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.
What agents do in Google Ads.
Check a campaign's performance
Pull a report on a campaign's spend and conversions to summarize this week's ad performance.
Look up a campaign by name
Find a specific campaign by name before making a change to its budget or targeting.
Approve a budget change
Update a campaign's budget only after the marketing lead confirms the new spend limit.
31 Google Ads actions, graded by risk.
Every Google Ads action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Google Ads in three steps.
- 01Your users connect Google AdsThey sign in to Google Ads on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Callout Asset” can wait for the user, and “add or remove to customer list” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Google Ads through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('google_ads', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_callout_asset destructive: 'deny', // add_or_remove_to_customer_list }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
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 →

- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES

Use Google Ads from any agent.
Google Ads and Arc0, answered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Plug Google Ads into your agent.
Your users connect Google Ads once, under your brand. Your agent gets 31 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
