Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Google Ads every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add google-ads -- npx -y mcp-google-ads
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-google-ads"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID (OAuth client ID), GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET (OAuth client secret), GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN (OAuth refresh token), GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN (Google Ads API developer token). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Google Ads — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Google Ads?
Google Ads runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-google-ads was installed 298 times last week.
How do I connect Google Ads?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-google-ads straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Google Ads?
The npm package mcp-google-ads was installed 298 times in the last week. Week over week that is +49%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Google Ads open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
