Connect Google Ads to Cline with MCP

$1B+ ad revenue generated $500M+ managed Ex-Scandiweb paid media lead 630+ MCP tools

To connect Google Ads to Cline, add a remote server of type streamableHttp with the URL https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, either in the Remote Servers tab or in cline_mcp_settings.json. Cline can then call PaidSync.ai tools for Google Ads, Meta Ads and 12 other platforms.

What Cline Needs

Cline treats PaidSync.ai as a remote MCP server. Its docs recommend the Streamable HTTP transport, and you need:

A server name, a URL and the transport, set in the Remote Servers tab or the JSON file.
A PaidSync.ai login with Google Ads connected.
A way to authorise, either the browser sign-in from the CLI or a Bearer header.

Cline's docs say that leaving type out falls back to the legacy sse transport, so set it explicitly.

How the Connection Works

Setting	Value
Type	streamableHttp
URL	https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp
Settings file (CLI)	~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
IDE route	MCP Servers icon, Remote Servers tab
Authorise	Authorize OAuth in the CLI wizard, or a Bearer header

The docs only mention OAuth briefly, as an Authorize OAuth action in the CLI wizard. If you prefer a key, a PaidSync.ai API key in an Authorization header reads and previews on Google Ads.

How to Connect Google Ads to Cline in 5 Steps

Do these in order. The code box holds the exact setup from Cline MCP configuration docs.

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Open Remote Servers

In the Cline panel open the MCP Servers icon and go to the Remote Servers tab.

Fill in the form

Enter the name paidsync, the URL from the box below and Streamable HTTP as the transport, then click Add Server.

Authorise

From the CLI run cline mcp and use Authorize OAuth, or add a Bearer header if you use a key.

Test one tool call

Ask Cline to list your Google Ads accounts and confirm a PaidSync.ai tool runs.

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidsync": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

How to Check the Connection

Leave autoApprove empty at first, so Cline asks before it calls any tool.

"List my Google Ads accounts and set the one called Main as active."

Run this to confirm the connection.

"Run get_wasted_spend_report for the last 30 days and list the search terms with cost and no conversions."

Run this to confirm the connection.

How PaidSync.ai Protects You

Approval by default. An empty autoApprove list means Cline asks before each tool call.
Reports change nothing. The wasted spend and performance reports only read your account.
Sign-in for changes. Applying a Google Ads change needs the OAuth sign-in.
A change log. Applied changes are logged, on a best-effort basis, with a before-and-after result.

Setup follows Cline's MCP documentation, checked on 24 October 2026. The page describes OAuth only briefly. Source: Cline MCP configuration docs. Every Google Ads tool is on the Google Ads MCP server page, and the full list of clients is on Connect your ads.
