How I use Claude Code + MCPs to run my marketing

تفصیل

Cody Schneider is back on the podcast, and I ask him to lay out what a real marketing agent looks like once you get past the hype. He draws a hard line: an agent owns unified business data, runs on a cadence, and improves from the results it reads back. We use one concrete business as the sandbox — an AI-first product built on top of WordPress — and Cody walks the entire stack behind a Facebook ads agent that researches pain points, generates static and video creative, publishes through the Facebook Marketing API, kills the losers, and promotes the winners. You leave with a business idea, the exact infrastructure list, and the tools we use to run it today.

A marketing agent earns the name when it owns live data, runs on a cadence, and learns from its own results. The infrastructure comes down to three pieces: a pipeline (Airbyte), a warehouse (ClickHouse), and cloud hosting (Heroku, Railway, or similar). Facebook's Andromeda algorithm reads your creative and your landing page, so the ad copy now carries the targeting. Fresh inputs — competitor ad libraries, YouTube transcripts, podcast transcripts — keep agent creative varied over time. Paid ads let you test a thousand angles and read the market's verdict inside 48 hours.
