCP settings:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "duchamp": { "url": "https://duchamp.app/api/mcp" }  }}

Any other MCP client — add a remote server named Duchamp with transport Streamable HTTP and URL https://duchamp.app/api/mcp. The first connection opens a browser for OAuth.

Plugin install (skills + agent)

The plugin adds eleven skills (nine active, two paused) and a judge agent on top of the MCP server.

Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add duchamp-app/duchamp/plugin install duchamp@duchamp

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add duchamp-app/duchampcodex plugin add duchamp@duchamp

Then sign in once: Claude Code /mcp → duchamp → Authenticate; Codex codex mcp login duchamp.

  • ads-research: find working ads, open one ad with its materials, break down an advertiser, compare your page, and keep a saved library. This is the skill to use.
  • Research skill packs — workflows the agent runs end to end. Say "use the skill on …":
    • evergreen-hunt: ads that ran 90+ days in a niche, clustered by hook, with transcripts for the strongest.
    • weekly-competitor-sweep: your watched advertisers' last 7 days as a Slack-ready Monday brief.
    • creative-test-autopsy: what one advertiser is testing now vs what it keeps scaling.
    • board-to-brief: a named board turned into a production brief with three angles grounded in the saved ads.
    • hook-mining: a hook bank for a niche and format, ranked by how long the ads ran.
    • domain-war-room: a competitor's domain turned into its ads, hooks, landing pages, paid partners and attack angles.
    • angle-theft-detector: your winning creatives from Performance (your own Meta ad accounts) matched to lookalike ads from other advertisers, with how crowded each angle is.
  • connect-extension: install and connect the Duchamp Chrome extension (opens the Chrome Web Store page in your Chrome, you click Add and Connect), then confirm the first save from the Meta Ad Library.
  • make and launch-kit: paused. They call tools that are not registered. Do not call those tools. Use ads-research.
  • visual-judge agent (Claude Code): a fresh-context reviewer. The make skill that used to call it is paused.

Everything runs on your own Claude Code or Codex subscription.

