Google Ads and Meta ads MCP servers, compared: research first, then changes

Start with superagnt to research competitors and plan campaigns without touching your spend: it reads any brand's Facebook and Instagram ads, the landing pages behind their top offers and what those keywords cost, and never connects an ad account. Then pick an account server for the changes: Meta's own Ads MCP server for Meta, Google's open-source server to read Google Ads, or a hosted server to change both from one chat.

superagnt is a marketing plugin for Claude and ChatGPT that helps businesses find customers through outbound, SEO and ads. Every option below is shown from its own docs, pricing page or repo, read on Nov 5, 2026.

Install superagnt's Competitor Ad Research skill for me. It's the competitor-ad-research plugin from the github.com/superagnt/plugins marketplace, plus the superagnt MCP server (on Claude it's a connector I add in my browser; elsewhere I sign in through my browser).

01// the short answer

Which one to use, by job

start here: research and planning
superagnt: competitors' live ads, the landing pages behind their top offers and what those keywords cost, with no ad account connected and nothing that can spend. A three-brand report cost 57.72 credits ($0.58).
change Meta campaigns, Meta's way
Meta Ads MCP server: Meta's own server. New work starts paused, your client asks before anything goes live, and where Meta's rules are available, an admin can block budget increases.
read Google Ads, Google's way
Google Ads MCP server: free and open source, and it can't change a bid, a budget or a campaign's status. You host it.
Google and Meta from one chat, as drafts
AdKit Ads MCP: every change is saved as a draft in AdKit before it reaches your ad account, from $29 a month.
six ad platforms behind approvals
Adspirer MCP server: new campaigns start paused and writes wait for your confirmation. Free plan: 15 tool calls a month, no card; competitor ad research needs Pro at $99 a month.
audit an account in Claude Code
Claude Ads: free and open source, and every write is switched off. It works from the exports you give it.

12 Google Ads and Meta ads MCP options, compared

The columns follow the two jobs: first what each can research, then what it can change in your account and what stops it from overspending. Every fact is from the option's own docs, pricing page or repo, read on the date in its row. A fact its own pages don't state says so.

12 ways to research or run Google Ads and Meta ads from Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, each read on its own pages on Nov 5, 2026
option	sees competitors' ads	can touch your budget	set up before the first answer	works in	what it can change	spend guardrails	price and free tier	source
superagnt Best for: researching competitors and planning campaigns without touching your spend	Yes. Any brand's active Facebook and Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library, by country, grouped by offer, with the landing page and keyword costs behind each main offer (up to 5 a competitor).

03// two jobs

Running ads from Claude is two jobs

An ads MCP server (MCP is the Model Context Protocol, the way Claude, ChatGPT and Codex call outside tools) is a connector that lets your AI call an ad platform's tools: read a report, build a campaign, change a budget. Running ads that way is two jobs. The first is research and planning: what your competitors run, what their offers and landing pages say, and what the keywords cost. The second is running your own account: reading its results and changing live campaigns, their budgets, bids, ads and audiences.

Every account server on this page is built for the second job. It works on the ad accounts you connect, and most of them can spend your money. Research needs no ad account, so it can run where nothing can spend. That's the job superagnt does, which is why it sits first. When you're ready to launch or change campaigns, the account servers below take over.

Job	What it needs	What it can touch	On this page
Research and planning: competitors' ads, offers, landing pages, keyword costs	Public ad libraries and search data. No ad account.	Nothing: it only reads	superagnt first; several account tools also search ad libraries
Running your own account: reports on its results, and changes to budgets, bids, ads and audiences	Your ad account connected, with permission to read it, and to edit it for changes	Your campaigns and their spend	Every other option, each with its own controls

04// question one

Which of these can research competitors' ads, not just your own account?

