And in this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Google Ads account to Cursor via Composio Connect, so it can create a new customer list for holiday campaigns, get campaign details by campaign ID, list all current customer lists in your account, and more without ever putting your account credentials at risk. ## Also integrate Google Ads with - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/claude-code) - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/claude-cowork) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Grok Bot](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/grok-bot) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/kimi) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/grok-build) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/hermes-agent) - [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/atomic-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googleads/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR ### Why Composio? - 1,500+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors. - One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app. - Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation. ## Connect Google Ads to Cursor ### Connect Google Ads to Cursor Two ways to install — pick whichever you prefer. ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to Cursor. [↗Install in Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=composio&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Nvbm5lY3QuY29tcG9zaW8uZGV2L21jcCJ9&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=cursor_install_button&utm_campaign=googleads&utm_content=Google Ads) ### 2. Or add manually Add to your Cursor mcp.json Open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config) and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Google Ads MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Google Ads MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Ads account. It provides structured and secure access to your advertising data, so your agent can perform actions like creating customer lists, retrieving campaign details, and managing audience segments on your behalf. - Automated customer list creation: Instantly have your agent create new customer lists for targeted marketing campaigns, streamlining your segmentation workflows. - Campaign insights by ID or name: Let your agent fetch detailed information for any ad campaign using its ID or name, making reporting and optimization a breeze. - Customer list management: Ask your agent to retrieve and review all your existing customer lists, so you always know who you're targeting. - Add or remove contacts from lists: Seamlessly update audience membership by having your agent add or remove contacts from specified customer lists for more dynamic targeting. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLEADS_ADD_OR_REMOVE_TO_CUSTOMER_LIST` | Add or remove to customer list | Adds or removes contacts from a Google Ads customer list (UserList/audience/remarketing list), not a Google Ads customer account. Note: It takes 6 to 12 hours for changes to be reflected in the customer list. Email addresses must comply with Google Ads policies and applicable privacy/consent laws. | | `GOOGLEADS_BATCH_MUTATE` | Batch Mutate Google Ads Resources | Create, update, remove, or act on supported Google Ads resource types in one request. With partial_failure=false (the default), all operations are atomic and execute only if every operation is valid. With partial_failure=true, valid operations execute independently while invalid operations return errors. Use negative temporary resource IDs to connect resources created in the same request. Remove operations are destructive. | | `GOOGLEADS_CREATE_CALLOUT_ASSET` | Create Callout Asset | Create an immutable account asset containing a validated callout. Associate the returned resource using Mutate Customer Assets with field_type CALLOUT. Cleanup removes that association; Google does not allow deleting the asset. | | `GOOGLEADS_CREATE_CUSTOMER_LIST` | Create customer list | Creates a Google Ads customer list (UserList/audience/remarketing list), not a Google Ads customer account. Note: Requires an authenticated Google Ads connection with customer_id configured. Email-based lists must comply with Google Ads policies and applicable privacy/consent laws. Membership updates can take many hours to propagate; targeting eligibility is not immediate after creation. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_CAMPAIGN_BY_ID` | Get Campaign By Id | GetCampaignById Tool returns details of a campaign in Google Ads. Requires an active Google Ads OAuth connection with the correct customer_id configured; missing or mismatched customer_id will cause empty results. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_CAMPAIGN_BY_NAME` | Get campaign by name | Queries Google Ads via SQL to retrieve a campaign by its exact name. Requires an active Google Ads connection with valid customer_id and appropriate OAuth scopes. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_CONVERSION_ACTION_TAG_SNIPPETS` | Get Conversion Action Tag Snippets | Retrieve provider-generated website or call conversion tag snippets after creating a conversion action. Markup is returned exactly as Google provides it. