Zantau MCP

The ad intelligence your AI agents are missing.

Your AI is guessing.

AI agents can write ads. But they don’t know what works. They’re guessing.

Ask a plain AI chat “what hooks is Calm running right now?” and you’ll get a confident, plausible, invented answer. It has never seen Calm’s ads. It can’t see anyone’s ads.

Zantau MCP fixes that. Same chat, same question, but now the assistant searches the library, reads the breakdowns, and answers from what’s actually running.

Fourteen tools. The full product.

Read any breakdown.

Shot-by-shot storyboards, full scripts word for word, and the analysis. The same depth as the app, delivered into the chat.

Read a brand's strategy.

Which formats a competitor leans on, which ads it's kept paying for, what's scaling right now, and how fast it ships new creative.

Compare brands side by side.

Two to four competitors: formats, angles, and what each one is betting on.

Keep your swipe file.

Save ads to boards, review what's on them, and manage the advertisers you follow, without leaving the conversation.

What is MCP?

A standard plug (the Model Context Protocol) that lets AI assistants safely use other products. You don't need to understand it. You paste one link, sign in, and your assistant gains Zantau's fourteen research tools. It decides when to use them as you chat.

Which AI apps does it work with?

Anything that speaks MCP: Claude (web, desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor, and a growing list of others. Same link everywhere.

Yes. You connect by signing in to Zantau and approving access, so there are no API keys to copy or leak. The assistant acts as you, with exactly your plan's permissions, and you can revoke access any time in Settings.

No. The connection is included on every plan. Free accounts get the free app’s view through the chat; Pro and Team unlock the full archive, breakdowns and transcripts there too.
