Why connect Google Ads to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)?

Windsurf's agent works across your files and terminal, but on its own it can't see what your campaigns are doing. Connected through Lemonado, it reads your Google Ads campaigns, search terms, PMax and budgets, so it can see what brand search really costs with today's numbers.

  • 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 Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

Before you start

  • A Google Ads account you can sign in to
  • Windsurf 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.

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

    Add the server (Devin Local)

    Devin Desktop's default agent uses the Devin CLI config. Run these two commands and finish the browser sign-in.

    bash
    devin mcp add -s user lemonado https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp
devin mcp login lemonado
  4. 4

    Using legacy Cascade instead

    In the Cascade panel, open … → MCPs → Open MCP config file and merge this in. Save, refresh, switch the server on and sign in.

    json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "lemonado": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.lemonado.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  5. 5

    Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about Google Ads

    Try "Compare last month's Google Ads numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "Which terms keep wasting spend?" or "Do our UTMs match?"

Good to know

  • Devin Local and legacy Cascade keep separate setups, so sign in to each one you use.
  • Current versions keep user MCP config in ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json on macOS and Linux.

What can Windsurf (Devin Desktop) do with Google Ads?

Windsurf's agent reads your Google Ads data and works the numbers into your code, from config checks to reports saved in the repo.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) logoWindsurf (Devin Desktop)

Compare last month's Google Ads numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off.

2 of 6 targets were missed three months running. I updated them in config/targets.json and left a comment with the numbers behind each change.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your Google Ads account in Lemonado, add Lemonado with devin mcp add, and Windsurf can see what brand search really costs with your live data.

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 Windsurf 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 devin mcp login lemonado again for Devin Local. Legacy Cascade keeps its own login, so refresh the server there and sign in too. 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.
