PaidHelm MCP

PaidHelm is a hosted MCP server that connects AI assistants to the Google Ads API, enabling users to run reports, perform audits, manage negative keywords, adjust bid strategies, and build campaigns via natural language. It operates on an OAuth-based authorization model where changes are paused by default until user approval, ensuring safety and control over ad spend.
