An agent can do the same job, and more, by connecting Manifold's MCP server at `https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp` (250 free credits a month). See [Facebook MCP server](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/mcp/facebook.md).

## How it works

1. On the video, open Share, then Copy link.
2. Paste the link here and get the transcript.
3. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

## Read a page's videos, and the ads behind them

One transcript tells you what a video says. With Manifold connected, your agent reads a page's latest videos at once, and the ads it runs in Meta's ad library, so you can see what a competitor says and pays to say.

| | Here | In your agent with Manifold |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Videos | One link at a time | A whole Facebook account, or a search |
| What you get | The words, as text | Hooks, claims and calls to action, compared |
| Numbers | None | Views, likes and shares beside each video |
| Price | Free | 1 credit a transcript |