10 of the 18 options on this page: superagnt, Meta Ads MCP server, Markifact MCP server, AdKit Ads MCP, Adspirer MCP server, Ryze AI MCP connector, GoMarble MCP, Supermetrics for Claude and MCP server, Pipeboard Meta Ads MCP and Claude Ads. None of the other options' own pages lists an MCP tool that reads other advertisers' ads. Most of the 10 are campaign tools that also search an ad library. superagnt has no ad-account side: it never connects an ad account, so nothing it does can change a campaign, and its skill reads the landing page behind each main offer and prices that offer's keywords in the same run. Claude Ads covers the job as instructions, with no data connection of its own.

superagnt: Any brand's active Facebook and Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library, by country, grouped by offer, with the landing page and keyword costs behind each main offer (up to 5 a competitor). A recorded run: 615 ads for 3 brands, 57.72 credits.
Meta Ads MCP server: Its ads_library_search tool searches the public Meta Ad Library "for competitive research and creative inspiration", from inside the same sign-in that manages your ads. Meta is rolling tool access out gradually.
Markifact MCP server: It searches the Meta Ad Library through your Meta Ads connection, and Google's Ads Transparency Center by domain without a Google Ads connection.
AdKit Ads MCP: Its adkit_library tool searches AdKit's own library of 1M+ ads from 8,000+ advertisers on Meta, Google and LinkedIn, and on Google it shows the keywords competitors bid on with estimated costs per click.
Adspirer MCP server: On Pro and Max: competitor_ads_research pulls a competitor's live ads from public ad libraries (Google by default, plus Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn) by domain, and "no connected ad account is required".
Ryze AI MCP connector: On Meta only: its searchAdLibrary tool searches the public Ad Library: "It uses a platform-level credential, so it is not limited to your own accounts." Each search costs 0.5 Ryze credits; its 14 Google Ads tools read only your accounts.
GoMarble MCP: On the hosted server: its ad library tools look up "any brand's ads" and suggest competitors "without connecting anything", and each ad returned uses competitor insight credits. The free open-source servers read only your accounts.
Supermetrics for Claude and MCP server: On Meta: its Meta Ad Library source returns advertisers' ad text and links by country and keyword. It needs a personal Facebook account that has passed Meta's identity check, which takes 1 to 3 business days.
Pipeboard Meta Ads MCP: Its "Meta Ad Library search" returns "other advertisers' ads"; in its code it calls Meta's ads_archive API with your own token. An admin can switch it off as a prompt-injection risk.
Claude Ads: As instructions: its competitor skill tells Claude to research ad libraries such as the Meta Ad Library, but brings no data connection of its own. Claude gathers the evidence itself, or you paste it.

05// question two

Which can touch your budget, and what do you set up before the first answer?

Can change something that spends: Meta Ads MCP server, Markifact MCP server, Composio Google Ads and Metaads toolkits, AdKit Ads MCP, Adspirer MCP server, Madgicx Facebook MCP and Google MCP, Zapier Google Ads MCP, Ryze AI MCP connector, GoMarble MCP, Windsor.ai MCP, Supermetrics for Claude and MCP server and Pipeboard Meta Ads MCP. Can't: superagnt, Google Ads MCP server, Coupler.io MCP server and Claude Ads. Not stated: StoreHero MCP and Google Ads API agent skills. Google's server can't change bids, budgets or campaign status, Coupler.io queries a copy of your reports, Claude Ads ships with every write switched off, and superagnt has no ad account to write to.

Setup comes in three sizes. The hosted servers need an account of their own and your ad platforms signed in, a few minutes each, though Adspirer warns that a new Google passkey can take up to 7 days; some ask for a paid plan before the tools answer. Google's official server needs a Google Cloud project, API access, OAuth credentials and a local install, or your own Cloud Run deployment for the web apps. superagnt needs one connector and a sign-in, and no ad account. The table's second and third columns have each option's details.

06// question three

What can each one change, and what stops it from overspending?

The controls differ more than the tool lists. Meta's server creates everything paused, your client asks before switching it on, and where Meta's rules are available an admin can block budget increases. Supermetrics keeps writes off until you grant them per ad account, then asks at the points you pick. AdKit keeps changes as drafts outside your ad account. Markifact and GoMarble prepare each change and send it only after you confirm. Adspirer, Windsor.ai and Madgicx rely on your client asking before a write, and Composio and Zapier on your prompt and their access settings. The read-only options can't overspend at all.

What they can change runs from nothing that spends (Google's server, which adds only assets and labels, Coupler.io, Claude Ads and superagnt) to campaigns, budgets, bids and targeting on two or more platforms (Composio, Markifact, Adspirer, AdKit and Supermetrics). The table's fifth and sixth columns set each option's changes beside its controls.

