Is this safe for my Google Ads account?

Every change is a draft until you explicitly approve it in the dashboard. On the API side, AdKit connects via the official Google Ads API with built-in rate limiting and request validation. Your agent can't accidentally overspend or make malformed API calls.

How is this different from Google's official MCP?

Google's official MCP is read-only. It can pull reports and check campaign status, but it can't create campaigns, change bids, or manage keywords. AdKit gives you full read and write access through a draft safety layer.

What about the open-source Google Ads CLIs on GitHub?

Tools like gaql-cli and google-ads-open-cli are GAQL query wrappers. They can read and write, but they connect directly to your live account with no safety layer. If you're spending real money on Google Ads, you want drafts between your commands and your budget.

What campaign types are supported?

Search, Display, and Performance Max. Full campaign lifecycle including campaigns, ad groups, keywords, responsive search ads, negative keyword lists, and performance data.

Can I manage keywords and bids?

Yes. Add keywords, set match types, manage negative keyword lists, adjust bids, and review search terms. All as drafts first.

Which AI agents work with this?

Any agent that can run shell commands: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI. Also works standalone in any terminal or CI/CD pipeline.

Can I use it in CI/CD?

Yes. The CLI is built for automation. Run it in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any pipeline. Draft-first means even automated deploys get a review step.

Yes! Same product, different interface. MCP for chat-based agents, CLI for terminal workflows. Both create drafts, both use the same safety layer.

Can I pull performance data?

Yes. Campaign, ad group, and keyword level metrics with breakdowns by device, network, search terms, and custom date ranges.

Does it support Performance Max?

Yes. Read and manage Performance Max campaigns, including asset groups and campaign-level settings.

Can I manage Meta Ads too?

Yes. AdKit supports Google Ads and Meta Ads from the same CLI. $29/month for one platform, $49/month for both.

The safe CLI for Google Ads

The only Google Ads CLI with full write access and drafts

Google's official MCP can only read your campaigns. Open-source CLIs go straight to your live account. AdKit gives you full read and write access with a safety net: every change is a draft until you approve it.

"My agent analyzed my account using Adkit, found what to optimize, and drafted all the changes on its own. I only had to click 'Approve'. The first 30 minutes already saved me 8 hours of work."
Max Schmitt
Founder of Cakedesk

The problem

Google Ads Manager wasn't built for speed

Keyword research, bid adjustments, search term cleanup. All buried in endless menus and tabs.

😥 Without CLI:

Navigate 6 tabs deep to add negative keywords
Export to spreadsheets just to analyze search terms
Adjust bids one ad group at a time
...or use an open-source CLI with no safety net and hope for the best

Hours wasted every week in Google Ads Manager

😎 With AdKit CLI:

1. Run a command
One line in your terminal. Your agent or script handles the rest.
2. Review the draft
Everything is a draft first. Preview campaigns, keywords, bids, and creatives.
3. Publish when ready
Nothing touches your live account until you explicitly approve.

One command. Review the draft. Publish.

"If you've ever tried any other MCP, you'll quickly realize that they might give you access to your data, but the moment you start creating campaigns, everything will break. Adkit created something that just works like magic."

The honest truth

"What about Google's official MCP?"

There are two ways to connect your AI agent to Google Ads today. Neither gives you the full picture.

Option 1: Google's official MCP. Built by Google, well-maintained, safe. But it can only read. Pull reports, check campaign status, analyze performance. Ask it to create a campaign, change a bid, or add negative keywords? It can't.

Option 2: Open-source CLIs and MCPs. These can write. Create campaigns, manage keywords, adjust bids. But they connect your agent directly to Google's API with no safety layer. No drafts. No validation.

One bad prompt and your bids, budgets, and campaigns change instantly. No undo.

Your Google Ads account isn't disposable. It's years of conversion data, trained bidding algorithms, and Quality Score history. You probably want something between your agent and all of that.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH OPEN-SOURCE CLIs:

Commands execute directly on your live Google Ads account

Wrong bid goes live instantly. No undo

Bulk keyword changes can wreck ad group targeting

No review step between "run command" and "money spent"

So what's different about AdKit?

Same write power. With a safety net.

Your CLI commands create drafts in AdKit. You preview everything in the dashboard: campaigns, keywords, bids, creatives. Then publish when ready. Your live account stays untouched until you explicitly approve.

AdKit connects via the official Google Ads API. Built-in error handling, request validation, and rate limiting. Full write access, draft-first.

"Other tools I found were just small proxies for ad platform APIs. One bad call and you could mess up a live campaign. What I like about AdKit is that everything goes through a draft first. I review before anything goes live. That "buffer" between your agent and Meta is what makes it safe to use."

