What Google Ads is

Google Ads is Google’s advertising platform for search, display, YouTube, and Performance Max campaigns. It’s where most businesses spend to reach customers actively searching for what they sell.

What it can change, and what stops it

These are the only tools here that write. Every other call reads. A write is checked against the ceilings below before anyone is asked to approve it, so a call that would breach one is refused rather than queued.

Tool Access What it does
pause_campaign write Pause or resume a campaign — proposed first, applied only once you approve.
update_budget write Adjust a daily budget — proposed first, applied only once you approve.

The ceilings — how far one change can move a budget, how many campaigns it can touch, how many writes a workspace gets in a day — are on the security page, with the reason for each.

Prompts that work once it is connected

You type these into your own client. HeyMetra never sees the conversation — only the tool calls the client decides to make.

  • Which campaigns spent the most last week, and what did they return?
  • How does this month's ROAS compare with last month's?
  • Which campaigns spent in the last 30 days without a single conversion?
  • How is spend split between Google Ads and Meta this month?

Setting it up

Two steps, in this order: authorise Google Ads in HeyMetra — you sign in on Google Ads's own screen, so no password reaches us — then add HeyMetra as a remote MCP server in the client you use. The second step is the one that differs.

  1. Claude

    Claude calls remote MCP servers "connectors" and adds them from its own settings, under Connectors.

    Set up in Claude

  2. ChatGPT

    ChatGPT adds remote MCP servers from its settings; the option is account- and plan-dependent and OpenAI has moved it more than once.

    Set up in ChatGPT

  3. Cursor

    Cursor reads MCP servers from an `mcp.json` file — one per project under `.cursor/`, or a global one in your home directory.

    Set up in Cursor

  4. Codex

    Codex reads MCP servers from its own config file, under an `mcp_servers` section.

Frequently asked

Is the Google Ads connector available yet?

No. Google Ads is marked Soon and cannot be connected. 7 of the 14 sources work today; this is not one of them, and no plan includes it yet.

Does Google Ads have an official MCP server?

Yes — the vendor publishes one, and it is the first result for that search (developers.google.com, checked September 2026). It covers Google Ads and nothing else. This connector sits next to 13 others behind one connection, which is the difference: one server that reads the account you spent in and the account you earned in.

What can I ask about Google Ads once it is connected?

Whatever the tools can answer — you type the question into your own client, not into anything of ours. For example: “Which campaigns spent the most last week, and what did they return?” or “How does this month's ROAS compare with last month's?”

Can HeyMetra change my Google Ads account?

Only through 2 named tools — pause_campaign, update_budget — and each call is checked against ceilings held in code before a person is asked to approve it. Everything else is read-only.

How do I connect Google Ads to Claude or ChatGPT?

You connect Google Ads to HeyMetra once — by signing in on Google Ads, so no password reaches us — and then add HeyMetra as a remote MCP server in whichever client you use. The four client pages carry the step for each one.

What does the Google Ads connector cost?

Nothing on its own. Plans are priced by how many connectors and seats you get, not per connector or per tool call, and every plan can reach every connector that is live. The pricing page carries the current figures.

Connectors next to this one

The other half of the question lives in a different category: Google Search Console data sits behind the same connection, which is what lets one answer cover both.

Google Ads is not available yet

This page exists so it is ready when the connector is. Do not buy a plan for Google Ads — tell us you want it instead, and we will say when it lands rather than when we hope it will.