What each one does, from its own pages

superagnt
research plugin, read-only
best for researching competitors and planning campaigns without touching your spend
superagnt is a marketing plugin for Claude and ChatGPT that helps businesses find customers through outbound, SEO and ads. Its Competitor Ad Research skill pulls the ads your competitors run on Facebook and Instagram, groups them by offer, angle and format, reads the landing page behind each main offer and prices that offer's keywords. It can also run every week and report the ads that started since the last run. It's the research half of running ads: what to run and what it will cost, before anything touches your account.
platforms
Facebook and Instagram ads in the Meta Ad Library, Google keyword volumes and costs per click, any landing page
competitors' ads
Yes. Any brand's active Facebook and Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library, by country, grouped by offer, with the landing page and keyword costs behind each main offer (up to 5 a competitor). A recorded run: 615 ads for 3 brands, 57.72 credits.
your budget
No. It never connects an ad account, so it can't change a campaign, a bid or a budget. That's what keeps your spend safe while you research.
setup
Add superagnt to Claude as a connector and sign in. No ad account, no developer token, no app review.
changes
Nothing in an ad account. It only reads, and keeps what it finds as rows in your own workspace database.
guardrails
None needed: it has no access to an ad account. A run spends data credits from your plan, never ad budget.
price
Starter, $49 a month with $20 of data credits. Free: a no-card trial with $3 of data credits; the run on this page used $0.58
limits
$20 of data credits a month on Starter; up to 30 ad library calls a competitor per run (the skill's cap)
Checked on Nov 5, 2026 on its own pages: Competitor Ad Research, Pricing, Connect docs.
Meta Ads MCP server
Meta's own server, hosted
best for managing your own Meta ads from a chat instead of Ads Manager
Meta's own server, hosted at mcp.facebook.com/ads and one of its "ads AI connectors". It reports on your campaigns, builds and edits them, runs catalogs, Pixels and tests, and searches the Ad Library. It's the server Meta runs itself: new work starts paused, your client asks before anything goes live, and where Meta's server rules are available, an admin sets them per ad account in Business Suite. Meta's connectors also include an Ads CLI, a command-line tool for the same jobs.
platforms
Facebook and Instagram ads, plus Meta catalogs, Pixels and the Conversions API
competitors' ads
Yes. Its ads_library_search tool searches the public Meta Ad Library "for competitive research and creative inspiration", from inside the same sign-in that manages your ads. Meta is rolling tool access out gradually.
your budget
Yes. It creates ad sets with budgets, edits campaigns, ad sets and ads, and ads_activate_entity switches a paused one on, which Meta says "starts spending budget".
setup
Add https://mcp.facebook.com/ads as a connector, then sign in with Facebook Login for Business and approve ads permissions. No Meta developer app needed.
changes
Campaigns, ad sets (targeting and budget), ads and creatives, boosted Instagram posts and partnership ads, custom audiences, catalogs, Pixel event rules, A/B tests and lift studies.
guardrails
New campaigns, ad sets and ads start paused, and your client asks before switching one on. A draft mode keeps new work for review. Admins can add rules that block budget increases above a percentage, an amount or a ceiling (limited availability). An activity log mirrors the campaign history.
price
No price on Meta's pages. No free tier stated
limits
tool access rolls out gradually by ad account; server rules are in limited availability

Google Ads MCP server
Google's own server, open source
best for developers who want Google's own read-only bridge to the Google Ads API
Google's open-source server lets an agent read a Google Ads account in plain language, with Google Ads Query Language underneath. It's free, and it can't change bids, budgets or campaign status. The cost is setup: a Cloud project, API access, OAuth and a local install, or your own Cloud Run deployment for the web apps. None of its tools calls Keyword Planner, which Explorer access also excludes.
platforms
Google Ads, through the Google Ads API
competitors' ads
No. Every tool works on accounts the signed-in user can access. Nothing reads other advertisers' ads.
your budget
No. Google's docs say it "is strictly read-only. It cannot modify bids, pause campaigns, or create new assets." Its newest release adds asset and label tools only.
setup
A Google Cloud project with the Google Ads API on, then Explorer access to reach real accounts, OAuth credentials, Python with pipx and a config entry. To use it in Claude's or ChatGPT's web apps, deploy your own copy to Cloud Run. Developer tokens were retired on Sep 9, 2026.
changes
Nothing in campaigns, bids or budgets. The repo's latest release can create assets and manage labels, each behind a propose-and-confirm step.
guardrails
Read-only by design. The asset and label tools dry-run first and need the change's checksum plus your approval, and you can switch them off.
price
Free, open source (Apache-2.0); you host it. Free: the whole server; Explorer API access allows 2,880 operations a day on production accounts
limits
Explorer access: 2,880 operations a day on production accounts; Basic access needs brand verification; Standard needs a manual review

