Ads integration
Connect StefanBrain to Vantage
Bring Vantage's database of vetted, scaling DTC brands into a StefanBrain chat. Sign in once, then ask for ads, transcripts, funnels, and your swipe files in plain words.
What connecting Vantage unlocks
Search the ads of scaling brands
Filter Vantage's ads by awareness level, authority figure, hook, angle, avatar, format, offer, landing-page type, store traffic, and how long each ad has run.
Read any ad in full
Get an ad's complete copy, the verbatim transcript of its video, its landing page, and how its rank inside the brand moved over time.
Map a competitor's funnel
See a brand's store signals, recent ads, and creative patterns, and which advertorial, listicle, quiz, or product page its ads send traffic to.
Turn research into a brief
Pull market ads, competitors' long-running ads, the brands you follow, and a swipe file into one research packet before StefanBrain writes hooks or scripts.
Your swipe files and followed brands
Read your Vantage swipe files with your saved notes, save new ads to them, and follow new brands without leaving the chat.
Tools your chats can call

How to connect
1Open Connectors and choose Vantage
In StefanBrain, open Connectors, search for Vantage, and click Connect. There is no key to paste.
2Sign in to Vantage
Vantage opens its own sign-in page. Sign in with the account you already use for Vantage, by Google, Discord, or an email link.
3Return to StefanBrain
After you sign in, Vantage sends you back to StefanBrain, and the Vantage card shows as connected.
4Ask your first question
Try asking for solution-aware supplement ads with an authority figure on camera, or for the ads in one of your swipe files.
Good to know
- Vantage is invite-only, and its public signups are closed. You need an existing Vantage account to connect it.
- Your follow list in Vantage is shared with your team, so following or unfollowing a brand changes it for everyone on the team.
- Removing an ad from a swipe file also removes your note on it. The swipe file itself stays.
- Unfollow Vantage Brands and Remove Ads from a Vantage Swipe File start switched off, since each can act on up to 100 brands or 50 saved ads at once. You can switch either on in the connector's tool settings.
- Ads you saved from the Meta Ad Library that Vantage does not track come back with only what the ad card showed.
Your credentials stay yours
- We never store your passwords
- Encrypted at rest and in transit
- Disconnect anytime
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Vantage API key?
No. The Vantage card signs in with your Vantage account, so there is no key to copy or paste.
Can I connect if I am not a Vantage member yet?
No. Vantage is invite-only, and its public signups are closed. Join Vantage's waitlist first, then connect once you have an account.
Will StefanBrain change anything in my Vantage account?
Only when you approve it. Following a brand and saving ads to a swipe file each ask first. Unfollowing brands and removing swipe-file ads start switched off. Searches and reads run without asking.
How is this different from the other ad research connectors?
Vantage only includes brands it has checked and found to be scaling. Its filters cover awareness level, authority figures, hooks, angles, avatars, and the landing pages ads send traffic to.
I already added Vantage as a custom MCP. Do I need both?
No. The Vantage card reaches the same Vantage tools. You can keep your custom connector or remove it in Connectors once the card is connected.
How do I disconnect?
Open Connectors in StefanBrain, choose the Vantage card, and disconnect it. StefanBrain stops using your Vantage account right away and asks Vantage to cancel the sign-in.
