Show HN: I built an MCP with my friend to share our knowledge with X Ads

Two builders launched an MCP server that packages their X Ads knowledge and sells it with license keys, after earning $1,200 in profit on $400 of ad spend in their first month. The pair reported more than 10 sales within days of launch and posted the project to Hacker News, where it received 2 points and 0 comments.

Me and my friend (Fred) made 3x profit ($400 on ads and $1200 in profit) with X Ads this month and surprisingly, we did it well starting from very first week - we just didn't have enough money (we still don't have) to spend more in early steps. Many founders / builders asked as how we managed to be profitable from day one with ads. So, we decided why not to put all our knowledge in a structured way into one MCP and sell it in affordable price with license keys? So, that what we built - we launched few days ago and already made more than 10 sales, pretty happy with the result. So many builders in this community, sharing so that maybe we can help them as well (and ofc we get paid).

Looking forward for community feedback at least.
