Why connect YouTube 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 YouTube Ads video ads, view rate, watch time and conversions, so it can compare YouTube with Meta video with today's numbers.

  • Your whole YouTube Ads account

    Video campaigns and ads, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Quartile completion, synced from YouTube Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "YouTube or Meta video?" use YouTube Ads and Google Ads, Meta Ads at once.

How to connect YouTube Ads to Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

Before you start

  • A YouTube Ads account you can sign in to

    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"
    }
  }
}

    Ask Windsurf (Devin Desktop) about YouTube Ads

    Try "Compare last month's YouTube Ads numbers with the targets in config/targets.json and update the file where we're consistently off." Or ask: "Do our UTMs follow the rules?" or "How did each video ad do?"

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 YouTube Ads?

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

Compare last month's YouTube 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.
