Is GA4 included in Google's official Ads MCP?

No. The official Google Ads MCP is an Ads API bridge: three read-only tools you run yourself. GA4 is a different Google API. Get MCP Ads ships both as two live sources on one hosted URL, with separate OAuth connects and separate ticked-account allowlists. Search Console is a third Google source if you connect it.

Do I tick Ads customers and GA4 properties together?

No. Each source has its own picker. Connecting a Google identity that can see many Ads customers and many GA4 properties does not expose them. You tick Ads customers under Google Ads and properties under GA4. The server-side check includes run_tool on both catalogues.

Can GA4 write through this gateway?

No. The GA4 source on Get MCP Ads is read only by design. There is no ga4_update_* write in the catalogue. Google Ads writes exist on paid plans, preview then confirm. Do not expect the assistant to create GA4 custom dimensions or change data streams through this URL.

Does official Cloud Run hosting count as Google-hosted MCP?

No. Google's guide lets you deploy the same Python server on Cloud Run, which you still operate. That is self-hosting on Google Cloud, not a Google-hosted MCP URL the way Meta hosts mcp.facebook.com/ads. Get MCP Ads is the hosted URL we operate.

What about Search Console in the same client?

Search Console is a live source on the same hosted URL once you connect it and tick properties. It is read only. Official Google Ads MCP still does not include it. If the question is paid versus organic, you want Ads plus Search Console plus, often, GA4, which is the point of one gateway.

Do you ship Microsoft Advertising next to GA4?

No tools yet. Microsoft Advertising is soon: OAuth exists, the tool set is not shipped. There is no X Ads source. The Google side that is live is Google Ads, GA4 and Search Console. Microsoft's own Advertising MCP is a separate open pilot, not our Bing row.

Google Ads and GA4 in the same MCP client

Google Ads and Google Analytics 4 are two live sources on the same hosted MCP URL. Official Google Ads MCP is ads-only: 3 read-only tools, pipx or your own Cloud Run, no Google-hosted URL. This gateway ships Google Ads and GA4 as separate catalogues with one OAuth 2.1 client and a ticked-account allowlist.

Does official Google Ads MCP include GA4?Link to this section

No. Google's Ads MCP developer guide describes a Python server for the Google Ads API. Mode is read-only. Transport defaults to stdio via pipx. Cloud Run is optional self-hosting you operate. The three tools are list_accessible_customers, search, and get_resource_metadata. There is no GA4 tool on that server, and no Google-hosted MCP URL.

How do you get both in one client?Link to this section

Paste https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp into your MCP client. In the Get MCP Ads dashboard, connect Google Ads and connect Google Analytics 4 as two platforms. Tick the Ads customers and the GA4 properties separately. An agent cannot complete OAuth or the ticks.

Open your MCP client and add a remote MCP server.
Paste https://mcp.getmcpads.com/mcp as the server URL and confirm.
Approve the sign-in page. Connecting platforms and ticking accounts still happens on Get MCP Ads, not inside the client.
