Getting started
Connect AdvisorPPC to Claude
Two minutes, one browser sign in, no API key. Claude registers itself with the connector automatically, so there is no client ID or secret to copy anywhere.
How do I add the connector in Claude?
The steps are the same on claude.ai in a browser and in the Claude desktop app.
- Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
- Paste the endpoint below into the URL field and confirm.
- Claude registers itself over OAuth 2.1 dynamic client registration. Nothing to fill in.
- A browser window opens on the AdvisorPPC consent screen. Sign in or create your free account, then approve the connection.
https://mcp.advisorppc.com/claude
Pasting that URL into a browser address bar returns 401 Unauthorized. That is correct: it is a protocol endpoint for an MCP client, not a web page. See troubleshooting.
How do I link my Google account?
Connecting the connector proves who you are to AdvisorPPC. Linking Google is what gives it something to read.
- Open your dashboard settings, in the Connect your accounts section.
- Choose Google and complete Google's own consent screen. It runs on Google's domain, in your browser.
- Pick the accounts you want reachable. AdvisorPPC never sees your Google password, and it can only reach what you approved.
Managing several client accounts under a Google Ads manager account works the same way: authorize the manager account once and the child accounts it covers become reachable.
What should I ask first?
Ask in plain language. You do not need to name a tool.
- List my Google Ads accounts and tell me which ones are actively spending.
- Run a PPC audit on my main account and rank what you find by wasted ad spend.
- Show me search terms from the last 30 days with spend and no conversions, and suggest negative keywords.
- Compare last month with the month before on cost, conversions, and cost per conversion.
- Which campaigns are limited by budget, and what would you change first?
- Check GA4 for the conversion events my Google Ads campaigns are optimizing toward.
Read-only work like this runs on the free plan. Anything that changes an account is a write, which paid plans unlock. See plans and limits.
How do I use AdvisorPPC in Claude Code?
Claude Code installs AdvisorPPC as a plugin. Run these from any project directory.
# 1. Add the AdvisorPPC plugin marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add advisorppc/advisorppc-plugin
# 2. Install the plugin
claude plugin install advisorppc@advisorppcThen start Claude Code and run /mcp. Pick AdvisorPPC from the list and choose to connect. The same browser OAuth flow opens, and once you approve it the connector's tools are available in that session and every session after it.
Already signed in on the web? The account is the same. Authorizing from Claude Code registers a separate client for that machine, so both keep working side by side.
How do I disconnect?
Remove AdvisorPPC from your assistant's connector settings, or revoke it from your AdvisorPPC dashboard. Either stops all tool access immediately. Revoking Google access from your Google account permissions also stops the stored tokens from working. Details on the security page.
