Self-hosted MCP server for Google Ads Search campaigns. Forks googleads/google-ads-mcp and adds a guardrailed write layer (validate -> diff -> confirm -> commit), shaped reporting tools, and a local undo journal.
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"google-ads-mcp-write","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

# Google Ads MCP Server (write fork) Manage your Google Ads account by talking to an AI assistant (like Claude) instead of clicking through the Ads UI or a rules engine -- read performance, find wasted spend, adjust budgets and bids, pause things, build campaigns -- with every change shown to you as a plain before/after diff before it touches your account, and a one-command undo if you change your mind. This is a fork of Google's own official [googleads/google-ads-mcp](https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-mcp) (which is read-only) that adds a guardrailed **write** layer, a few marketer-specific reporting tools, and a local undo journal. See [NOTICE](NOTICE) for attribution. ## Is this for you? If you manage Google Ads accounts -- in an agency, in-house, or as a freelancer -- and you're comfortable typing into Claude, this is built for you specifically. You don't need to write code or touch the Google Ads API directly; the one-time setup below is a guided script, not a dev environment. If you're technical and want to self-host this for a team, skip to [Advanced: hosting and other MCP clients](#advanced-hosting-and-other-mcp-clients) once you've read the safety model. **What it's actually good for.** Being honest about this rather than overselling it: this tool's strongest, most differentiated value is in two places. First, the search-term-review-to-negative-keyword workflow, since that's consistently the single biggest recurring time-sink in PPC account management. Second, and more importantly, the local **undo journal** -- no other tool in this space, including Google's own account change history, gives you a real one-command rollback for a mutation you regret. Building brand-new campaigns from scratch is *not* this tool's strongest use case -- Google Ads Editor already does that well, for free, and campaign creation isn't something you do often anyway. Think of this as "safely execute and undo the fixes you already decided on," not "replace your whole PPC …