Tools

ToolWhat it doesCounts toward daily limit
search_reference_labelsSearch Duchamp's written breakdowns of long-running ads (advertiser, days running, format, hook, evidence, why it was picked, ad-library link). No creative files.No
get_reference_labelOne label in full: beats, layers, and transfer rules (what to swap, what needs your own facts, what never to invent). A research reference, not a reproduction.No
search_adsSearch observed ads. By default only active ads running 90+ days; all: true shows every observed ad. Days running, survival, rank (position in that advertiser's own Meta impression-sorted list — not comparable across advertisers, not performance), signed-in ad copy, and creative URLs on Duchamp's mirror. Inline images are low-resolution previews.No
get_adOne observed ad with research materials: facts, history, full body copy, landing URL, variants, timestamped keyframe URLs (up to 16), the timestamped speech transcript, a label summary when one exists, up to three other long-running ads from the same advertiser, and creative URLs on Duchamp's mirror.No
get_ad_duplicatesEvery visible ad that uses the same image or video files as one ad: same_creative (all files identical, in order) and same_asset (shares at least one file, e.g. one carousel card). Byte-identical files only. search_ads with group_by: "exact_creative" collapses them into one item per creative.No
search_ad_hooksHook bank: opening lines grouped across ads with distinct ad counts, active counts and days running. source: "speech" is the first sentence spoken in the video (with the second it starts), source: "copy" the first line of the ad body. Filter by advertiser page, niche or text.No
get_brand_anatomyOne advertiser page: mix, long-running ads, positions in its own impression-sorted list, hooks, landings, CTAs.No
compare_brandsUp to four advertiser pages side by side. No impression counts and no revenue.No
get_connection_statusCall first in a new session. Confirms sign-in and whether this app may use the saved library and the marketing workspace, with the page to allow it and the next steps.No
get_extension_statusWhether this user's Duchamp Chrome extension is connected (count, version, last used), and how to connect it. Poll it while guiding an install.No
get_brand_landingsOne advertiser's observed ads grouped by landing page (tracking parameters removed, product and app ids kept), with ad and active counts.No
get_brand_partnersPages Meta shows as paid partners ("Paid partnership with …") on one advertiser's observed ads, with ad and active counts, first and last seen dates and a Meta ad library link; also other tracked advertisers that show this page as partner, and up to 24 partnership ads (ads: partner page, days running, format, title, Duchamp link; running first, then longest running, not a performance rank). Creator names and deal terms are not in the data.No
get_creative_velocityOne advertiser's ads launched, retired and active per day over 7, 14, 30 or 60 days (net change, peak day, average per day) and a timeline of the ads that ran, same creative optionally grouped, plus creative tests (2+ ads started the same day in the last 60 days: N/M still running and the ad that outlasted the rest — days running, not a rank), plus day signals with the change vs last week (ads running now for 90+ days, and creatives adding 3+ variants among ads started in the last 14 days — the advertiser turned on several versions, not a rise in reach). Days before Duchamp first observed the page are a lower bound.No
find_advertisers_by_domainTracked advertiser pages whose ads send people to a domain or URL (subdomains included). A matching domain is not proof of ownership.No
get_collection_statusHow fresh and deep the observations are per tracked page (last seen, days observed, days ranked, last attempt) and pages collected per day for 7 days. Check it before trusting rank changes.No
list_watched_brandsAdvertiser pages this user watches, including the one marked as their own.No
list_savedThis user's saved ads, labels, and https URLs, each with its note, tags and rating. Filter by tag or min_rating. scope: "team" lists teammates' shared ads and labels (paged).No
list_boardsThis user's boards. scope: "team"/"all" adds team boards.No
get_boardOne board. Ad items include observation numbers, signed-in copy, and creative URLs on Duchamp's mirror. Label items include a summary and no creative files.No
watch_brandWatch an advertiser page (page id or advertiser-page URL). is_mine marks the user's own page.No
unwatch_brandStop watching an advertiser page.No

create_boardCreate a board.No
add_to_boardAdd saved item ids to a board.No
update_savedChange one saved item's title, note, tags (replaces all) or 1–5 star rating (null clears it) — the same fields as the saved card on duchamp.app.No
remove_from_boardRemove saved item ids from a board. The items stay in the library.No
export_boardOne board as JSON (default) or CSV: a row per item with note, tags, rating, observed numbers, signed-in ad copy and links. No creative file URLs. CSV cells that could run as spreadsheet formulas are prefixed with '. Also gives a signed-in download link.No
compose_transfer_briefA reference prompt from ads, labels, a page, or a board, plus facts from the user's own context. A reference only, not a guaranteed reproduction. Those facts are not stored and not logged.No
list_workspacesThe user's workspaces (groups of ad accounts per client or brand) with their enabled ad accounts (currency, timezone, synced coverage), unassigned accounts and saved reports. Needs a separate opt-in on the Performance connect page.No
get_performance_metricsEvery Performance metric id, formula and unit, the score rules, grouping dimensions and attribution windows; with a workspace_id or account_ids, that scope's custom conversions too.No
get_performance_insightsTop Performing (group by one dimension, including Meta breakdowns) or Comparison (rule groups) report with metrics, scores and net results, for a chosen attribution window, plus creative test targets: New Launched, Scaling, Winners and Losers counts against the workspace's own thresholds (set on the Creative Tests page), new creatives and the prior period. preset opens one of five sample reports (creative_fatigue with CPC and ROAS change from the prior period, landing_pages, product_comparison from ad-name tokens, image_vs_video, video_analysis) — preset groupings and sorting, not a verdict.No

The ad research tools are not on a daily fetch meter. 38 tools are in the table.

