Google Ads MCP

Unofficial. Not affiliated with Google. This is a local-first MCP server that speaks the Google Ads REST API directly. It does NOT include automated financial-account changes beyond what the Google Ads API allows. Always review proposed changes before enabling GOOGLE_ADS_ALLOW_MUTATIONS.

People who work with ads automation, local first and oauth and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
