Updated 12 October 2026. Every server checked 12 October 2026.

A Google Ads MCP server is a connector that lets an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini read your Google Ads account, and sometimes change it, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Google released its own server in October 2025, and by October 2026 there are dozens of hosted and open-source options. We checked 26 and ranked 10.

What changed in 2026

Three things matter more this year than any single product launch.

Developer tokens are gone

Older Google Ads API setup guides start with applying for a developer token. Google’s developer token page (last updated 7 October 2026) now says: “Developer tokens were sunset on September 9, 2026.” Sending one is “optional and ignored by the API servers”, and Google says it will reject them in a future major API version. Instead, “your API access levels are determined by the Google Cloud project you used to generate your OAuth credentials.” If a setup guide tells you to apply for a developer token, it’s out of date.

Google’s ads policy names MCP servers

Google’s Google Ads API policy defines a programmatic proxy as “a third-party hosted interface, secondary Application Programming Interface (API), wrapper service, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, proxy endpoint, or any similar service that solely replicates, wraps, or re-exposes” Google Ads programmatic capabilities “as an intermediate layer”. The policy page also says it doesn’t restrict “open-source tools where the end-users download the software” and connect “using their own access credentials”. Google’s Ads Developer Blog (31 August 2026) adds that “integrations now need to connect directly to Google Ads services using their own dedicated Google Cloud project.” Google gives no effective date for any of this.

If you use a hosted server, ask the vendor how it fits this policy before you connect a client account.

Google’s server is still read-only

Google’s documentation is plain about it: “This implementation is strictly read-only. It cannot modify bids, pause campaigns, or create new assets.” Every server in this list that can make changes is built by a third party.

How we evaluated

ClickGuardian connects to the Google Ads API every day to manage IP exclusions for customers. We don’t sell an MCP server, so nothing below competes with a product of ours. Each server was judged on six criteria:

  1. Google Ads coverage: documented on the vendor’s own site, docs or repo.
  2. What it can change: read-only, or which changes it can make.
  3. Safety on changes: does it hold changes for your approval before anything goes live?
  4. Access: do you connect with your own Google credentials, or does the vendor hold the connection?
  5. Pricing: published, with limits.
  6. Maintenance: open-source repos need a human commit in the last 90 days; hosted products need dated docs, a changelog or pricing from the last 90 days.

To be ranked, a server needs at least one documented Google Ads capability, a published price or a free option, and signs of maintenance in the last 90 days. We capped the list at ten; the others we looked at are listed below it.

The 10 best Google Ads MCP servers

1. Google Ads MCP server (Google)

Website: github.com/googleads/google-ads-mcp (Google’s documentation)

Google’s own server, first released on 7 October 2025 according to the Google Ads Developer Blog. It gives your AI assistant read access to your account through the Google Ads API and nothing more.

Best for: anyone who wants AI answers from their Google Ads data with no third party in between.

Pricing: free. Open source under the Apache 2.0 licence.

What it can read and change: three tools, all read-only: list_accessible_customers, search (runs Google Ads Query Language queries against any account you can access) and get_resource_metadata. In version 0.0.5 your AI client shows them with a prefix, such as search_search. It can’t change anything.

Where it runs and how you connect: on your own computer, or self-hosted on Google Cloud Run or similar. You connect with your own Google Cloud project and OAuth sign-in. No developer token needed since 9 September 2026.

Works with: the README names Antigravity, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. ChatGPT isn’t named.

Maturity: version 0.0.5, released on 9 October 2026, which is also the date of the last commit. Its GitHub Releases page lists three versions, all published since 10 September 2026, and it has about 1,030 stars.

Pros:

  • Official and free
  • Read-only, so it can’t break anything
  • Your data goes only between Google and your AI client
  • You download it and connect with your own credentials, the setup described in Google’s open-source carve-out

Cons:

  • Setup needs a Google Cloud project
  • Read-only, so the AI can suggest changes but you make them
  • To use it from claude.ai or ChatGPT on the web, you have to host it yourself
  • The 0.0.x version number says it is still early

Checked 12 October 2026.

