This is how to change keyword bids and match types in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to change the bids and match types of some keywords, and report every keyword individually. The change previews first, and keyword text cannot be edited.

Which Tools Do the Work

Read the keywords with their results, then change only the ones that need it:

get_ms_keyword_performance and list_ms_keywords only read your account. update_ms_keywords changes it. Claude calls these to change keyword bids and match types.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
get_ms_keyword_performanceShows how each keyword performs
list_ms_keywordsFinds the keyword IDs
update_ms_keywordsApplies the changes after the preview

Keyword text cannot be changed. To change the words, add a new keyword and remove the old one, which creates a new ID and loses history. A separate option clears a bid, because leaving a field out does not.

How to Change Keyword Bids and Match Types in Microsoft Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to change keyword bids and match types in Microsoft Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for Microsoft Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.

1

Connect Microsoft Ads to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Microsoft Ads on Microsoft's own sign-in screen. Use a Microsoft login that can reach the account where you want to change keyword bids and match types.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Microsoft Ads accounts" and choose the one to change keyword bids and match types in.

3

Pull results

Ask for keyword performance for the campaign over a recent range.

4

Pick the changes

List the keywords to raise, lower, tighten or pause.

5

Preview and apply

Read the dry run, confirm, and check the per-keyword read-back.

How to Check the Result

List the keywords again and confirm the bids, match types and status.

Use these two prompts to change keyword bids and match types in Microsoft Ads, in this order.

"Show keyword performance with quality score for ad group 456789012 over the last 30 days."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Lower the bid on keyword 567890123 in ad group 456789012 to 0.80 and set its status to paused, as a preview."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