Markifact MCP server
hosted server, part of a marketing automation platform
best for marketers and agencies running ads across many accounts, next to the rest of their stack
Markifact is a marketing automation platform whose MCP server reaches 14 ad platforms and the tools around them. It reads and changes Google Ads and Meta behind an approval step for every write, and adds competitor research from Meta's Ad Library and Google's Transparency Center.
platforms
Google Ads and Meta, plus 12 more ad platforms, GA4, Sheets, Slack and Shopify
competitors' ads
Yes. It searches the Meta Ad Library through your Meta Ads connection, and Google's Ads Transparency Center by domain without a Google Ads connection.
your budget
Yes. It creates campaigns, changes budgets, bids and bidding strategies, and sets status to active, paused or deleted.
setup
A Markifact account (trial credits, no card), Google Ads and Meta connected by OAuth on its Connections page, then the server added to your client.
changes
Google Ads Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, Display and App campaigns, ad groups, ads, assets, keywords, budgets, bids and statuses; Meta campaigns, ad sets, ads and budgets; plus a fallback that can send any Google Ads change.
guardrails
"Every write is an approval-gated operation": the server shows the account, the campaign and the current and proposed values, and nothing runs until you confirm. It tells you to keep its write tool on "Needs approval" in your client.
price
Pro, $79 a month. Free: trial credits with no card; no free plan
limits
Pro: 2,500 credits a month, 1 seat; Team, $249 a month: 10,000 credits and up

Composio Google Ads and Metaads toolkits
integration platform, hosted
best for one hosted connection that reaches Google Ads, Meta and the rest of your apps
Composio is a hosted MCP gateway for 1,500+ apps, and its Google Ads and Metaads toolkits are two of them. The toolkits are wide: budgets, bidding strategies, keywords, audiences and conversions on Google, and the whole campaign tree on Meta. Google Ads signs in through Composio's own app; Meta needs an OAuth app you register yourself.
platforms
Google Ads and Meta ads, as two toolkits beside 1,500+ other apps
competitors' ads
No. Both toolkits list their full tools (78 for Google Ads, 91 for Metaads), and every one works on your own accounts.
your budget
Yes. Its Google Ads tools create, update or remove campaign budgets and bidding strategies; its Meta tools switch ads, ad sets and campaigns to ACTIVE.
setup
A free Composio account, Composio added as a connector, then Google's sign-in through Composio's managed app. For Meta you first register a Meta OAuth app of your own and add its ID and secret in Composio.
changes
Google Ads: campaigns, budgets, bidding strategies, ad groups, ads, keywords, audiences and conversions. Meta: campaigns, ad sets and targeting, ads, creatives, audiences, lead forms and tests, including archive and delete.
guardrails
No drafts, paused default or spend cap stated for ads. Composio says to "keep an approval step in your prompt", and offers access controls, an audit log and a paid Firewall add-on for policy checks.
price
Hobby, $0; Pro, $29 a month. Free: Hobby, no card: 100,000 tool calls a month, up to 20,000 of them on managed apps such as Google Ads
limits

AdKit Ads MCP
hosted server
best for one ads toolbox for you and your agent: research, drafts and publishing across eight platforms
AdKit is an ads toolbox with an MCP server, a CLI and a dashboard: an ad library, competitor tracking, an AI creative studio and campaign management across eight platforms. Its draft layer keeps changes out of your ad account until they're published, and with a project set to draft only, nothing goes live without your click.
platforms
Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and LinkedIn; Reddit, Microsoft, X and ChatGPT Ads in beta
competitors' ads
Yes. Its adkit_library tool searches AdKit's own library of 1M+ ads from 8,000+ advertisers on Meta, Google and LinkedIn, and on Google it shows the keywords competitors bid on with estimated costs per click.
your budget
Yes. It creates, edits and publishes campaigns, ad sets and ads, budgets and bids included, with each change saved as a draft first.
setup
An AdKit account (7-day trial), each ad platform signed in by OAuth inside AdKit with its ad accounts assigned, then the AdKit server added to your client. No API keys.
changes
Campaigns, ad sets and ad groups, ads, budgets, bids, keywords and negatives, targeting, status and creatives, on every platform it connects.
guardrails
Every change lands as a draft inside AdKit, not in your ad account. Each connection has an access level: read-only, draft only, or draft and publish. New projects start on draft and publish, which AdKit says lets "a misread request" go live with real spend.
price
Single Project, $29 a month. Free: a 7-day free trial; no free plan
limits
Single Project: 1 project, 1 ad account on each platform; Multiple Projects, $49 a month: unlimited projects and ad accounts

