Best When
An agent needs to query or analyze Google Ads campaign data — for performance reporting, budget monitoring, or bid optimization insights.
Avoid When
You're using Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or if you need to create/modify ads (this MCP is primarily for data querying).
Use Cases
- • Querying campaign performance metrics from marketing analytics agents
- • Analyzing keyword performance and bid optimization from PPC agents
- • Generating ad performance reports with GAQL from reporting agents
- • Monitoring budget pacing and spend from campaign management agents
- • Identifying underperforming ads for optimization from audit agents
- • Extracting conversion data for attribution analysis from analytics agents
Not For
- • Teams using Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or other ad platforms
- • Content creation for ads (this queries data, doesn't create ad copy)
- • Teams without active Google Ads accounts
Interface
Authentication
Google OAuth 2.0 with Google Ads API access. Requires developer token, client ID/secret, and refresh token. Manager account (MCC) access recommended for multi-account management.
Pricing
Google Ads API is free but requires developer token approval. Test accounts available. Production access requires passing Google's developer token review. Ad spend is separate billing.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Developer token required — apply separately, test token vs production token have different limits
- ⚠ OAuth 2.0 setup complex: developer token + OAuth credentials + refresh token all required
- ⚠ GAQL (Google Ads Query Language) is SQL-like but different — agents need GAQL knowledge
- ⚠ Customer ID (CID) format uses hyphens (123-456-7890) — include in all requests
- ⚠ Manager account (MCC) hierarchy — must specify correct account level for queries
- ⚠ API version updates frequently — v15, v16, etc. — use latest stable version