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_CONVERSION_INGESTION_STATUS` | Get conversion ingestion status | Retrieve one Data Manager ingestion status snapshot. SUCCESS, FAILED, and PARTIAL_SUCCESS are terminal. PROCESSING and REQUEST_STATUS_UNKNOWN are not. The caller owns the documented backoff loop. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_CUSTOMER_LISTS` | Get customer lists | GetCustomerLists Tool lists all customer lists (audience/remarketing lists) in Google Ads. These are user segments for targeting, not Google Ads accounts — list IDs are distinct from account IDs. When multiple lists share similar names, review all returned results before selecting one for downstream operations. | | `GOOGLEADS_GET_RMF_REPORT` | Get Required Google Ads Report | Run a prominent, bounded Google Ads report template for Customer, Campaign, Ad, Keyword, Search Term, Dynamic Search Ads Search Term, or Bidding Strategy. Official required columns are always selected; dates default to LAST_30_DAYS. | | `GOOGLEADS_INGEST_CONVERSION_EVENTS` | Ingest conversion events | Validate or submit a bounded Google Ads conversion-event batch. Set validate_only=true for a no-ingestion check. False starts irreversible asynchronous processing and returns a request ID for later status checks. | | `GOOGLEADS_LIST_ACCESSIBLE_CUSTOMERS` | List Accessible Customers | List Google Ads customer resource names directly accessible to the authenticated OAuth user. Google determines the complete result from the OAuth credentials and ignores customer_id and login-customer-id; this action does not filter the response. For MCC child account names, status, and direct hierarchy, use List Sub Accounts. | | `GOOGLEADS_LIST_DATA_MANAGER_CONVERSION_ACTIONS` | List data manager conversion actions | List conversion actions usable as Google Ads Data Manager destinations. Returns numeric destination IDs, true owning accounts, action types, and availability; defaults to enabled offline and enhanced-lead actions. | | `GOOGLEADS_LIST_SUB_ACCOUNTS` | List Sub Accounts | List direct child/sub-accounts under a Google Ads manager (MCC) account. Use this before account-scoped read or mutate calls when a user needs to choose which child account to target. The returned customer_id values can be passed to other Google Ads tools as their customer_id. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_AD_GROUP_ADS` | Mutate Ad Group Ads | Create, update, or remove ads in Google Ads ad groups, including responsive search ads. Use this after creating campaigns, budgets, ad groups, and keywords so the ad group has creative that can serve. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_AD_GROUP_ASSETS` | Mutate Ad Group Assets | Create, update, or remove links between assets and ad groups. Use this after creating assets to attach sitelinks, callouts, snippets, images, and other asset types at ad group level. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_AD_GROUP_BID_MODIFIERS` | Mutate Ad Group Bid Modifiers | Create, update, or remove ad group bid modifiers, such as device bid adjustments or hotel-specific bid modifier criteria. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_AD_GROUP_CRITERIA` | Mutate Ad Group Criteria | Create, update, or remove criteria attached to a Google Ads ad group in a single batch request. Supports keywords (positive and negative), audience targeting (user lists, custom audiences, combined audiences, in-market/affinity), demographics (age range, gender, parental status, income range), placements (websites, mobile apps, YouTube channels/videos), topics, webpages (for Dynamic Search Ads), and listing groups (for Shopping). Use this to programmatically manage keyword bids and match types, build audience targeting, or prune underperforming criteria. Remove operations are irreversible — deleted criteria cannot be recovered. For testing, set validate_only=true to dry-run without committing changes. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_AD_GROUPS` | Mutate Ad Groups | Create, update, or remove ad groups within Google Ads campaigns. Supports batch operations with multiple ad group changes in a single request. Use when you need to manage ad groups programmatically, such as creating new ad groups for campaigns, updating ad group settings or status, or removing ad groups that are no longer needed. This action is irreversible for remove operations — deleted ad groups cannot be recovered once removed. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_ASSETS` | Mutate Assets | Create or update supported Google Ads assets such as sitelinks, structured snippets, text assets, lead forms, promotions, calls, price assets, and media assets. Use Create Callout Asset for validated immutable callouts. Google Ads does not allow removing assets; cleanup removes their resource associations. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_ASSET_SETS` | Mutate Asset Sets | Create, update, or remove Google Ads asset sets, which group assets for feeds, locations, and other campaign uses. Link assets to a set separately with an AssetSetAsset mutation, and attach sets to campaigns with Mutate Campaign Asset Sets. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_BIDDING_STRATEGIES` | Mutate Bidding Strategies | Create, update, or remove portfolio bidding strategies such as Target CPA, Target ROAS, Target Spend, Maximize Conversions, Maximize Conversion Value, and Target Impression Share. