For you

What the answer looks like, and what to type to get it.

Gemini on gemini.google.com with a Workspace account does not currently support this custom MCP connection. For a conversation directly in Gemini, use Gemini Enterprise on Google Cloud. Google Chat is a separate option.

Capabilities and boundaries

  • Reports, campaign management, saved reviews, alerts and Sheets exports use the same authorized Get MCP Ads tools. Availability still depends on plan, account selection, workspace permissions and provider support.
  • Native alerts and export schedules run on Get MCP Ads after the chat closes.
  • Results come back as conversation text; the embedded views shown in Claude and ChatGPT are not part of these routes. Use the dashboard for visual media selection, account setup and uploads.
  • Keep each client workspace explicit. Review the exact account, campaign, budget, settings and revision before approving a change. A timeout is not permission to repeat an uncertain write.

Technical-user route; not a substitute for the agency’s everyday Workspace interface. These instructions follow the Gemini CLI MCP server documentation.

Restart Gemini CLI, inspect /mcp and use its OAuth authentication flow for get-mcp-ads. Approve only the intended accounts. Keep tool confirmations enabled. Check list_accounts before reading a report.

Do not auto-install. These integrations require administrator setup. Establish this user’s own connection and check the accounts it returns before claiming access. Never paste secrets into chat. Preserve per-user permissions and wait for OAuth consent.
