One Performance Max campaign carried all spend and conversions; the Search campaign is paused. The cost per conversion looks too good for B2B: two short bursts of clicks at about one cent produced most of the month's conversions, and almost all of them are one sign-up action tracked as a page visit. Compare those days with real sign-ups before trusting the campaign's optimization.

Google Ads in ChatGPT

Short answer: install the Google Ads connector on AnythingMCP with an OAuth client from your Google Cloud project, authorize it once, turn on developer mode in ChatGPT and add AnythingMCP as an app with the URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp. ChatGPT can then read your campaigns, search terms, keywords, budgets and conversions and answer with your real numbers. It cannot change anything in the account.

Set it up

Step 1: Google Cloud project and OAuth client

  1. In console.cloud.google.com, enable Google Ads API for a project and make sure its access level is Explorer or higher (a new project starts at Test, which only reads test accounts). No developer token is needed since September 2026.
  2. Set the OAuth consent screen to Internal (Google Workspace) or External and In production.
  3. Create an OAuth client ID of type Web application with the redirect URI https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/api/mcp-oauth/callback.

Step 2: Install Google Ads on AnythingMCP

  1. Create a workspace on AnythingMCP Cloud (7 days free) or use your self-hosted AnythingMCP.
  2. In Marketplace, open Google Ads, click Install and paste the client ID and secret.
  3. On the connector page click Authorize with Provider and sign in with a Google user that can see your ad accounts.

Step 3: Add AnythingMCP to ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
  3. Enter a name, e.g. Google Ads, and a short description.
  4. Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp and create the connection.
  5. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

Step 4: Ask

Start a new chat, pick the app and ask about your account, for example "which campaigns spent the most last month and what did they bring in?". ChatGPT reads gads_playbook for the right queries and calls the report tools on its own.

What happens when you ask

Ask ChatGPT for wasted spend. It lists your accounts, pulls the search terms report for the period sorted by cost, keeps the terms with spend and no conversions, groups them by recurring words ("free", "jobs", a competitor's name) and checks your existing negative keywords with a GAQL query so it does not suggest duplicates. You get a table of candidate negatives with the cost each one would have saved, and nothing is changed until you add them yourself.

Prompts to try in ChatGPT

  • "Which Google Ads campaigns had the best and worst cost per conversion in the last 30 days?"
  • "Pull the search terms report for last month and suggest negative keywords, grouped by theme."
  • "Show daily spend and conversions for the last 8 weeks and point out any unusual days."
  • "Audit my conversion tracking: primary actions, counting type and whether each one recorded conversions recently."
  • "Which Google recommendations are open for my account, and what impact does Google estimate?"

FAQ

Does it work on the free ChatGPT plan? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.

Can ChatGPT change my campaigns? No. Every tool in the connector reads; none writes.

What does it cost? The Google Ads API is free within your Cloud project's quota (Explorer: 2,880 operations a day). AnythingMCP Cloud has a 7-day free trial, then from €19 a month; self-hosted AnythingMCP is free.

Why not export a CSV and upload it? You can, but it is a snapshot you have to redo every time. With the connector ChatGPT pulls exactly the report it needs, for any date range, and can check a second report when the first one raises a question.
