Apple Ads MCP

MCP server for the Apple Search Ads API v5.
Connect it to any MCP-compatible AI client and manage your campaigns, keywords, budgets, and reporting through natural language.

Quick Start • Tools • Resources • Prompts • Clients

Ask your AI things like:

"How did my campaigns perform last week?" "Pause the brand campaign and increase the budget on discovery to $500." "What search terms are triggering my ads? Add the best ones as exact-match keywords."

Supports 54 tools, 3 resources, and 6 prompts — campaigns, ad groups, keywords, creatives, budgets, search terms, geo targeting, impression share, and performance reports.

Features at a glance

Feature	Description
Campaign management	Create, update, pause, and delete campaigns and ad groups
Keyword optimization	Add/remove targeting and negative keywords, update bids
Performance reporting	Campaign, ad group, keyword, ad, and geo reports with date presets
Search term analysis	See actual search queries triggering your ads
Creative management	Manage ads, creatives, and product pages
Budget control	Create and manage budget orders, analyze utilization
Impression share	Generate and retrieve impression share reports
Multi-org support	Switch between organizations at runtime

Quick Start

Get your Apple credentials (~10 min, one-time)
Generate your key pair (2 commands)
Add to your MCP client
Start chatting

Setup

Step 1 — Invite an API user

Done by the account admin at searchads.apple.com.

Go to Settings → User Management → Invite User
Enter the email of the person who will use the API
Set the role:
- API Account Manager — full read/write access
- API Account Read Only — view-only access
Send the invitation

The API user must be a different Apple ID from the admin. If you're the admin, use a second Apple ID.

Step 2 — Accept and copy your credentials

Done by the invited user.

Accept the email invitation and sign in to searchads.apple.com
Go to Settings → API tab
Copy and save these three values:
- clientId — starts with SEARCHADS.
- teamId — starts with SEARCHADS.
- keyId — a UUID

Step 3 — Generate your key pair

Open Terminal and run:

openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -noout -out ~/apple-ads-key.pem && \
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in ~/apple-ads-key.pem -out ~/apple-ads-key-pkcs8.pem

Then generate the public key:

openssl ec -in ~/apple-ads-key-pkcs8.pem -pubout -out ~/apple-ads-key-public.pem

This creates:

~/apple-ads-key-pkcs8.pem — private key (keep this safe, used in your config)
~/apple-ads-key-public.pem — public key (upload to Apple next)

Step 4 — Upload public key to Apple

Print your public key:

cat ~/apple-ads-key-publi