2. Markifact

Website: markifact.com (MCP page)

A hosted marketing MCP that treats every change as something you approve first, and the only hosted server we found with a dedicated IP exclusion tool.

Best for: teams who want every change held for approval, EU hosting, and Microsoft Advertising as well as Google.

Pricing: Pro from $79 a month (2,500 credits); Team from $249 a month for 10 seats, rising to $999 for 50; Managed is custom. Annual billing gives 2 months free. Usage is credit-based, and Markifact says you can “Start free with 200 one-time credits at signup”.

What it can read and change: reads and writes across Google Ads. Markifact’s GitHub README says “Every write is an approval-gated operation”, and “nothing runs until you confirm”. Its tool list includes gads_manage_ip_exclusions, which can “Exclude or remove IP addresses at the Google Ads account level”, marked “Write, approval required”. That tool is in the README, the changelog (“Manage IP Exclusions”, 20 February 2026) and Markifact’s Google Ads MCP page, but not on its main MCP page.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted in the EU. Markifact says your data is “stored and processed in the European Union (EU) using Google Cloud Platform and Vercel”. You connect with OAuth: “No API keys to manage.”

Works with: “Claude, ChatGPT, Manus, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI clients.”

Other platforms: 47 integrations across five categories on its integrations page (vendor claim), including Meta, Microsoft Advertising and Google Analytics. Microsoft changes are “approval-based”.

Pros:

  • Approval on every write
  • The only hosted server we found with a dedicated IP exclusion tool
  • EU hosting
  • Microsoft Advertising changes, with approval

Cons:

  • Credit-based, so heavy use costs more
  • Markifact holds the Google connection
  • Team pricing climbs with seats, to $999 a month for 50

Checked 12 October 2026.

3. Optmyzr MCP

Website: optmyzr.com (Optmyzr MCP page)

An MCP layer on top of Optmyzr, the established PPC management platform. It is only useful if you pay for Optmyzr, but then it comes at no extra cost.

Best for: agencies and in-house teams already paying for Optmyzr.

Pricing: “Available on all paid Optmyzr plans”. Optmyzr prices on an ad spend slider: Essentials starts at $299 a month on monthly billing ($209 billed annually) for up to $25,000 of monthly ad spend, and the comparison table lists MCP access on every plan. Free 14-day trial, no card needed.

What it can read and change: reads account, campaign, ad group, ad, keyword and search term data, change history, recommendations and alerts. It creates positive and negative keywords, staged in a preview card where “You can review, edit, or remove any row before you click Apply.” It also drafts Rule Engine strategies and sets alerts. Changes are staged as change requests, checked against your account’s guardrails, and applied by someone on your team. Optmyzr’s pages disagree on how far the MCP goes: its MCP page says “Broader direct campaign changes through the MCP (beyond keyword creation) are not yet supported”, while its Change Requests guide says an assistant connected through the MCP can raise the same change requests as its other tools, which cover status, budgets and bids.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted by Optmyzr, using the Google Ads connection you already have in Optmyzr.

Works with: Claude Desktop and Claude Code (Claude has a one-click connector), ChatGPT with Developer Mode, Microsoft Copilot through Copilot Studio, Langdock, Cursor and other MCP clients.

Other platforms: Microsoft Advertising, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn and Yahoo.

G2: 4.7 from 141 reviews.

Pros:

  • Established PPC vendor
  • Every change reviewed before it’s applied
  • Keyword changes work on Microsoft Advertising too

Cons:

  • Only useful if you pay for Optmyzr
  • Its own pages disagree on which changes the MCP can make, so confirm before you rely on it

Checked 12 October 2026.

4. GoMarble

Website: gomarble.ai (MCP page)

A hosted marketing AI with a large connector library and an approval step on its write plans.

Best for: teams who want read and write access across Google and other platforms, with an approval step.

