README

Google Ads MCP

Read-only MCP server for the Google Ads API. Eleven tools cover discovery, GAQL reporting, resource schema, recommendations, keyword planning and forecasts, and change history for any account reachable under a manager account (MCC). We run this server in production for every ads client. Read-only is enforced at three layers: no mutate or apply service imports, an SDK method allowlist, and a GAQL-starts-with-SELECT guard.

Install

Claude Code:

claude mcp add google-ads \
  -e GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=your-token \
  -e GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -e GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN=your-refresh-token \
  -e GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID=1234567890 \
  -- uvx scalably-google-ads-mcp

Codex:

codex mcp add google-ads \
  --env GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=your-token \
  --env GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  --env GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  --env GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN=your-refresh-token \
  --env GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID=1234567890 \
  -- uvx scalably-google-ads-mcp

Claude Desktop: download google-ads-mcp.mcpb from the latest GitHub release and open it.

Setup

This is the heaviest setup in the gallery: expect up to two days waiting on developer token approval. One set of credentials, rooted at a manager account (MCC), can read any customer account linked under it, so there is no per-client configuration beyond linking an account to the MCC.

Google Ads developer token. Sign in at ads.google.com under your manager account, go to Tools and Settings, API Center, and apply for a developer token. A new token starts on the Explorer access level, which Google grants after a review that can take a few days; discovery, query and recommendation tools work there. Basic access (a separate application) is needed for higher quotas and may be needed for the keyword-planning tools.
Google Cloud OAuth client. In a Google Cloud project, enable the Google Ads API, then create an OAuth client ID of type Desktop app under APIs and Services, Credentials. Note the client ID and client secret, and add the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords scope to the OAuth consent screen.
Refresh token. Generate a refresh token once, as an admin user of the manager account, using Google's oauth2l tool or the generate_user_credentials.py example shipped with the google-ads Python library. Save the refresh token; it does not expire from normal use.
Login customer ID. Use the 10-digit customer ID of the manager account itself (no hyphens) as GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID. Any client account accepts an invite to link under this manager account in its own Google Ads UI, after which google_ads_list_customer_clients sees it.
