# Search the LinkedIn ad library

> Type a keyword, a product category or a company. We search LinkedIn's ad library and show the ads that match, with the company, the copy and when each ran.

This is a free tool on the web page at https://www.manifoldmcp.com/free-tools/linkedin-ad-library-search: 10 runs a day per visitor, no signup, run by a person in a browser. 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 [LinkedIn MCP server](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/mcp/linkedin.md).

## How it works

1. Type what the ads are about, like "project management software".
2. We search LinkedIn's public ad library for ads that match.
3. Read each ad's headline and copy, the company behind it, and its dates.
