Google Ads Transparency MCP

An MCP server that allows AI agents to search the public Google Ads Transparency Center for live ad creatives, copy, headlines, landing URLs, and video IDs by domain, brand, or advertiser ID. It supports competitor research and marketing analysis without requiring proxies, browser automation, API keys, or logins.

Endpoint and access

API key: create a key with the vendor first; your client sends it as an authorization header on every request.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http google-ads-transparency-mcp https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add google-ads-transparency-mcp --url https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable google-ads-transparency-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads-transparency-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads-transparency-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start google-ads-transparency-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{

      "url": "https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http google-ads-transparency-mcp https://mutualistic-housing--google-ads-transparency-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

Claude Desktop
