Google Ads MCP Server
The Google Ads MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Gemini, to interact directly with the Google Ads API.

Getting Started
Follow these instructions to configure and run the Google Ads MCP Server.
1. Configure Python Environment
For Direct Use
This project needs Python 3.12 with pipx or uv.
For Development
This project uses uv for dependency management.
Install uv and then run the following command to install the required Python packages:
uv pip sync
2. Configure Google Ads credentials
This tool requires you to have a google-ads.yaml file with your Google Ads API credentials. By default, the application will look for this file in your home directory.
If you don't have one, you can generate it by running the following example from the google-ads-python library:
authentication example
Make sure your google-ads.yaml file contains the following keys:
client_idclient_secretrefresh_tokendeveloper_tokenlogin_customer_id(optional, but recommended)
3. Launch MCP Server
For Direct Use with Gemini CLI
Update your Gemini configuration to include the google-ads-mcp server. The following is an example of a local MCP server configuration:
{
// Other configs...
mcpServers: {
GoogleAds: {
command: "pipx",
args: [
"run",
"--spec",
"git+https://github.com/google-marketing-solutions/google_ads_mcp.git",
"run-mcp-server",
],
env: {
GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS: "PATH_TO_YAML",
},
timeout: 30000,
trust: false,
},
},
}
Once the server is running, you can interact with it using the Gemini CLI. Type /mcp in Gemini to see the Google Ads API server listed in the results.
For Local Development with Gemini CLI
Update your Gemini configuration to include the google-ads-mcp server. [DIRECTORY] will be the absolute path to the project. The following is an example of a local MCP server configuration:
{
// Other configs...
mcpServers: {
GoogleAds: {
command: "uv",
args: ["run", "--directory", "[DIRECTORY]", "-m", "ads_mcp.server"],
cwd: "[DIRECTORY]",
timeout: 30000,
trust: false,
},
},
}
Once the server is running, you can interact with it using the Gemini CLI. Type /mcp in Gemini to see the Google Ads API server listed in the results.
You can then ask questions like:
- "list all campaigns"
- "show me metrics for campaign
[CAMPAIGN_ID]" - "get all ad groups"
Direct Launch
To start the server directly, in the project path, run the following command:
uv run -m ads_mcp.server
The server will start and be ready to accept requests.
Fork Notes (Contractor Scale)
This repository is a fork of the original
google-ads-mcp
project. It keeps the same core functionality while adding a few
deployment- and client-specific enhancements for use at Contractor Scale and
for integration with TypingMind and other MCP clients.
Additional Features in This Fork
-
SSE transport as default The server now defaults to the
ssetransport, configurable via theMCP_TRANSPORTenvironment variable. This is intended to work well with MCP clients that expect an SSE endpoint, including TypingMind. -
Custom
/ssePOST handler for MCP clients A custom POST route is added at/sseto improve compatibility with MCP clients that sendPOSTrequests (rather thanGET) when establishing an SSE connection. The handler:- Accepts JSON-RPC
initializerequests - Returns the initialize response as an SSE
event: messagewith the JSON-RPC payload - Falls back to returning an endpoint URL for non-initialize requests
- Accepts JSON-RPC
-
CORS and preflight support The
/sseendpoint includes CORS headers and anOPTIONShandler so that browser-based MCP clients (such as TypingMind) can connect from a different origin. -
Render-friendly deployment This fork adds:
render.yaml– example Render web service configurationrequirements.txt– dependency list for platforms that expect itRENDER_DEPLOYMENT.md– step‑by‑step deployment guideCHANGELOG.md– records of fork-specific changes and how to revert them
-
Cloud credentials from environment variables In addition to reading
google-ads.yamlfrom disk, the server can now create that file at startup from aGOOGLE_ADS_YAMLenvironment variable, which is convenient for cloud providers that store secrets as env vars. -
Non-blocking initialization Google Ads credential checks and view generation now run in a background thread so the server can bind to its port quickly on platforms like Render that actively scan for open ports during deploys.
These changes are maintained with the goal of staying close to the upstream project so that future updates can be merged more easily.
