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_id
client_secret
refresh_token
developer_token
login_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.
