Why connect Google Ads to Claude Code?

Claude Code works where your tracking code and reporting scripts live, so it can do what a chat can't: compare live Google Ads campaign names with the UTMs in your landing pages, and save clean data into the project.

  • Your whole Google Ads account

    Campaigns, ad groups, ads and assets, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Performance Max asset groups, synced from Google Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "What's our real ROAS?" use Google Ads and Meta Ads, GA4 at once.

How to connect Google Ads to Claude Code

Before you start

  • A Google Ads account you can sign in to
  • Claude Code installed
  • A Lemonado account (the free trial works)
  1. 1

    Connect Google Ads in Lemonado

    In Lemonado, open Connectors, find Google Ads and sign in. If you use a manager (MCC) account, choose the client accounts you want, not only the manager.

  2. 2

    Turn on external access

    In the company's settings, open External tools, turn the connection on, choose which sources it can reach and copy the server URL.

    https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
  3. 3

    Add the server

    With Claude Code installed, run one of these in your terminal. Most people want the first: it adds Lemonado to every project.

    bash
    # every project (recommended)
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http lemonado https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp

# this project only
claude mcp add --transport http lemonado https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in

    Start Claude Code with claude and run /mcp. Choose Lemonado and finish the sign-in in your browser.

    bash
    claude
/mcp
  5. 5

    Ask Claude Code about Google Ads

    Ask a question about the accounts your connection can reach. Claude Code can also write the numbers into a file or a script for you. Try "Write a prompt file that pulls last week's Google Ads spend and conversions by campaign and saves reports/google-ads-weekly.md. I'll run it with claude -p." Or ask: "Which terms keep wasting spend?" or "Do our UTMs match?"

Good to know

  • The command uses Claude Code's default local scope. Use --scope user to share the server across projects.

What can Claude Code do with Google Ads?

Claude Code queries your Google Ads data while it works in your repo: it saves data as files, checks tracking against code and runs headless with claude -p.

Write a prompt file that pulls last week's Google Ads spend and conversions by campaign and saves reports/google-ads-weekly.md. I'll run it with claude -p.

Saved prompts/google-ads-weekly.md. Run claude -p with it from cron and Claude Code writes the report with that week's numbers each time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Claude Code's headless mode (claude -p) uses the MCP servers you've added, so a cron job or CI step can ask for last week's Google Ads numbers and write the report to a file. Lemonado handles the Google sign-in, so there's no developer token in your repo.

You can. Google publishes an open-source Google Ads MCP server (googleads/google-ads-mcp on GitHub). It's free and read-only, but it runs locally or on your own Cloud Run and needs a Google Cloud project with OAuth credentials. In Claude Code that means setting up the Cloud project, credentials and Python yourself. Lemonado is one URL with a normal Google sign-in, and also covers your other channels.

Run claude mcp list to see whether lemonado is connected. If it needs authentication, run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in again. In Lemonado, check that Google Ads is connected and External tools is on for the company. If you sign in with a manager (MCC) account, ask about a client account by name: the data sits in the client accounts, not the manager.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Put Google Ads spend next to Stripe revenue by week for the last quarter."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
