Run Google Ads from VS Code agent mode.

• Find the spend that never converts

  Adako lists every search term with no conversions that spent at least a threshold (by default the cost of 10 average clicks in the account, or a figure you set), totals the waste, and proposes a negative keyword for each with a match type and the reason. The analysis is a read, so it is free on every plan; the negatives are added only after you approve them.

• Read performance at every level

  Campaign, ad group, ad and keyword, with the previous period beside it. Search terms, quality signals, geo, hourly and device breakdowns. When a number moves, Adako splits the change by campaign, device, network, country and search term, and ranks the segments by how much of it each one accounts for.

• Launch Search and Performance Max campaigns, paused

  Adako resolves locations, languages and audiences to Google ids before anything is written, validates the draft against the campaign spec, and creates the campaign PAUSED. You look at it in the Google Ads interface and turn it on yourself.

• Manage budgets, bids, keywords and assets

  Daily budgets, bid strategies, ad schedules, device modifiers, assets and extensions, keyword and negative lists, labels. Every change is a proposal with a field-level diff, executed exactly once and read back from Google afterwards.

• Watch the account daily

  Rules run once a day against Adako’s synced copy of the account: CPA above a ceiling, ROAS below a target, spend rising faster than its baseline, a campaign that stopped serving. They email you, and a rule with an action proposes the pause or the budget cut. Monitors are included from the Pro plan.

How do I add Adako to VS Code?

Create .vscode/mcp.json, or open your user-level mcp.json, and add an adako entry under servers with "type": "http" and the Adako MCP URL. Start the server when VS Code offers to, sign in to Adako in your browser, then connect Google Ads on the Adako Accounts page and ask in agent mode.

Can I commit .vscode/mcp.json so my team gets Adako too?

Yes. The entry holds only the server URL, no credential. Each person who opens the workspace signs in with their own Adako account, and VS Code keeps that token on their machine. Leave an API key header out of a committed file: it would give everyone the key’s access.

Will VS Code ask before every Adako call?

VS Code asks before running an MCP tool, and you can allow a tool once, for the session, for the workspace or always. Allowing the google_ads read router for good is safe, since it never changes anything. Keep google_ads_write on confirm: a change made there is also a proposal that waits for your approval.

Can an AI agent create Google Ads campaigns?

Yes. With Adako connected, your assistant can build a Search or Performance Max campaign end to end: keywords, ad groups, responsive search ads, locations, budget and bid strategy. It is created PAUSED, so nothing spends until you open Google Ads and turn it on. The research and validation steps are free reads; the create itself costs one task.

Is it safe to let an AI agent change my Google Ads account?

Every change is a proposal first: a summary, a field-level diff of the exact fields that move, and the expected impact. Nothing reaches Google until you approve it, it then runs exactly once, and Adako reads the object back so you see what Google actually stored. Reads change nothing and run immediately.

How does Adako find wasted spend in Google Ads?

It pulls the search terms report for the period you name, keeps the terms with no conversions that spent at least a threshold (by default the cost of 10 average clicks in your account), totals that spend, and proposes a negative keyword for each with a match type and a reason. The whole audit is a read, so it costs nothing on any plan.

Which Google Ads campaign types does Adako support?

It reads every campaign type in the account, including Display and Shopping. It creates Search and Performance Max campaigns, both paused. For a type it cannot create, it says so rather than guessing.

Does Adako use the official Google Ads API?

Yes. Adako talks to the official Google Ads API with your own OAuth grant, paced within Google’s limits. It never automates the Google Ads web interface, and you can disconnect the platform on the Accounts page at any time.
