README

google-ads-mcp-unofficial

Unofficial Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents read, analyze, and (gated) act on a Google Ads account — pause keywords, set bids, adjust budgets — without leaving your stack.

Unofficial. Not affiliated with Google. This is a local-first MCP server that speaks the Google Ads REST API directly. It does NOT include automated financial-account changes beyond what the Google Ads API allows. Always review proposed changes before enabling GOOGLE_ADS_ALLOW_MUTATIONS.

Quick start (30 seconds)

npx -y google-ads-mcp-unofficial setup

The setup wizard collects your developer token + OAuth client, writes ~/.google-ads-mcp/config.json (chmod 600), then walks you through the OAuth dance via a local callback at http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback.

Verify:

npx -y google-ads-mcp-unofficial doctor

Then add it to your agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, Codex — see examples below).

What it does

22 tools across 6 categories.

Category	Count	Examples
Meta / diagnostic	5	`google_ads_connection_status`, `google_ads_capabilities`, `google_ads_agent_manifest`, `google_ads_data_inventory`, `google_ads_privacy_audit`
Shared Delx profile	3	`google_ads_profile_get`, `google_ads_profile_update`, `google_ads_onboarding`
Auth	3	`google_ads_get_auth_url`, `google_ads_exchange_code`, `google_ads_revoke_access`
Reads (always safe)	8	`google_ads_list_accounts`, `google_ads_list_campaigns`, `google_ads_get_campaign`, `google_ads_list_ad_groups`, `google_ads_list_keywords`, `google_ads_get_account_performance`, `google_ads_get_campaign_performance`, `google_ads_get_keyword_performance`
Workflow	2	`google_ads_daily_report`, `google_ads_find_waste`
Mutations (gated)	6	`google_ads_pause_keyword`, `google_ads_resume_keyword`, `google_ads_set_keyword_bid_micros`, `google_ads_set_campaign_budget_micros`, `google_ads_pause_campaign`, `google_ads_resume_campaign`

Full tool reference: see AGENTS.md.

Setup wizard

npx -y google-ads-mcp-unofficial setup [--allow-mutations] [--client hermes|claude|cursor|...]

What it does:

Prompts for: developer token, OAuth client id/secret, optional login_customer_id (MCC), redirect URI, privacy mode.
Writes ~/.google-ads-mcp/config.json with chmod 600.
Writes an MCP client config (e.g. merges into claude_desktop_config.json on macOS; writes a Hermes block and skill file for --client hermes).
Runs the OAuth dance (unless --no-auth) by opening Google's consent screen and listening on 127.0.0.1:3000.

Mutations are off by default. --allow-mutations enables write tools. ASK THE USER before turning this on — it lets agents change campaigns, bids, budgets, and pause/resume keywords.

Auth model

This MCP requires two credentials:

Google Ads Developer Token — from your MCC (Manager) account at https://ads.google.com/aw/apicenter. New tokens start in "Test account access" mode and need approval for production traffic.
Google OAuth 2.0 Client — a "Desktop" or "Web" client created in Google Cloud Console. The single OAuth scope used is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords.
