google-ads-mcp

MCP server for Google Ads — diagnose spend efficiency, impression share, and asset performance from Claude.

22 tools across campaigns, keywords, RSAs, assets, audiences, geo/device splits, impression share, auction insights, and budget pacing — plus a raw GAQL escape hatch. Built for B2B paid search teams and agencies running real diagnosis, not just dashboard-style "list my campaigns" queries.

Why this exists

Most Google Ads MCP servers stop at "list campaigns + basic metrics." This one goes after the questions paid search teams actually ask: which RSA assets are labeled LOW so I can replace them, which keywords burn budget with zero conversions, who am I losing impression share to in auction insights, what's my mobile vs. desktop CPA gap, which campaigns are budget-limited right now. Those are the levers you pull to fix performance — and they're all first-class tools here.

Differentiated from the official googleads/google-ads-mcp: ships RSA asset performance labels, auction insights, impression share analysis, geo/device splits, audience targeting inspection, and budget pacing.

Example prompts

Once installed, ask Claude things like:

"What's my impression share vs competitors this month? Who am I most often losing to?"
"Show all RSA assets with LOW performance labels so I can replace them."
"Which keywords are spending the most with zero conversions in the last 30 days?"
"What's my mobile vs. desktop CPA difference across all campaigns?"
"Are any campaigns budget-limited right now? Show Lost IS (Budget)."
"List my remarketing audiences and tell me which ones are large enough to target in Search."
