Poseidon in VS Code

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

1 Get your free key

100 credits, no card. A search costs 5 credits, so that's 20 searches. Already have a key? Go to step 2.

One free key per email, with 100 credits. Your email is kept only as a scrambled hash. How we handle your data

2 Copy this into VS Code

  1. Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project

    {
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "poseidon-key",
      "description": "Poseidon API key (psd_...)", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "poseidon": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.askposeidon.app/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:poseidon-key}" }
    }
  }
}

    VS Code asks for your key the first time and keeps it in its secret store, so the key never sits in the file.

  2. Start it

    Click Start above "poseidon" in the file and paste your key. Then open Copilot Chat in Agent mode: Poseidon's tools are under the tools button.

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
epycure.com "Boost Métabolisme" (862034243491035)« J'ai perdu 10 kilos en 3 mois, comment t'expliques que ça marche aussi bien ? »2492.77M

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

Update VS Code: MCP servers need a recent version with GitHub Copilot Chat.
