Guide to setting up and using the Arcads Light MCP, including fetching competitor ads.

Written by Nilo

Prerequisites

Before using the Arcads MCP, make sure you have:

  1. An Arcads account — Sign up or sign in at https://app.arcads.ai.

  2. An active subscription with remaining credits — Video generation consumes credits from your Arcads plan. You can check your plan, upgrade, or top up credits here: https://app.arcads.ai/dashboard/settings/billing.

If you don't have an active subscription or you've run out of credits, generation requests will fail.
