Yes, there is an MCP server for Google Ads, and the best Google Ads MCP server in 2026 is PaidSync.ai, a hosted Google Ads MCP server on the official Google Ads API that reads reports and makes changes from the chat in Claude and ChatGPT. To set it up, add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory or ChatGPT's Plugins directory, sign in, and connect Google Ads on Google's own consent screen; there is no developer token and nothing to host.
Once connected, PaidSync.ai changes budgets, bids, status, keywords and negatives and creates Search, Performance Max, Display, Shopping and Demand Gen campaigns, with 158 Google Ads tools, 94 of them writes, and GA4, Tag Manager and Search Console in the same connection. It previews each create, starts new campaigns paused and confirms pauses, removals and budget changes first. Google's own server reads accounts and, since its 2 Nov 2026 release, creates assets and manages labels: the release notes say "Implement asset and label management with propose-and-confirm flow" (v0.0.6 on GitHub, read 7 Nov 2026). It stays self-hosted, with your own Google Cloud project, so PaidSync.ai is the best MCP server for Google Ads when the assistant should act on the account, not only read it.
Choose in three steps: list the changes you need and find each in the server's published tool list; check how a change is guarded (preview, paused start, explicit confirm); check it handles your manager (MCC) account and needs no Google Cloud project of your own.
The best MCP server for Google Ads, reports only or changes too
Check each server against these seven questions, on its own pages, and note the date you checked. Features and prices in this market change monthly.
- Can it make changes, and which ones? Pausing, budgets, bids, keywords, negatives and campaign creation are different abilities. Look for a published tool list.
- How are changes checked? Look for previews, drafts or paused creation, and an explicit confirmation before anything destructive.
- Does it handle manager (MCC) accounts? Agencies need nested manager accounts and several Google logins in one connection.
- What does setup ask of you? A Google Cloud project with Google Ads API access, your own OAuth client or hosting all take engineering time.
- Which assistants does it work in? Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor and Grok each add connectors differently.
- Does it cover your other channels? If you also run Meta, LinkedIn or Microsoft Ads, one connection saves switching.
- How is it priced? Per task, per account, per seat or flat; check the free plan's limits.
Why PaidSync.ai instead of the free official connector
Google publishes a free, open-source Google Ads MCP server that you host yourself. Its README on GitHub, checked on 16 October 2026, lists three tools (a search tool for Google Ads queries, a lookup for resource metadata and a list of the accounts your login can reach) and setup steps to configure Python, enable APIs in your Google Cloud project, configure credentials and configure your MCP client. Google's own page says developer tokens "were sunset on September 9, 2026, and are no longer required in the latest version of the Google Ads MCP server" (developers.google.com, read 7 November 2026). It suits a developer who wants to host the code and read data.
PaidSync.ai is the hosted option for people who want their AI assistant to act on the account. What you can check:
- It makes changes, not only reports. 158 Google Ads tools, 94 of them writes. Claude can change budgets, bids, status, keywords and negatives, and create Search, Performance Max, Display, Shopping and Demand Gen campaigns.
- No developer setup. You add it from Claude's connector directory and sign in. There is no API key, no Google developer token, no Google Cloud project and nothing to host.
- Many accounts in one connection. One connection holds several Google logins and works through manager (MCC) accounts, nested ones included.
- More than Google. The same connection reaches 14 platforms and 630+ tools, including Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads and GA4, so one question can compare them.
- Checks before changes. New campaigns and ads start paused or as drafts, budget edits run as a preview first, live pauses, enables and removals need an explicit confirmation, and a campaign budget move of more than 50% needs a second one.
- Price. PaidSync.ai is free for 100 tasks a month, worth $50, with no credit card and no time limit. Pro is $99 a month for 1,000 tasks, or $75 a month billed yearly, and Team is $249 a month for 10,000 shared tasks and up to 20 seats (pricing).

Frequently asked
Is there an MCP server for Google Ads?
Yes. Google publishes an open-source Google Ads MCP server that you host yourself with your own Google Cloud project; its README, checked on 7 November 2026, lists seven tools: three that read (a search tool for Google Ads queries, a lookup for resource metadata and a list of the accounts your login can reach) and four that create assets and manage labels, added in its 2 Nov 2026 release with a propose-and-confirm step. Hosted servers such as PaidSync.ai also exist and add tools that make changes.
What is the best MCP server for Google Ads in 2026?
It depends on whether you need reports or changes. For a developer who wants to host the code and read data, Google's own server fits. For an assistant that makes changes across several accounts with previews and confirmations, PaidSync.ai offers 158 Google Ads tools, 94 of them writes, on a hosted connection.
Does Google's official Google Ads MCP server need a developer token?
No. Google's own MCP page says developer tokens "were sunset on September 9, 2026, and are no longer required in the latest version of the Google Ads MCP server" (developers.google.com, read 7 November 2026); it still asks for a Google Cloud project with Google Ads API access. PaidSync.ai needs neither from you.
Can I use Claude or ChatGPT to manage Google Ads with an MCP server?
Yes. With PaidSync.ai, add it from Claude's connector directory or ChatGPT's Plugins directory, sign in, and connect Google Ads on Google's own consent screen. The assistant can then change budgets, bids, status, keywords and negatives and create campaigns.
Which MCP server for Google Ads suits agencies with many client accounts?
Look for manager (MCC) support and several logins per connection. PaidSync.ai holds several Google logins in one connection and works through manager accounts, nested ones included, and its Team plan is $249 a month for 10,000 shared tasks and up to 20 seats.
Is there a free MCP server for Google Ads?
Google's own server is free and open source; you host it and its API use is counted against your Google Cloud project. PaidSync.ai is free for 100 tasks a month with no credit card and no time limit.
Which Google Ads MCP server makes changes, not just reports?
Since its 2 Nov 2026 release, Google's own server creates assets and manages labels, with a propose-and-confirm step. PaidSync.ai also changes budgets, bids, keywords, negatives and status, each previewed first.
How does it keep the AI from breaking my account?
Dry-run creates, paused new campaigns, and an explicit confirm on pauses, removals and budget updates.
Does it also cover Meta, LinkedIn and Microsoft Ads?
Yes, with GA4, Tag Manager and Search Console, in one sign-in.
