Team-Wide Google Ads MCP Server Setup

The `list_campaigns` tool lets your entire development team query Google Ads campaigns directly through VS Code Copilot. By checking in a shared configuration file, every engineer gets instant access to live campaign data without manual API setup. This shared access allows your team to write and debug internal Google Ads tools together. VS Code Copilot uses these live campaign definitions to generate precise, production-ready code that matches your actual marketing structure.

Inspect Budget Constraints in Chat

The `list_budgets` tool retrieves your active Google Ads account spending limits directly inside the VS Code Copilot chat window. You verify your financial parameters without logging into external marketing portals. Pair this with `get_campaign_report` in VS Code Copilot to compare your daily spend against actual conversion metrics. Your team spots high-cost, low-yield campaigns right from the terminal.

Analyze Keyword and Ad Group Structures

The `list_ad_groups` tool maps your campaign hierarchy directly inside your active workspace. VS Code Copilot reads this structure via the MCP protocol to understand how your Google Ads are organized. Run `get_keyword_performance` alongside this in VS Code Copilot to inspect which search terms are driving conversions. You get the raw performance data needed to optimize your search campaigns without leaving your editor.
