What does Win & Scale do that Celtra doesn't list?
Celtra centers on making and shipping ads. These four jobs are where Win & Scale spends its effort.
A creative read by the agent: a Vessa Row fitting-room selfie, a fictional fashion brand, captioned Okay this blazer is the one. Its Values are the angle Staple blazer, the persona Office-to-evening dresser, the format UGC selfie and the hook Fitting room selfie caption. Its ad name, v3_final_FINAL, is only a hint. Your agent reads the ad, not its name
Angle, persona, offer and hook are stored as Values on every creative, read by a classifier and curated by you. Ads with messy names, or none, get read too, so your history counts from the first day.
A brief for Saltmilk, a fictional skincare brand, with a swipe attached as its reference: a Daybloom selfie ad, Active since Oct 3. The concept reads, A Sunday skin reset, shot as a selfie at the bathroom sink. A Make one like this chip starts the brief, written with meta_save_brief. The swipe is reference only and cannot be launched. Research and briefs sit beside the account
Search the Meta Ad Library, save competitor ads to a swipe file, and turn them into a brief. The brief links to the drafts, the launch and the test that came from it.
A test record for Vessa Row, a fictional brand, with its two creatives. The question, Does a fitting-room selfie beat a studio shot for the capsule wardrobe shopper? was frozen on 14 October. Day 3 was low delivery, inconclusive and not a loss. Day 10 appended an observation. Concluding the test leaves the question unchanged. Every test keeps the question it asked
When you commit to a next test, its question and the evidence behind it are frozen. Results are appended, never rewritten, so the answer can't drift to fit what happened.
A launch built with meta_launch_ads for Vessa Row, a fictional fashion brand. The campaign, the cold-persona ad set and the three ads are all Paused. meta_activate is a separate call, waiting for you. Every launch lands paused
Your agent builds the campaign, ad set and ads, all created paused. Turning a launch on is a separate call that waits for your approval.

How would I use Win & Scale next to Celtra?
The two don't connect. Win & Scale reads your Meta account, whoever made the ads in it.
An agent session: one claude mcp add command registers the Win & Scale MCP server, and three of its tools show as connected. Connect your agent
Add the MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, or add it as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude. Sign in once in the browser.
Settings, Meta connection: an ad account id and a masked System User token, checked against Meta before they are saved. The token is encrypted and revocable in Meta. Connect your ad account
A workspace admin pastes a System User token and the ad account id. It's checked against Meta before it's saved, and you can revoke it in Meta any time.
An agent reads the account's history: the prompt “Read our history and tell me what worked”, the call meta_pull_account_history, and three Vessa Row creatives, fictional, each marked Winner, In line or Unproven. Your agent reads the history
It pulls every ad's lifetime totals, reads the Values on each creative, and names the traits that bought more than their share of spend.
