About google_ads_mcp
google-marketing-solutions/google_ads_mcp
The Google Ads MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Gemini, to interact directly with the Google Ads API.
This tool helps marketing professionals and advertisers manage their Google Ads campaigns more intuitively by connecting Google's Gemini LLM directly to the Google Ads API. It allows users to input natural language questions or commands into Gemini and receive insights or execute actions on their Google Ads account. This is ideal for those who prefer to interact with their ad campaigns through conversational AI rather than navigating complex dashboards.
