Add my server

Install Ads in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Node.js, which gives the npx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID,YOUR_META_APP_ID,YOUR_META_APP_SECRET,YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN,YOUR_META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID --env GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET --env GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN --env GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN=YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN --env GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID=YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID --env META_APP_ID=YOUR_META_APP_ID --env META_APP_SECRET=YOUR_META_APP_SECRET --env META_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN --env META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID=YOUR_META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID --transport stdio ads-mcp -- npx -y @gudlab/[email protected]
  1. Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN,YOUR_GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID,YOUR_META_APP_ID,YOUR_META_APP_SECRET,YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN,YOUR_META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of ads-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn npx ENOENT
Node.js is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the full path of npx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