Pricing: a free tier (1 ad account per connector, 1 seat, 1 read-only agent, up to $50,000 of monthly ad spend, 100 one-time credits, no card). Copilot $139 a month (read-only, up to $50,000 of ad spend, 5 ad accounts, 10 connectors). Operator $399 a month (read and write “with your approval”, up to $500,000, 15 ad accounts, 80+ connectors). Scale $799 a month (up to $1.5 million). Enterprise is custom. 7-day trial. Annual billing saves about 15%.

What it can read and change: read-only on Copilot; changes with your approval on Operator and up.

Open-source option: GoMarble also publishes a separate open-source Google Ads MCP server (MIT licence, about 145 stars) that runs on your computer with your own credentials. Its three tools list accounts, run queries and use Keyword Planner; none of them write. Treat it as a starting point for developers rather than a working route in: its README still lists a developer token as required, and its code still calls version 19 of the Google Ads API, which Google has retired.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted by GoMarble, which holds the connection.

Works with: “Bring GoMarble into Claude, ChatGPT, and more.”

Pros:

  • Approval before changes on the paid write plans
  • A free tier with no card
  • Many platforms

Cons:

  • Write access starts at $399 a month
  • Credit-based usage
  • The pricing FAQ mentions plan names that aren’t in the price table, so confirm plan names with GoMarble

Checked 12 October 2026.

5. Pipeboard

Website: pipeboard.co (Google Ads MCP guide)

A low-cost hosted MCP covering Meta, Google and several other ad platforms.

Best for: advertisers running Google and Meta who want one low-cost tool.

Pricing: Free (30 AI executions a week, 2 ad account slots); Pro $29.90 a month (3 slots); Premium $99 (10 slots); Agency $199 (25 slots); extra slots $10 a month each. A custom Secure Enterprise tier adds SSO. 7-day free trial on monthly Pro and Premium; Agency has a 7-day money-back guarantee instead, and annual plans a 30-day one. Annual billing saves 17%.

What it can read and change: “Create, edit & pause campaigns; manage keywords and bids”. Pipeboard says “Campaigns are created in PAUSED status by default” so you can review them before they go live.

Where it runs and how you connect: a hosted Google Ads endpoint, so Pipeboard holds the connection. Its pricing page carries a badge saying “Approved for Standard (production) access” for the Google Ads API (vendor claim).

Works with: “Works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Python, n8n, and any MCP client” (ChatGPT through developer mode).

Other platforms: the Google guide lists Meta, TikTok, Snap and Reddit alongside Google. Microsoft Advertising has a separate guide, which says the server “reads and writes” but whose FAQ still calls it “read-focused”.

Pros:

  • Low entry price, with a free plan
  • New campaigns start paused
  • Meta and Google in one place

Cons:

  • The pricing page is written around Meta and doesn’t say which plans include Google Ads
  • Performance Max isn’t mentioned in the Google guide

Checked 12 October 2026.

6. AdKit

Website: adkit.so (Google Ads MCP page)

A hosted ads MCP built around drafts: every change is saved as a draft before anything goes live.

Best for: the cheapest option that keeps every change as a draft until you approve it.

Pricing: $29 a month (1 project, one ad account per platform) or $49 a month (unlimited projects and ad accounts), or $228 and $408 a year on yearly billing. 7-day trial, with “No card charged until the trial ends”. No free plan.

What it can read and change: builds and edits Search, Shopping, Display and Performance Max campaigns. “Every change is a draft by default.” “Nothing touches your live account until you explicitly approve.” Who approves depends on the access level. New projects start on Draft + Publish, where the agent publishes a draft when you tell it to in chat; AdKit’s own docs warn that “a misread request can go live with real spend behind it.” Switch to Draft only if you want to push every change live yourself.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted, connecting over MCP with “no API keys”.

Works with: Claude (in Claude’s connector directory, on a paid Claude plan) and ChatGPT (an approved app in the ChatGPT app directory), plus Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, n8n and others.

Other platforms: Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, with Microsoft Advertising, Reddit, X and ChatGPT Ads in beta.