your budget
Yes. Its write tools "Creates campaigns, updates budgets, modifies targeting. Affects spend."
setup
A free Adspirer account, the connector added in your client, then each ad platform connected by OAuth. Meta needs Business Manager and an active ad account with billing; Google asks for a passkey, and a new one can take up to 7 days. No developer token, Cloud project or Meta app.
changes
Campaigns on six platforms, ad groups and ad sets, ads and copy, keywords and negatives, budgets, bids and bid strategies, targeting and audiences, schedules and status, plus deletes.
guardrails
New campaigns start paused, write tools need your confirmation, and deletes sit behind a separate confirm flag. Its background agents park every write in an approvals inbox with a cap on budget change per run. Every call is logged.
price
Free, 15 tool calls a month; Plus, $49 a month. Free: 15 tool calls a month, no card; competitor ad research needs Pro at $99 a month

Madgicx Facebook MCP and Google MCP
hosted server, part of an ads app
best for e-commerce brands that want Meta ads answers and quick actions in Claude or ChatGPT
Madgicx's two servers come with its ad app: one for Facebook and Instagram ads that can pause, scale and rebudget, one for Google Ads that only reads. They're for acting on what's running, not for building campaigns: there are no create tools.

best for Shopify brands that want answers in profit, not platform ROAS, across store, ads and email

How to connect Claude to Meta ads or Google Ads

Meta's Ads MCP server

Add https://mcp.facebook.com/ads as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT. Meta says the server works with any MCP-compatible agent and needs no developer credentials.
Sign in with Facebook Login for Business and approve the requested permissions, which include reading or managing your ads.
Ask which tools you have: Meta is rolling tool access out gradually by ad account.
With a Meta developer app of your own, Claude Code connects with claude mcp add --transport http --client-id <META_APP_ID> meta-ads https://mcp.facebook.com/ads.

Google's Google Ads MCP server

Create a Google Cloud project and turn on the Google Ads API. That grants Test access, which reaches test accounts only.
Apply for Explorer access on the API's overview page in Cloud Console to reach real accounts. Google approves most automatically; a known issue rejects projects on the Cloud free trial or with suspended billing.
Create OAuth credentials and install pipx, then add the server to your client's config with your project ID and credentials file.
For Claude's or ChatGPT's web apps, deploy your own copy to Cloud Run with OAuth and add its URL as a custom connector. You host it, so its updates are yours to pull.
Developer tokens were retired on Sep 9, 2026: guides that ask for one are out of date.

12// skills or servers

Claude skills or MCP servers?

A skill is a set of instructions: it tells Claude how to do a job well. A server is the connection: it gives Claude data to read and tools to call. Claude Ads is a skill pack that works from the exports you give it. Google's Ads skills teach the agent Google's own server. You can also export a CSV from Ads Manager and paste it into Claude, which needs neither.

Or skip both and have Claude write code against the Google Ads API or Meta's Marketing API itself: Google's skills guide shows an agent writing a script to create a campaign. superagnt ships both a skill and a server: the Competitor Ad Research skill and the server it runs on, so the skill has live ad library, web and keyword data from the first prompt.

13// safety

Is it safe to let Claude change your campaigns?

It can be, with the controls on. Meta's server creates new campaigns, ad sets and ads paused, and your client asks before activating one; where Meta's rules are available, an admin can block budget increases above a percentage, an amount or a ceiling. AdKit keeps every change as a draft, and its draft-only level means nothing goes live without your click. Adspirer and Ryze put writes behind approvals. Google's official server can't change bids, budgets or campaign status.

