listing.about

Connects to the Google Ads API so an assistant can search account data, run GAQL queries, look up resource metadata and list the customer accounts the signed-in user can access. Resources expose the API discovery document, available metrics and segments, and release notes.

Runs locally over stdio with pipx (pipx run google-ads-mcp). It needs Google credentials (Application Default Credentials or a credentials file), a Google Cloud project with the Google Ads API enabled, and a Google Ads developer token with at least Explorer access for production accounts. An optional OAuth proxy mode serves streamable HTTP.

listing.can

  • Run searches and GAQL queries against Google Ads accounts
  • Get metadata and available fields for a Google Ads resource such as campaign
  • List customer accounts accessible to the authenticated user
  • Read the Google Ads API discovery document, metrics and segments
  • Read the latest Google Ads API release notes
  • Enable or rename tools through a tools_config.yaml file

listing.tools

listing.notools.key

listing.prompts

  • Show clicks, cost and conversions per campaign for the last 30 days

  • What fields can I query on the ad_group resource?

  • Which campaigns had the highest cost per conversion last week?

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio google-ads --env "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>" --env "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>" -- pipx run google-ads-mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. google-ads should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "google-ads-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>",
        "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Needs pipx (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "google-ads-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>",
        "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs pipx (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

VS Code

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the secret the first time and stores it securely:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "google-ads-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "${input:google-ads-developer-token}",
        "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "google-ads-developer-token",
      "description": "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Needs pipx (Python) on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "google-ads-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>",
        "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add google-ads --env "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>" --env "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>" -- pipx run google-ads-mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.google-ads]
command = "pipx"
args = ["run", "google-ads-mcp"]
env = { GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN = "<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>", GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID = "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>" }

Needs pipx (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>" -e "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>" google-ads pipx run google-ads-mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "google-ads-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN>",
        "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs pipx (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/google-ads into my MCP client?

No. Google Ads runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is pipx run google-ads-mcp.

Does Google Ads need an API key?

Yes. It reads GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN and GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID from its environment, and GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is a secret. Put the value in your client's config on your own machine, never in a shared file.

Is Google Ads a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with pipx run google-ads-mcp, which needs pipx (Python).

What can Google Ads do?

You can run searches and GAQL queries against Google Ads accounts, get metadata and available fields for a Google Ads resource such as campaign and list customer accounts accessible to the authenticated user.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Google Ads's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