Pros:

  • Draft-first on every change, with a Draft only setting
  • Low price

Cons:

  • No free plan
  • AdKit holds the Google connection
  • The default access level lets the agent publish when you tell it to in chat, so change it to Draft only if you want to review in the dashboard

Checked 12 October 2026.

7. Windsor.ai

Website: windsor.ai (Google Ads MCP page)

A data connector platform that pipes marketing data into reports, now with an MCP that can also act on your account.

Best for: teams who already pull reporting from many sources and want bulk actions too.

Pricing: a forever-free tier (1 data source) after a 30-day trial. Paid plans run from $19 to $499 a month on annual billing ($23 to $598 billed monthly). Windsor says its MCP works “with every Windsor.ai plan, even during a free trial”. Windsor notes that Claude Desktop and ChatGPT only let you add external connectors on their paid plans.

What it can read and change: 34 Google Ads actions, including pausing and enabling, budgets, target CPA and target ROAS, keywords and negative keywords, Customer Match lists and creating Search or Display campaigns. Windsor says “The campaign is created paused by default so it does not start serving immediately.” Windsor’s docs don’t describe a confirmation step before changes go live. They note that deleting a Customer Match list “Cannot be undone” and that updating an ad group has “no built-in undo”.

Works with: “Claude (Web, Desktop, and Code), ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot support write actions today.”

Other platforms: 350+ sources (vendor claim).

Pros:

  • Huge source list
  • Broad set of actions
  • Cheap entry

Cons:

  • Windsor’s docs don’t describe a confirmation step before changes go live
  • Some changes have no built-in undo

Checked 12 October 2026.

8. Adspirer

Website: adspirer.com (Google Ads docs)

A hosted ads MCP with a free plan that can build and manage campaigns, not just report on them.

Best for: advertisers who want a free plan that can build and manage campaigns.

Pricing: Free Forever (15 tasks a month, no card). Plus is $49 a month (150 tasks), Pro $99 (600 tasks) and Max $199 (3,000 tasks) on monthly billing, or $40, $83 and $167 a month billed annually. Agency and enterprise plans are custom.

What it can read and change: creates Search, Performance Max, Shopping, App, Demand Gen, Display and YouTube campaigns, and says “All campaigns start paused”. Pauses, resumes and removes campaigns; changes budgets, bids and status; manages keywords, negatives and placement exclusions (websites, YouTube channels, videos and apps). No IP exclusions.

Safety: Adspirer’s docs say its write tools “Require user confirmation”, and that enabling a campaign “can start real spend”, so it “asks you to confirm before it does”. Remove and delete tools won’t run unless the confirmation is passed explicitly.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted, with OAuth 2.1 sign-in, so Adspirer holds the connection.

Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Manus, Perplexity and others. Adspirer says its ChatGPT app is behind its main server and lacks some tools, including Amazon Ads and ChatGPT Ads.

Other platforms: Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Amazon and ChatGPT Ads, with all six platforms on every plan.

Pros:

  • A genuine free plan
  • Asks you to confirm changes, and new campaigns start paused
  • Hard confirmation on anything that deletes

Cons:

  • Task-based limits
  • The ChatGPT app has fewer tools than the main server

Checked 12 October 2026.

9. Adzviser

Website: adzviser.com (MCP page)

A reporting connector that brings ad data into your AI assistant and deliberately can’t touch your campaigns.

Best for: agencies that want read-only reporting in their AI assistant with little setup.

Pricing: Starter is $59.99 a month on monthly billing (2 sources) or $48.99 a month billed yearly (3 sources); Growth is $164.99 a month, or $148.99 billed yearly. 14-day trial for $0.99.

What it can read and change: reads only. Adzviser calls it “one hosted, read-only reporting server”: “No campaign edits, write-backs”.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted, connecting with OAuth.

Works with: “Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenClaw, n8n, and other compatible clients”.

Other platforms: “50+ reporting sources” on its MCP page (vendor claim; other pages on its site say 40+ and 45+).

Pros:

  • Read-only by design
  • Simple setup

Cons:

  • Reporting only

Checked 12 October 2026.

