Honest Growth

For AI tools · MCP server

Run Honest Growth inside your AI client.

Native MCP server. Install once and the audit becomes a tool your assistant can call — for diffs, history, single-finding lookups, and live verdicts.

$ claude mcp add honest-growth https://growth.nachiketpai.com/mcp

The hosted endpoint is the goal — today you can run the same server from local source with uv run honest-growth-mcp. The JSON config is in the setup section below.

Claude Desktop · MCP: honest-growth

Audit my Meta account this week — what changed since last week?

Why this matters

We don't put an AI agent in your account.
We put one in your workflow.

  • 01

    The math runs on our server

    Your assistant calls the tool. The tool runs deterministic Python — the same engine that powers the CSV audit. The result is a verdict with the math attached. Your assistant cannot improvise the numbers.

  • 02

    Your assistant explains

    Once it has the verdict, your assistant is great at the thing assistants are great at — explaining, prioritizing, rewriting in plain English. Without inventing numbers.

  • 03

    Read-only, always

    No tool we expose can write to your Meta account. The connected tools read from your live audit history; they cannot modify campaigns. The wedge is the architecture.

The tool catalog · 3 free, 6 with a subscription

Nine tools, in one server.

The three free tools work the moment you install. The six subscriber tools light up once you connect a Meta account and the Watchtower goes live (Q1 2027). No second install, no second credential — just more tools through the same server.

  • run_audit_from_csvFree

    Full audit on a CSV you paste in. Returns ranked findings, math, and fix steps. Same engine as /audit.

    In Claude

    “Run an Honest Growth audit on this CSV: …”

  • list_detectionsFree

    Returns the catalog of all 24 detection rule families with their current thresholds and plain-English names.

    In Claude

    “What does Honest Growth check for?”

  • get_methodologyFree

    Returns the full math, threshold values, and false-positive notes for any specific rule.

    In Claude

    “Explain the frequency saturation rule.”

  • run_audit_on_connected_accountSubscription

    Runs the full audit against your live Meta account via OAuth — read-only. Skip the CSV export.

    In Claude

    “Audit my account right now.”

  • get_live_findingsSubscription

    Returns the most recent verdict from your account's Watchtower run — ranked by recoverable dollars.

    In Claude

    “What's wrong with my account right now?”

  • get_account_timelineSubscription

    90-day history of every campaign push, budget shift, and finding that fired beside it.

    In Claude

    “What changed in my account this week?”

  • compare_to_last_auditSubscription

    Diff between this week's audit and the previous one — resolved, worsened, or new findings.

    In Claude

    “What's new since yesterday's audit?”

  • get_finding_historySubscription

    For a single rule, every week it has fired in the last 90 days — with the dollar impact each time.

    In Claude

    “Has frequency saturation fired on this account before?”

  • acknowledge_findingSubscription

    Tag a finding "fixed" or "intentional" for a window you choose — it stops re-surfacing until then.

    In Claude

    “Mark the placement imbalance as intentional for the quarter.”

The free tier isn't a trial. The server runs inside the process your client spawns, so a pasted CSV never leaves your machine. If you never subscribe, the free tools keep working forever.

Sample prompts

Things to ask your assistant.

Drop these into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-aware client after the server is installed. The assistant picks the right tool, calls it, and shows you the verdict with the math.

  • run_audit_on_connected_account

    “Audit my Meta account this week and rank findings by dollar impact.”

  • compare_to_last_audit

    “What changed in my account since last Monday's audit?”

  • get_finding_history

    “Has the 'frequency saturation' finding fired before? When?”

  • get_methodology

    “Explain the math behind the audience overlap rule.”

  • run_audit_from_csv

    “Take this CSV from Ads Manager and run a full audit on it.”

  • acknowledge_finding

    “Acknowledge the placement imbalance finding as intentional — don't resurface it.”

Installation · 60 seconds

Three lines, in your assistant's config.
