Connect Google Ads to Windsurf with MCP

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

To connect Google Ads to Windsurf, open Cascade's MCP config file and add a paidsync entry with serverUrl set to https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, then sign in when Windsurf asks. Cascade can then run PaidSync.ai tools for Google Ads, Meta Ads and 12 other platforms from inside your editor.

What Windsurf Needs

Windsurf's Cascade agent reads MCP servers from a JSON config file. For a remote server it needs three things:

An entry under mcpServers with a name you choose.
A serverUrl pointing at the PaidSync.ai endpoint, https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp.
A PaidSync.ai login with Google Ads connected.

Windsurf's docs say OAuth is supported for each transport, so there is no key to paste.

How the Connection Works

Setting	Value
Config	Cascade MCP config file, opened from the MCP section
Key	mcpServers, then paidsync
Field	serverUrl (url also works)
Value	https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp
Sign-in	OAuth with your PaidSync.ai login

The docs describe no marketplace or one-click install for this, so the JSON entry is the route. Header values can use environment variables if you prefer a key.

How to Connect Google Ads to Windsurf in 5 Steps

Do these in order. The code box holds the exact setup from Windsurf Cascade MCP docs.

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Open the MCP config file

In the Cascade panel open the Actions menu and use the Open MCP config file icon in the MCPs section.

Add the entry

Paste the paidsync entry from the box below under mcpServers and save.

Sign in

Windsurf starts the OAuth flow. Sign in with your PaidSync.ai login.

Ask Cascade

Open Cascade and ask a question about your account. Check that it calls a PaidSync.ai tool.

Windsurf MCP config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidsync": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

How to Check the Connection

Ask Cascade to list your accounts first. If it names your Google Ads account, the entry works.

"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

Reports change nothing. The wasted spend and performance reports only read your account.
Approval in Cascade. Cascade's own tool approval setting decides whether it asks before a change.
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.