10. Composio

Website: composio.dev (Google Ads toolkit)

A developer platform for connecting AI agents to apps, with a hosted Google Ads toolkit.

Best for: developers building their own AI agent on Google Ads.

Pricing: Hobby is free (100,000 tool calls a month, up to 20,000 of them through Composio-managed sign-in, which Google Ads uses). Pro is $29 a month including $29 of usage credit, then pay per call.

What it can read and change: Composio’s toolkit page shows 9 Google Ads tools, but its docs list 36. They cover campaigns, budgets, bidding strategies, ad groups, keywords and negatives, ads, assets, customer lists, conversion actions and Google Ads Query Language searches, plus campaign criteria including IP exclusions. No approval step is documented, and Composio notes that removing a campaign is “irreversible”.

Where it runs and how you connect: hosted, with Composio-managed OAuth. You can bring your own OAuth app if you prefer.

Works with: “Hosted Google Ads MCP for Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.”

Other platforms: 1,500+ toolkits (vendor claim).

Pros:

  • Generous free tier
  • Full control for builders

Cons:

  • Built for developers, not PPC managers
  • No approval step or other PPC-specific guardrails documented

Checked 12 October 2026.

Other servers we looked at

Met our criteria but didn’t make the ten:

  • Synter: can add negative keywords and launch campaigns. Writes it holds need approval, but by default pausing and budget, bid and keyword changes run straight away and are logged. Its own pages give platform counts of 16 and 27.
  • Ryze AI: hosted, connects with Google sign-in. Its six write tools, including raw API tools, rely on your AI client’s per-tool approval setting (deletes need an item-by-item approved list), rather than a documented set of named Google Ads actions.
  • Improvado: a data platform whose Google Ads MCP claims read and write access.
  • CData Connect AI: its Google Ads page describes approved write operations, but CData’s own Google Ads driver documentation says “This driver is read-only”.
  • Flyweel: a free ad MCP that is read-only on your ad platforms (“It cannot change them”), though its card tools can freeze cards and set card budgets. The company now focuses on ad spend cards and finance.

Didn’t meet our criteria:

  • cohnen/mcp-google-ads: a popular open-source server (about 710 GitHub stars), but there have been no commits since 16 October 2025, every request fails unless a developer token is set, which Google no longer uses, and its code calls version 19 of the Google Ads API, which Google has retired.
  • johnoconnor0/google-ads-mcp: open source with broad write tools, including campaign IP exclusions. No human commits since 4 May 2026, no confirmation step before changes, about 17 stars, and the README describes 10 current tools while the code registers 142.
  • Supermetrics: its MCP docs say it can “Create or modify campaigns” and that “New campaigns start in a paused state”, but the entry price is unclear. The product page says MCP comes “with any subscription”, while the docs say it needs “access to the Supermetrics API”, which the pricing page lists on Enterprise only.
  • Zapier MCP: only a handful of Google Ads actions (set campaign status, customer lists, offline conversions, create report and a beta raw API request) plus campaign and customer list lookups.
  • Google Ads API Developer Assistant: a plugin for Claude Code and Google Antigravity, published on Google’s googleads GitHub, that writes code and runs read-only API calls. It describes itself as “not an official Google product”. Useful, but not an MCP server.

Read-only and reporting connectors with an MCP: Adalysis, the PPC management tool, launched a read-only Google Ads MCP in September 2026. Coupler.io, Dataslayer, Porter Metrics, Two Minute Reports and Funnel all have reporting MCPs that include Google Ads data. Good if you already use them. Not ranked separately.

Can a Google Ads MCP server block click fraud?

Partly. Three servers we found can add IP exclusions: Markifact (hosted, account level, approval required), Composio (hosted, campaign level, through its general campaign criteria tool, no approval step documented) and johnoconnor0’s open-source server (campaign level, no confirmation step). Google’s own server can read your existing exclusions but can’t add any.

The catch is that an MCP server can only exclude an IP address you give it. Google Ads’ click report (click_view in the API) includes the click ID, keyword, ad and location, but not the visitor’s IP address, so no MCP server can tell you which IP addresses are clicking your ads.

