6 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- Google official maintenance under googleads org.
- 448 GitHub stars and Apache-2.0 license.
- 29 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Two-phase mutation pattern adds an explicit operator approval boundary.
- GAQL access matches the Google Ads CLI capability.
- Google Ads developer token required; new token requests take review time.
- Mutation costs real ad spend; treat phase 2 as production action.
- OAuth setup steeper than API-key flows.
OAuth credentials carry the connecting user permission scope. Use a service-account or dedicated user with the minimum Google Ads role required. apply_mutation commits ad-spend changes; gate behind explicit operator confirmation in production.
Marketing operators running Google Ads who want agents to triage performance and propose mutations; agencies managing multiple Google Ads accounts adopting agentic workflows; teams that want a strict approval boundary between agent-proposed and operator-applied changes.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