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGN_ASSETS` | Mutate Campaign Assets | Create, update, or remove links between assets and campaigns. Use this after creating assets to attach sitelinks, callouts, snippets, and other asset types at campaign level. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGN_BUDGETS` | Mutate Campaign Budgets | Create, update, or remove Google Ads campaign budgets. Use this before creating campaigns because campaign creation requires an existing campaign_budget resource name. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGN_CRITERIA` | Mutate Campaign Criteria | Create, update, or remove campaign-level targeting criteria such as locations, languages, campaign-level negative keywords, devices, schedules, audiences, and IP exclusions. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGN_LABELS` | Mutate Campaign Labels | Create or remove relationships between campaigns and labels. Use this after creating labels to organize campaigns for filtering and reporting. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGNS` | Mutate Campaigns | Create, update, or remove Google Ads campaigns in batch. Supports multiple operations (create, update, remove) in a single request. Use when managing campaign lifecycle, applying bulk changes, or automating campaign management workflows. This action is irreversible for remove operations — deleted campaigns cannot be recovered. Plan accordingly and consider using validate_only=true to test changes before applying them. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CAMPAIGNS_V2` | Mutate Campaigns V2 | Create, update, or remove Google Ads campaigns in batch. Supports multiple operations (create, update, remove) in a single request. Use when managing campaign lifecycle, applying bulk changes, or automating campaign management workflows. This action is irreversible for remove operations — deleted campaigns cannot be recovered. Plan accordingly and consider using validate_only=true to test changes before applying them. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CONVERSION_ACTIONS` | Mutate Conversion Actions | Create, update, or remove Google Ads conversion actions for conversion tracking configuration. This manages Google Ads conversion action resources; installing website/app tags remains outside this action. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CUSTOM_AUDIENCES` | Mutate Custom Audiences | Create, update, or remove Google Ads custom audiences used to reach users by interests, searches, visited URLs, place categories, or installed apps. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_CUSTOMER_ASSETS` | Mutate Customer Assets | Create or remove customer-level asset associations. Removal irreversibly removes the current association; recreate it to restore the link. Use this after creating assets to attach callouts, sitelinks, snippets, and other asset types across a Google Ads customer account. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_LABELS` | Mutate Labels | Create, update, or remove Google Ads labels. Pair this with campaign label mutations to organize campaigns and support filtering. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_PORTFOLIO_BIDDING_STRATEGIES` | Mutate Portfolio Bidding Strategies | Create, edit, or remove typed Target CPA and Target ROAS portfolio strategies. Attach with Mutate Campaigns, read with Get Required Google Ads Report, and transition all campaigns before removal. Budget alignment is not exposed because Google requires the bidding strategy and campaign budget to be changed atomically with GoogleAdsService.Mutate, while this action uses the resource-specific mutate endpoint. currency_code can be set on create only for manager-account strategies. | | `GOOGLEADS_MUTATE_SHARED_SETS` | Mutate Shared Sets | Create, update, or remove Google Ads shared sets used to group shared criteria, such as negative keyword lists, for reuse across campaigns. | | `GOOGLEADS_SEARCH_GOOGLE_ADS_FIELDS` | Search Google Ads Fields | Search the Google Ads v23 field metadata catalog with GAQL. | | `GOOGLEADS_SEARCH_STREAM_GAQL` | Search Stream GAQL | Execute a Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) query and aggregate every streamed response batch in order. For very large reports, select only needed fields and use WHERE and LIMIT because action responses are returned inline and are not automatically offloaded. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, Cursor can access the Google Ads MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You have successfully connected Google Ads to Cursor using Composio Connect.

With a standalone Google Ads MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google Ads tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google Ads and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Cursor? Yes, you can. Cursor fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Google Ads tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google Ads while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Ads scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Google Ads data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