Google allows “up to 500 IP addresses per campaign” (Google Ads Help), and IP exclusions are now also supported at account level, so exclusions need managing, not just adding.

ClickGuardian sees the IP address behind every paid click through a tag on your landing pages, scores it, and adds exclusions on Google Ads automatically, with Microsoft Advertising covered from the Growth plan through guided exclusions. See how our click fraud protection works: there’s a 7-day free trial, and you add a card at sign-up but aren’t charged during the trial.

Is there a Microsoft Advertising MCP?

Yes, but Microsoft’s own server is read-only. Microsoft said on 17 June 2026 that its MCP server was “expanding to open pilot with read-only access”, naming Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT as clients, and on 31 August 2026 that “The server is now available with read-only access through open flight”.

Third-party servers in our list that cover Microsoft Advertising include:

  • Markifact: Microsoft changes are “approval-based”.
  • Windsor.ai: 5 Microsoft actions: pause and enable campaigns and ad groups, and set a campaign budget.
  • Optmyzr: reads Microsoft data, and its Change Requests guide lists keyword and negative keyword creation on Microsoft as well as Google.
  • AdKit: lists Microsoft Advertising, marked beta.
  • Pipeboard: its Microsoft page says the server “reads and writes” and lists tools that create campaigns and add keywords, but its FAQ still calls it “read-focused”, so check with Pipeboard what it can change.

ClickGuardian covers Microsoft Advertising from the Growth plan with guided exclusions.

Before you give an AI write access to Google Ads

  1. Start read-only. Ask questions for a week before you let it change anything.
  2. Use a server that holds changes for your approval.
  3. Connect one account, not your whole manager account.
  4. Test on a low-spend account first.
  5. Check Change history in Google Ads after every session.
  6. For hosted servers, ask where your data is stored and how the vendor fits Google’s programmatic proxy policy.

How to pick

  • Free, safest, technical: Google Ads MCP server.
  • Every change approved, plus IP exclusions and Microsoft: Markifact.
  • Already on Optmyzr: Optmyzr MCP.
  • Changes with approval across many platforms: GoMarble (Operator).
  • Low cost, with changes held as drafts or created paused: AdKit or Pipeboard.
  • Free plan that builds campaigns: Adspirer.
  • Reporting only: Adzviser.
  • Building your own agent: Composio, or self-host Google’s server.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Google Ads MCP server?

Yes. Google released an open-source, read-only Google Ads MCP server in October 2025. It’s free on GitHub.

Is the Google Ads MCP server free?

Yes. Google’s server is free and open source. You need a Google Cloud project to run it.

Do I need a Google Ads developer token?

No. Google sunset developer tokens on 9 September 2026. Your API access level now comes from the Google Cloud project you use for your OAuth credentials.

Can an MCP server make changes to my Google Ads account?

Google’s can’t: it is read-only. Several third-party servers can, and the safer ones hold every change for your approval before it goes live.

Does Google allow third-party MCP servers?

Google’s ads policy includes MCP servers in its definition of a programmatic proxy, and carves out open-source tools that you download and run with your own credentials. Ask any hosted vendor how it complies before you connect an account.

Which Google Ads MCP works with ChatGPT?

All nine third-party servers in our top ten say they work with ChatGPT. Google’s own server names Antigravity, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code, not ChatGPT, and you have to host it yourself to reach ChatGPT on the web.

Can a Google Ads MCP block click fraud?

It can add an IP exclusion if you give it the IP address (Markifact can, with your approval). It can’t find the IP addresses to exclude, because Google Ads doesn’t report the IP address behind a click.

How often is this list checked?

We re-check every server, price and feature regularly and show the date of the last check at the top of the page and on each entry. This category changes monthly, so confirm on the vendor’s site before you buy.


ClickGuardian sells click fraud protection for Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising. We don’t sell an MCP server and have no commercial relationship with any server on this list. Every server was checked on 12 October 2026. If you’re comparing click fraud tools rather than MCP servers, see our ranking of the best click fraud protection software.
