To check the Google Ads link in Merchant Center with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Merchant Center account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to check which accounts are linked, which shows whether Shopping ads can use your feed. It reads only.

Which Tools Do the Work

Shopping needs Merchant Center linked to Google Ads. Two read tools show the state:

merchant_list_links lists account level service links such as Google Ads.
get_merchant_account_status says whether the account is linked to Google Ads.

merchant_list_links and get_merchant_account_status only read your account. That is the full set you need to check the Google Ads link.

How the Workflow Is Built

Tool	What it does
merchant_list_links	Lists the links
get_merchant_account_status	Reports link status

A link needs approval in Google Ads before ads use the feed.

These steps use Claude to check the Google Ads link. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

Connect Merchant Center to PaidSync.ai

"Is my account linked to Google Ads?"

How PaidSync.ai Protects You

Nothing is changed. merchant_list_links and get_merchant_account_status only read Google Merchant Center, so nothing you do to check the Google Ads link edits your setup.
Safe to repeat. You can run the lookup to check the Google Ads link as often as you like, because these tools only read. Tokens are encrypted at rest.
Your own sign-in. The tools that check the Google Ads link reach Merchant Center only through the access you approve on Google's own screen, and you can remove that access at any time from your Google Account.

Every Google Merchant Center tool PaidSync.ai offers is listed on the Merchant Center MCP server tools page, including the tools used to check the Google Ads link.
