Four steps: a free key, one paste, one question. Your AI then looks up Meta's winning ads for you.

You need Node.js 18 or later: Claude Desktop reaches Poseidon through a small bridge it starts with Node.

2 Copy this into Claude Desktop

  1. Open the config file

    In Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json.

  2. Paste this, then save

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "poseidon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.askposeidon.app/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization:${POSEIDON_AUTH}"],
      "env": { "POSEIDON_AUTH": "Bearer psd_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

    If the file already lists other servers, add only the "poseidon" block inside mcpServers.

  3. Quit and reopen Claude Desktop

    Quit it fully (Cmd+Q on a Mac), then open it again. Poseidon appears under the tools button of a new chat.

3 Ask this first question

What are the winning video ads for weight loss in France? Go look in Poseidon.

4 See a real answer

Asked in Claude Code on 13 November 2026, with this exact question. Your AI's wording will differ; the ads and the numbers come from the same data. Shops are shown by their domain.

Poseidon has 230 French weight-loss video ads live for 21+ days (its "winner" rule), read on 12–13 Nov 2026. Only 11 of them have a transcribed script.

Poseidon tags ads by the search keyword that found the brand, so several results aren't really weight loss (a creatine brand, a dog-itching brand, a jeweller, a skincare brand). I've left those out. The real weight-loss winners are below. Reach is Meta's EU total, mostly France.

Brand / productHook (verbatim)Days liveEU reach

bonjourdrink.co runs about 6 more videos with 0.9–1.9M reach that have no transcript yet, so I can't tell you what they say.

What works in France right now:

  • epycure.com: a first-person result with a number ("10 kilos en 3 mois") plus a metabolism or cortisol mechanism, kept running for 150–250 days.
  • bonjourdrink.co: a "stop doing X" hook that calls out a common belief (lemon water) or myths, and a single cause behind several symptoms (bloating, energy crash, irritability). These are newer but reach the most people.

If something's off

Poseidon doesn't appear

Check the file is valid JSON (no missing comma), that Node.js is installed (node -v in a terminal), then quit and reopen.

It says unknown key

The key in POSEIDON_AUTH must start with Bearer psd_.
