Google Ads MCP

The Google Ads MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.

Connect Google Ads to the AI you already use. Ask it to audit search terms, check pacing, compare CPA, and prepare changes you can review before anything touches the account.

Google Ads

Secure Google sign-in, encrypted platform tokens, and preview-before-change controls for every write.

What your AI can do once Google Ads is connected.

Designed around the questions you would ask your senior media buyer, not a wall of buttons you would never click.

Account discovery

See every account in one shot.

Pulls your full MCC tree with currencies and timezones, so your AI knows which child customer ID it should be looking at.

Cross-account spend

How much did the whole portfolio spend last week?

One question, every non-MCC child account answered, currency formatted, ready for a weekly note or client update.

Campaign performance

Campaign metrics with the dashboards stripped away.

Spend, CPA, ROAS, conversions, by campaign or ad group, with clean column names and sensible date defaults.

Day-by-day trends

Week-over-week diffs without the spreadsheet.

Daily spend, conversions, CPA, and ROAS broken down so your AI can spot where things shifted.

Search-term audits

The Tuesday-morning query, automated.

Search-term report sorted by cost. Surface waste, propose negatives, and block them through preview.

Keyword research

Keyword Planner inside your chat.

Keyword ideas, historical metrics, and forecasts pulled from the same source as Google's UI.

Custom queries

Deeper account questions when you need them.

For anything outside the standard reports, your AI can dig deeper and return the answer in plain English.

Safe changes

Preview every change before it touches production.

Pause ads, change budgets, add negatives, update bids. Your AI shows the exact change and waits for you to confirm.

Audit trail

Every change recorded for the day a client asks.

User, account, action, and timestamp. Useful for monthly reporting and for the day someone asks what changed.

What you can ask

Prompts that actually run against your account.

The numbers, account IDs, and thresholds are placeholders. The shape of the question is the work. Drop these into Claude or ChatGPT once you've connected, then customize.

Google Ads MCP, frequently asked.

What is a Google Ads MCP server?

A Google Ads MCP server is a hosted endpoint that speaks the Model Context Protocol, so an AI tool like Claude or ChatGPT can read your Google Ads data and run changes against the API. AdPlug is one of the few hosted options that doesn't require running your own server.

Does AdPlug's Google Ads MCP work with Claude?

Yes. AdPlug works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude's connector flow. Connect Google Ads once and Claude can start answering questions about the accounts you choose.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. ChatGPT can connect through AdPlug's secure sign-in flow. You do not need to copy access tokens or run a local server.

Can I use it with Cursor or VS Code?

Yes. Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code with GitHub Copilot can connect to AdPlug, so your AI coding or analysis tool can work with live ad data.

How is this different from Google's official Google Ads MCP?

Google's official MCP is open source. It's great if you have a developer who can spin it up, run a server, and handle the technical setup. AdPlug is the hosted version for marketers who'd rather skip all of that. We also add team support, audit logs, write-mode previews, and tools designed by a working PPC specialist.

Does it support Manager (MCC) accounts?

Yes. Connect once at the MCC level and AdPlug discovers every child account. You can scope queries to a specific customer ID or run cross-account reports across the entire MCC.

Can the AI actually create campaigns or only read?

Both. Read tools are on by default. Write tools are off by default and gate behind a preview-confirm-execute flow, so the AI shows you the exact mutation before it runs.

Connect Google Ads in two clicks.

Run search-term audits, pacing checks, and weekly optimization from the AI you already use. Every change is previewed before it touches the account.