Who built this?

Built by someone who actually runs ads

Hi there 👋 I'm Nico, the founder of AdKit 😄

Before building startups, I was a media buyer. I managed over $1,000,000 in Ads, sold two startups grown with ads, and helped 1,000+ makers learn Meta Ads through my online guides.

I love ads but... it involves a lot of repetitive, boring work 😩 And I hated every second of it. So I built AdKit to fix that.

To let me and other marketers focus on the fun parts: the strategy, the thinking, the creativity. And not have to waste my time clicking around in buggy interfaces.

It's the app I always dreamed of, and I hope you'll like it too 😀

— Nico, Founder of AdKit

Common concerns

You're probably wondering...

😰

"What if my agent breaks something?"

Every change is a draft by default. Your CLI commands create campaigns, keywords, and ads in AdKit's dashboard. Nothing touches your Google Ads account until you approve it.

🤔

"Google already has an MCP. Why would I use AdKit?"

Google's official MCP can only read. It pulls reports and checks campaign status, but it can't create campaigns, change bids, or add keywords. AdKit gives you full write access with a draft safety layer.

🔌

"Can I still use Google's official MCP?"

Yes. They solve different problems. Use Google's MCP for read-only reporting, AdKit's CLI for creating and managing campaigns with safety. Or use AdKit for everything.

🔧

"Do I need a Google Ads developer token?"

No. AdKit handles auth through OAuth. One command to connect your Google Ads account, no developer token setup needed.

Intelligence

Built-in ad strategy.
10 years of playbooks included.

AdKit comes with a free Google Ads Skill for your agents, based on 10 years of real-world ad buying. Your agent knows how to structure campaigns, write ad copy, manage keyword match types, and optimize bids without you spelling it out.

Knows keyword match types and when to use each

Structures campaigns with proper ad group hierarchy

Writes responsive search ads with effective headline/description combos

Manages negative keyword lists to reduce wasted spend

Understands bid strategies and budget allocation

Your time back

Never open Google Ads Manager again.

30 minutes per bid adjustment. Longer for search term reviews. Your Agent + AdKit Google CLI handles it in seconds.

45m

Campaign setup

2-3x per month. Keywords, bids, ad copy, targeting. One command instead of 20 tabs.

Search term review

Weekly. Find irrelevant queries, add negatives, protect your budget. Automated.

30m

Bid & budget optimization

10h+

Back every month

$29/mo for 10+ hours back. Not a hard trade.

"Meta's Business Manager is painfully slow. Go back to campaign, go back to ad set, duplicate, etc, it take hours. So much time burned. With AdKit I just tell Claude what I want and it handles the rest. What used to be 30 minutes takes seconds now"
Nevo David
Founder of Postiz

What running Google Ads from your terminal looks like

Pick a prompt. See exactly what your agent would do.

AdKit · Your agent

Launch a Google Search campaign for my project management SaaS. $3K/mo, ICP is engineering managers at 50–500 person teams.

Mining real query language from customers and competitors. Keyword Planner is too noisy for discovery. Structuring campaigns by intent, not features.

adkit_library → 284 candidate phrases

adkit_manage → transactional: 38 · commercial: 52 · informational: 194

284 candidates from competitor paid terms, G2 review titles, and autosuggest. Only the 90 transactional + commercial go paid. The 194 informational queries are an SEO job. 4 campaigns by intent, with the budget split from the B2B playbook: - Brand · 10% · $300/mo · bid defensively even where you rank organically - Competitor · 20% · $600 · Linear / Asana / Monday alternatives - Solution · 50% · $1,500 · "sprint planning software", "engineering PM tool" - Problem · 20% · $600 · "track engineering work across squads" $3K/mo is under the $10K threshold → Exact + Phrase only. Broad match needs 30+ conv/mo to optimize.

Draft it.

adkit_manage → 4 campaigns · 11 ad groups · 62 keywords (≤15/group)

adkit_manage → 11 RSAs · 3 H1s (pinned P1) · 4 H2s · 3 H3s · 2 descriptions each

adkit_manage → 2 shared lists attached

Drafted: - 4 campaigns split by intent · Target CPA bidding - 11 ad groups · one JTBD = one ad = one landing page - 11 RSAs · H1 keyword-match (pinned P1) · H2 benefit + B2B qualifier ("for engineering teams") · H3 proof (SOC 2, integrations) - ACAs disabled so Google won't silently rewrite copy from your landing page - Global Exclusions + Non-Commercial negative lists attached All paused, in your dashboard. Review before publishing.
