Open Google MCP

A read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Ads (via GAQL), Search Console, and Google Analytics 4. Designed for AI assistants and LLM agents to safely read campaign performance, search analytics, website traffic, and more.

Tools

Google Ads

Google Search Console

Google Analytics 4

Manager Account Auto-Routing

If search targets a manager (MCC) account and finds no data directly, it automatically:

1. Detects the account is a manager
2. Finds child accounts
3. Runs the query on each child
4. Returns combined results with _source_customer_id marking which account each row belongs to

Setup

Prerequisites (all paths)

• A Google Ads developer token (apply via Google Ads API Center)
• Google Cloud service account with the following APIs enabled:
  • Google Ads API
  • Search Console API
  • Google Analytics Data API
  • Google Analytics Admin API

Option A: Docker (recommended — no Python required)

1. Clone

git clone https://github.com/ceotind/open-google-mcp.git
cd open-google-mcp

2. Create and authorize a service account

A single service account authenticates Google Ads, Search Console, and Google Analytics 4.

1. Go to GCP Console → APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → Service Account
2. Download the JSON key file, then copy these fields into .env:
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY (the private_key — keep the \n escapes)
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_ID
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_ID
3. Google Ads: add the service account email in your manager account (Settings → Account access → Service account users)
4. Search Console: add the same email to your property (Settings → Users and permissions → Add user, grant Full access)
5. Google Analytics 4: add the same email to your GA4 property (Admin → Account Access Management → Add user → Viewer)

3. Configure .env

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with the service account values + developer token

4. Build and run

docker compose build
docker compose run --rm open-google-mcp

5. MCP client config

Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-google-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["compose", "run", "--rm", "open-google-mcp"],
      "workdir": "/path/to/open-google-mcp"
    }
  }
}

opencode:

{
  "mcp": {
    "open-google-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["docker", "compose", "run", "--rm", "open-google-mcp"],
      "workdir": "/path/to/open-google-mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor:

• Name: open-google-mcp
• Type: command
• Command: docker compose run --rm open-google-mcp
• Working directory: /path/to/open-google-mcp

Option B: Python (local install)

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/ceotind/open-google-mcp.git
cd open-google-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

2. Create and authorize a service account

Same steps as Option A above — a single service account works for Ads, GSC, and GA4.

1. Go to GCP Console → APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → Service Account
2. Download the JSON key file, then copy these fields into .env:
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_ID
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID
   • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_ID
3. Google Ads: add the service account email in your manager account
4. Search Console: add the same email to your property with Full access
5. Google Analytics 4: add the same email to your GA4 property with Viewer access

3. Configure .env

cp .env.example .env

4. Run

source .venv/bin/activate
source .env
python -m open_google_mcp

Or use the wrapper script (loads .env automatically):

./server.sh

5. MCP client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-google-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/open-google-mcp/server.sh"

    "open-google-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["/path/to/open-google-mcp/server.sh"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor:

Date formats

You can use relative or absolute dates:

• Relative: today, yesterday, 7daysAgo, 28daysAgo, 30daysAgo
• Absolute: 2026-01-01 (YYYY-MM-DD format)

GAQL Tips

• Field names must be fully qualified: campaign.id, not id
• Date format: YYYY-MM-DD with dashes
• Relative dates: DURING LAST_7_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, THIS_MONTH, THIS_QUARTER
• For change_event resource, limit must be ≤ 10000
• Conditions are AND-combined
• Use get_resource_metadata first to discover valid fields
