# Quickstart

> Get up and running with Lever in 5 minutes

# Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up at [leverhq.app](https://leverhq.app). You'll use this account to connect your ad platforms and authorize your AI agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your ad accounts">
    In your dashboard, click **Connect Google Ads** or **Connect Meta Ads**. You'll be redirected to authorize Lever to manage your campaigns.

    You can connect one or both platforms. Lever works with whatever accounts you have.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your agent">
    Add Lever to your AI agent. Lever uses OAuth — your agent handles the login automatically.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text Claude Desktop theme={null}
      Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
      Enter this URL:

      https://api.leverhq.app/mcp

      Claude Desktop will open a browser window for you
      to log in and authorize. That's it.
      ```

      ```bash Claude Code theme={null}
      claude mcp add lever \
        --transport streamable-http \
        --url https://api.leverhq.app/mcp
      ```

      ```text ChatGPT theme={null}
      Open Settings → Connectors → Developer Mode (ON) → Create.
      Enter this URL:

      https://api.leverhq.app/mcp

      ChatGPT will prompt you to authorize.
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    <Note>
      **No API key needed.** Lever uses OAuth 2.1 — your agent handles authentication automatically via a browser login.
    </Note>

    See the full setup guide for your agent: [Claude Desktop](/connect/claude-desktop) or [Claude Code](/connect/claude-code).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Ask your agent to list your connected accounts:

    > "What ad accounts do I have connected?"

    Your agent will call the `list_connections` tool and return something like:

    ```
    Connected accounts:

    • Google Ads — Account ID: 123-456-7890
    • Meta Ads — Account ID: act_987654321

    You can use these account IDs with the platform tools,
    or omit them if there's only one account per platform.
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Try it

Once connected, try these prompts:

> "Show me my Google Ads campaign performance for the last 7 days"

> "What's my total spend across all platforms this month?"

> "Pause the campaign with the highest CPA"

<Note>
  Write operations go through **draft-preview-confirm**. Your agent will always show you a preview of changes before executing them. You have 5 minutes to confirm — after that, the draft expires automatically.
