Skip if: Accounts without API access or developer token, or teams that require all ad changes through a dedicated agency portal only.

Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Search and Performance Max spend is a primary launch distribution channel for builders validating demand and scaling signups. Google Ads tooling belongs on distribution because it directly controls paid reach, keywords, and conversion campaigns—not codebase integration.
How it compares
Google Ads API MCP integration with GAQL and bulk mutate, not a keyword research skill or SEO crawler.
