What is a Google Ads MCP?

A Google Ads MCP (Model Context Protocol server) lets Claude talk to your Google Ads account. Google's official MCP is read-only. AdKit adds a draft layer for campaign work, so every change Claude proposes needs your approval before it reaches your live campaigns.

How do I connect Claude to Google Ads?

Install AdKit, add the MCP connector to Claude, and OAuth into your Google account. No API keys to juggle. This covers Claude Code, Claude desktop, and compatible claude.ai setups.

Will running Google Ads with Claude affect my Quality Score?

AdKit holds every Google Ads change as a draft first. Your live keywords, bids, and Quality Score signals stay untouched until you approve a change.

Is there an official Google Ads MCP server?

Yes. Google has an official read-only MCP that can query reports but cannot create or edit campaigns. AdKit is the draft-first Google Ads MCP for marketers who want Claude to prepare changes for approval.

What Google Ads campaign types are supported?

Search, Shopping, Display, and Performance Max. Claude can build, edit, and analyze any of them through AdKit, including broad match cleanup and negative keyword sweeps.

Do I need to know GAQL?

No. Claude translates plain-English questions into the right GAQL query. AdKit runs it and returns the answer.

Can Claude edit a live Google Ads campaign directly?

No. Every edit Claude makes becomes a draft in AdKit first. Nothing publishes to Google until you approve it. The same draft-first pattern covers Meta Ads if you run both.

A 5-minute demo of using Claude to analyze Google Ads campaigns, kill wasted keywords, and publish the changes.

"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."

The problem

Google Ads Manager is wasting your time.

Same Google Ads tasks you do every week. One version has you filtering, sorting, and clicking around Ads Manager. The other has Claude doing it and handing you the result.

😥 Without AdKit:

Filter the search terms report, eyeball it, and paste into a spreadsheet.
Open an ad group, find the keyword, click pause, hope you picked the right one.
Six tabs and twenty settings to launch a single Performance Max campaign.
Raw MCP servers send agent calls straight to the Google Ads API with no AdKit review step.

Hours wasted, budget at risk

😎 With Claude + AdKit:

1. Ask Claude
'Find my worst keywords this week' or 'Build me a new Search campaign'. Plain English.
2. Review the draft
Every change lands in AdKit as a draft. Preview before anything hits Google.
3. Publish when ready
One click sends the approved draft to your Google Ads account.

2 to 3 hours saved per week

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.

"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. And really, Adkit created something that just works like magic."
Flo Pariset
Founder of Notis AI

Who is this for?

Marketers and agencies running Google Ads

🧑‍💼

Founders running Google Ads themselves

You own the growth. You do not want to pay an agency $3k/month for what's basically negative keyword cleanup and keyword mining. Stay in control without learning GAQL.

📈

PPC managers who live in Claude

You already plan your ad copies in Claude, might as well run the campaigns from the same chat!

🎯

Agencies managing multiple accounts

Every client means the same audit, same report, same keyword pruning. Have Claude handle the repeat work so you can charge for strategy.

🛠️

Technical marketers

You'd rather write a prompt than download another search terms CSV. You already automated the rest of your stack, Google Ads is the last thing stuck behind a UI.

The full loop

Your whole Google Ads loop, from Claude.

Spy competitor ads

Track any competitor's Google Ads. See their headlines, descriptions, and landing pages. Get notified when they launch new campaigns.

Mine keywords

Ask Claude to pull keyword ideas, scan your search terms report, or find negative keyword gaps before you waste budget.

Write ad copy

Claude writes Responsive Search Ad headlines and descriptions based on your competitors and landing pages. AdKit structures them into valid Google Ads format.

Launch campaigns

Draft Search, Shopping, or Performance Max campaigns from a single prompt. Review the draft in AdKit, then publish to Google Ads when ready.

Monitor performance

Ask Claude how your campaigns are doing. It pulls CTR, CPC, conversion data, flags wasted spend, and surfaces what needs attention.

Optimize and prune

Pause bleeding keywords, add negatives, adjust bids, test new ad copy. Claude drafts every change, you approve before it hits your account.

Is it safe to use?

A Google Ads MCP with a draft layer.

When Claude wants to pause a broad match keyword, adjust a Smart Bidding target, or launch a new campaign, AdKit catches it as a draft inside your dashboard.

You review it. You approve it. Only then does Google see the change.

Google's official MCP is useful for read-only reporting. AdKit is for the next step: turning Claude's recommendations into campaign drafts you can inspect before publishing.

"Other tools I found were just proxies for the ads API. One bad call and you could mess up a live campaign. What I like about AdKit is that everything goes through a draft first. That buffer between your agent and your live account is what makes it safe to use."
Nevo David
Founder of Postiz

"Ads managers are painfully slow. Click into campaign, click into ad group, click into keywords, filter, sort, adjust. It takes forever. With AdKit I just tell Claude what I want and it handles the rest. What used to take 30 minutes now takes seconds."
