> How the gateway works, what each advertising source exposes, and every tool, metric and dimension you can reach.

Get MCP Ads is a hosted Model Context Protocol server. It connects your advertising accounts once and exposes them as tools to any MCP client. 185 tools across 6 sources, 743 metrics and 347 dimensions.

Everything below is generated from the running gateway. If a tool is listed here, it exists. If a metric is listed here, a tool can request it.

- [Account scoping](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/concepts/accounts): Which ad accounts a tool can reach, and how that is enforced.
- [Writes](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/concepts/writes): Preview, confirm, and what the gateway refuses to do.
- [Limits and errors](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/concepts/limits): Quotas, refusals, and how to read an error.
