# Upspring ad context

Upspring turns live ads into structured, reasoning-ready context. The MCP is already connected as `upspring` at `https://api.upspring.ai/mcp` after the user completes OAuth.

## When to use

- Competitive creative research
- "What's running for [brand / category]?"
- Hook, offer, claim, or landing-page patterns
- Spend / traffic / sales grades (coarse estimates, never exact figures)

## How

1. List tools on the connected Upspring MCP server. Do not invent tool names.
2. Use taxonomy / filter tools before dumping large ad lists.
3. Prefer structured fields (hooks, claims, offers, landing pages, grades) over raw HTML.
4. Treat spend, traffic, and sales as modelled or third-party tiers, not exact numbers. Say that when you cite them.
5. If auth fails, tell the user to reconnect Upspring OAuth in Cursor plugin settings. Do not ask them to paste an API key.
