Status: Available. Google Ads uses Google OAuth and a server-owned Google Ads developer token. The enabled customer accounts, Google Ads permissions, policy requirements, and API limits define the route. Explore the Google Ads connector. Use this connection from Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok Bot, Muse or another compatible AI agent. Each agent needs its own ApexGenius setup once; start with Claude, ChatGPT or Codex.

What you need

  • A Google account with access to the intended Google Ads customer or manager account
  • The customer IDs you intend to enable
  • An ApexGenius account with the Google Ads connection enabled
You do not paste a Google client secret or Google Ads developer token. ApexGenius configures those application credentials once for the shared gateway.

  2. Select Google Ads.

  6. Refresh provider resources.
  7. Enable only the Google Ads customer accounts the MCP gateway should expose.