Example prompts

First prompts (replace the [ ] parts):

  • Brand snapshot — "Using the Duchamp MCP, look up [advertiser name or homepage] (find_advertisers_by_domain for a homepage, or facets.pages of search_ads for a name). Show the 6 newest live ads with search_ads (page_id, status active, sort recent, all true) and link each duchamp_url. Then 3 bullets: formats, offers, the most common angle."
  • UGC script rewrite — "search_ads for live selfie-style video ads in [niche], pick the longest-running, pull its transcript with get_ad and rewrite it as a 30-second script for [your product]. Keep the structure, change the words."
  • Offer scan — "search_ads for live ads in [niche] and list every offer (discounts, bundles, free shipping, guarantees, trials), ranked by how often they appear, with one ad for each of the top 3."
  • Format mix check — "Count live ads in [niche] by medium (video, image, carousel) with search_ads, show the longest-running example of each and the under-used format."
  • Ad copy swipe — "Find 10 image ads in [niche] that ran 90+ days with search_ads, pull their copy with get_ad and rewrite the best 5 for [your product]."

More:

  • "Find long-running ads in my niche with search_ads. List the advertiser, days running, and duchamp_url. Do not invent impression counts or revenue."
  • "Open this ad with get_ad, then get_brand_anatomy for the advertiser. Read the keyframes and transcript, then tell me the hook and the offer. Link duchamp_url."
  • "Watch my page with watch_brand and is_mine true, watch a competitor, then compare_brands. At most four pages."

How it works

  1. Check the connection with get_connection_status. If the saved library is not allowed for this app, open the link it returns before saving.
  2. Search with search_ads.
  3. Open one ad with get_ad, or one advertiser with get_brand_anatomy.
  4. Compare with compare_brands (at most four page ids) or save with the library tools after the saved-library opt-in.
  5. Hand off with compose_transfer_brief when the user asks. It is a reference prompt. It does not promise the same ad.

Limits & account

  • Sign in with a free Duchamp account on the first connection (OAuth in your browser). No API key.
  • The ad-research tools are not counted toward a daily limit.
  • Pro is listed at $19/month or $190/year (5 competitor pages of your own collected daily, unlimited MCP). Once payments open, Free keeps search unlimited and opens 10 ads a day over MCP. Payments are not open yet, so everything is free with no limits for now. See duchamp.app/en/pricing.
  • Items appear on their release date. Ids not listed on the site are not available.

Privacy

Duchamp stores your account, usage records, saved items, boards, and watched advertiser pages. If you connect an ad account to Performance, Duchamp stores that account's ad metadata and daily performance numbers (and an encrypted read-only access token) for your account only — never in the public library or a team — and deletes them when you turn the account off, disconnect, or remove the app in Facebook settings. Performance numbers go to an AI app only after you allow that app on the Performance connect page. Product facts passed to compose_transfer_brief are not stored. Your rendered files stay on your machine. Duchamp does not call a model on your requests. Speech transcripts are made once per video when it is collected. Duchamp does not reproduce the ad. Signed-in ad research can include creative URLs on Duchamp's mirror. Reference labels do not include creative files.

What Duchamp does not do:

  • No generation of human faces, human likenesses, face swaps, deepfakes, or synthetic voices. Duchamp does not create synthetic media of real people.
  • No voice cloning, no audio or music generation, no adult content, no AI companion or relationship features.
  • Templates: no display or re-hosting of other people's posts or accounts. Templates carry no original wording, images, or account names.
  • Ads research: signed-in callers get creative URLs on Duchamp's mirror. Inline images in tool results are low-resolution previews for the agent. When showing the user, link duchamp_url. Reference labels still do not include creative files. Duchamp does not reproduce the ad.
  • No scheduling or publishing. Performance reads only ad accounts you connect yourself (Meta, read only, ads_read) for performance reports. No server-side content generation. No engagement automation, and no access to any account the user does not own.
  • No aggregation or resale of personal data, and no performance guarantees.

Rights in the original posts stay with their rights holders. To ask for a template to be taken down, write to [email protected] with the original URL.
