Works with every MCP client
| Client | Transport | Config |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | stdio | .mcp.json in project root (included) |
| Claude Desktop | stdio | claude_desktop_config.example.json |
| Cursor / Windsurf | stdio | Settings → MCP → python -m ads_mcp.server |
| OpenAI Agents SDK | stdio | MCPServerStdio(command="python", args=["-m", "ads_mcp.server"]) |
| LangChain | stdio | langchain-mcp-adapters |
| Remote / Cloud | HTTP SSE | python -m ads_mcp.server --http |
Quick Start
# 1. Copy and fill credentials
cp .env.example .env
# 2. Validate environment
python scripts/validate.py
# 3a. Run as MCP server (stdio — Claude Desktop/Cursor/Claude Code)
python -m ads_mcp.server
# 3b. Run as MCP server (HTTP — remote agents)
python -m ads_mcp.server --http
# 3c. Run as standalone agent CLI
python scripts/cli.py
python scripts/cli.py --single "Show campaign performance for account 1234567890"
Claude Code
Place .mcp.json in your project root (already included):
{
"mcpServers": {
"google-ads": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "ads_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS": "${GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS}",
"GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID": "${GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID}"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code auto-discovers .mcp.json. CLAUDE.md is written specifically for Claude Code
to orient itself — it reads this first on every session.
Gemini CLI
Add to your project's .gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"google-ads": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "ads_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/google-ads.yaml",
"GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID": "1234567890"
}
}
}
}
For the full Gemini CLI setup with Google Ads slash commands and agent skills, see gemini-cli-googleadsagent.
Remote option — if you deploy the buddy-agent on Cloudflare Workers, you can skip local credentials entirely and connect via SSE:
{
"mcpServers": {
"buddy-google-ads": {
"url": "https://your-buddy-agent.workers.dev/sse"
}
}
}
OpenAI Agents SDK
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio
import os
server = MCPServerStdio(
command="python",
args=["-m", "ads_mcp.server"],
env={
"GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS": os.environ["GOOGLE_ADS_CREDENTIALS"],
"GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID": os.environ.get("GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID", ""),
}
)
