Using Adplane with Claude

• A Google Ads account, or access to someone else's.
• An Adplane subscription. A 14 day free trial starts when you sign up and does not require a card.
• Claude, on any plan that supports connectors.

1. Go to adplane.ai and sign in with Google. Use the Google account you already use for Google Ads.
2. Approve the Google permissions screen. Adplane asks for access to Google Ads so it can read your reporting data and make the changes you ask for.
3. Every Google Ads account you have access to is connected automatically. There is no account picker and nothing to configure. You can see what got connected on your accounts page.
4. In Claude, open Adplane in the connector directory and click Connect. In ChatGPT (developer mode), Cursor, or Claude Code, add it as a custom connector with this URL instead: https://mcp.adplane.ai
5. Claude sends you through a one time approval. After that you are done.

Ask Claude:

List my Google Ads accounts.

You should get back your accounts with their IDs, names, and currencies. If you do, everything is wired up.

Ask about performance the way you would ask a colleague.

How did my search campaigns do last week compared to the week before?

Which ad groups have the highest cost per conversion in the last 30 days?

Show me search terms that cost more than 50 dollars and never converted.

Amounts come back in your account currency, already converted, so you can read them directly. Claude tells you the exact date range it used. If you know GAQL, you can hand Claude a query and it will run it.

Describe what you want and Claude assembles it.

Create a search campaign for our pricing page, 50 dollars a day, targeting the US.

Add an ad group for our main product terms with exact and phrase keywords.

Write a responsive search ad for that ad group.

Renames, budgets, bids, and pausing or enabling.

Pause the campaign that is spending the most with no conversions.

Raise the daily budget on our brand campaign to 80 dollars.

You can also cut waste with negative keywords.

Add these as negative keywords across the whole account.

This is the part worth reading carefully.

• Everything Adplane creates is paused. New campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads are all created in a paused state. They cannot serve and they cannot spend. You can build an entire campaign structure, look it over, and change your mind, with nothing running.
• Only one tool can start spending. Turning something on is a separate, deliberate action. No tool that creates anything is able to enable it at the same time. Nothing starts spending unless you explicitly ask for it.
• Negative keywords cannot spend. They only restrict where your ads show, so adding them is always safe.
• Deleting is deliberately limited. Adplane can permanently remove a campaign only if that campaign has never spent money, which exists for cleaning up a draft you abandoned. There is no bulk delete, and ad groups, ads, and keywords cannot be deleted at all. To stop something running you pause it, which is reversible.
• Changes are read back. After Adplane makes a change it reads the result back from Google and reports what Google actually stored, rather than assuming the change landed as requested.

The reporting tools cannot change anything. Raw GAQL queries are validated to be SELECT statements only, and the Google API used for reading cannot make changes regardless.

You can disconnect at any time on your accounts page. You can also revoke Adplane's access directly from your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Adplane stores your Google credentials encrypted and uses them only to serve your own requests. Full details are in the privacy policy. For anything else, email support@adplane.ai.