Research before you connect anything. superagnt reads competitors' ads, pages and keyword costs with no ad account, so it can't spend a cent of ad budget.
Connect one account server, read-only first, and turn on writes once you trust its reports.
Keep confirmations on in your client, and the strictest change level the server offers.
Give a server only the access it needs: Pipeboard offers read-only tokens, AdKit read-only and draft-only levels, and Supermetrics keeps writes off until you grant them per ad account.
Meta says it's "unlikely that an account would be banned simply for using" its own server.
Check every number against the ads manager before you act on it: attribution windows and time zones differ between tools.
Watch the activity log. Meta's server mirrors the campaign history; Adspirer and Zapier log every call.

14// method

How we compiled this

Which options: for "google ads mcp", "meta ads mcp", "facebook ads mcp" and "google ads claude" (Google US, Nov 5, 2026), we counted each MCP server's or skill's own pages (its site, docs or GitHub repo, not directory listings) that rank in the top 10 or that the search's AI Overview links, once per search and page. Meta's and Google's own servers are in the table beside superagnt, with the 9 others counted most, ties going to the one with more top-10 pages; 6 more that the overviews link or name are under "Also checked".
Every fact about another product is from its own docs, pricing page or GitHub repo, fetched by script on Nov 5, 2026, with each quoted line found again word for word in the saved page. A fact a product's own pages don't state says "not stated".
We didn't test the other products. superagnt's row comes from its billing catalog and a recorded run of the Competitor Ad Research skill on superagnt's staging server, Nov 4, 2026.
superagnt makes this page. It's first for the research job, the one it does; it doesn't change campaigns, and the table says so.

15// questions

Common questions

01Is there an official Google Ads MCP server?

Yes. Google publishes an open-source Google Ads MCP server, googleads/google-ads-mcp on GitHub. Google's docs call it strictly read-only, and its newest release adds only tools that create assets and manage labels, each behind a propose-and-confirm step: nothing in it changes bids, budgets or campaign status. You run it yourself, with a Google Cloud project, Google Ads API access and OAuth credentials; developer tokens were retired on Sep 9, 2026. It reads only accounts you can access, so for competitors' ads and keyword costs, use superagnt.

02Does Meta have an MCP server for ads?

Yes. Meta's Ads MCP server, at https://mcp.facebook.com/ads, is one of its ads AI connectors. You add the URL as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in with Facebook Login for Business. It reports on your campaigns, builds and edits them, and searches the Ad Library. New work starts paused and your client asks before anything goes live. Meta's pages state no price.

03Can Claude see my competitors' ads?

Yes. With superagnt, Claude reads any brand's active Facebook and Instagram ads in the Meta Ad Library, by country, with no ad account connected, then reads the landing page behind each main offer and prices its keywords. In a recorded run it pulled 615 ads for 3 brands for 57.72 credits ($0.58). Meta Ads MCP server, Markifact MCP server, AdKit Ads MCP, Adspirer MCP server, Ryze AI MCP connector, GoMarble MCP, Supermetrics for Claude and MCP server and Pipeboard Meta Ads MCP also search ad libraries, from tools that can change your campaigns.

04Can Claude plan a campaign without access to my ad account?

Yes. With superagnt, Claude can read what competitors run, what their landing pages offer and charge, and what each keyword costs per click, then draft the campaign: structure, offers, keywords and budget. You connect an ad account only when you're ready to launch, through one of the account servers on this page.

05Can Claude change my campaigns?

Yes, through an account server. Meta's Ads MCP server changes Meta campaigns, ad sets and ads, and hosted servers such as AdKit, Adspirer, Ryze and Composio change Google Ads and Meta. Google's official server can't change bids, budgets or campaign status, and superagnt never connects an ad account.

06Is it safe to let Claude manage ad spend?

It can be, with the controls on. Meta's server creates new work paused, your client asks before activating it, and where Meta's rules are available an admin can block budget increases; AdKit saves changes as drafts; Adspirer and Ryze put writes behind approvals. Start your research on superagnt, which can't spend anything, then connect an account server with confirmations on and the strictest change level it offers.

07Do I still need a Google Ads developer token?

No. Google retired developer tokens on Sep 9, 2026, and API access now comes from your Google Cloud project's access level: Test, then Explorer for real accounts. Guides written before then still list the token as a step.
