Google Ads for AI agents

Google Ads is Google's online advertising platform where businesses bid to show ads, product listings, and video across Google's network. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Google Ads connects.

Users sign in to Google Ads on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Google Ads OAuth app, or bring your own so the Google Ads consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Google Ads connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Google Ads and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Google Ads with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Google Ads to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Google Ads actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Google Ads?

Users sign in to Google Ads on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Google Ads OAuth app, or bring your own so the Google Ads consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Google Ads actions can my agent take?

31 in total: 10 read, 20 write and 1 destructive, such as “create Callout Asset”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Google Ads?

Yes. Actions like “add or remove to customer list” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Google Ads too?

Yes. The same Google Ads connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
