Connect Bytown to Instinct
No settings page and no app to install. Text Instinct the connector, approve access once, and your ads join the conversation.
Instinct is an invite-only personal assistant. It publishes no developer docs, so these steps reflect Bytown's own setup and may change as Instinct evolves.
Connect in 4 steps
Connect your ad accounts in Bytown
Instinct sees exactly the accounts you connect in Bytown, and nothing else. See Connect your ad accounts.
Text Instinct the connector
Send Instinct one text with the connector URL.
Please connect the Bytown MCP server at https://ads.bytown.co/mcp so you can help with my ads.
Approve access and pick your business
Instinct replies with a link. Open it on Bytown's own page, choose the business Instinct should work on and allow access. Instinct never sees a password.
Set up your morning text
Tell Instinct when to text you and when to call.
Text me every morning at 8 with yesterday's ad results from Bytown. Call me if my cost per lead doubles.
When Instinct proposes a change, it texts you the summary. Reply YES to confirm it, or ignore it to leave things as they are.
Switch business or disconnect
In the Bytown business Instinct works on, open Connections → AI assistants → Other MCP assistants and choose Disconnect next to Instinct. It may be listed under the name it registered with. It loses access at once and your ad accounts stay untouched.

Common questions
What if I don't reply to a change Instinct texts me?
Nothing happens. Bytown tells Instinct to get your yes before it confirms, and a change nobody confirms expires after 15 minutes with the account left exactly as it was. Ask Instinct again later if you still want it, and Bytown stages a fresh summary with the latest numbers.
Does Instinct cost extra?
Bytown charges nothing extra for the connector on Pro or Max. Instinct is invite-only and publishes no price during its beta, so check with Instinct for its own terms. Once you're in, the setup above takes one text and one approval.
