## About

PaidSync.ai is a hosted MCP server for paid advertising: a Google Ads MCP, Meta Ads MCP, LinkedIn Ads MCP and TikTok Ads MCP in one. It gives ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Cursor 610+ tools across 14 platforms, including Microsoft, Snapchat, Reddit, Pinterest, X, ChatGPT Ads and GA4. Unlike read-only connectors, it makes changes: audits, wasted spend, negative keywords, budgets, bids and new campaigns, with a preview first. Best for PPC agencies. Free plan.

## Key Features

- One hosted MCP endpoint covers 610+ tools across 14 connected platforms.
- Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and ChatGPT Ads support campaign creation as well as management.
- Microsoft Ads, TikTok Ads, Snapchat Ads, Reddit Ads, Pinterest Ads, and X Ads support reporting and management of existing campaigns.
- GA4, Google Tag Manager, Merchant Center, and Search Console extend the same session into analytics, tagging, product feeds, and search reporting.
- PaidSync documents account audits, wasted-spend analysis, search-term and negative-keyword workflows, budget and bid changes, audience operations, and cross-platform reporting.
- Most creates use a dry-run preview before applying; destructive actions such as deletes, pauses, and budget changes require explicit confirmation flags.

## Use Cases

PaidSync is aimed at teams that want an AI assistant to do more than read advertising reports. PPC agencies can connect manager and business accounts, switch between client accounts, compare performance across channels, identify wasted spend, prepare negative keywords, adjust budgets and bids, and create campaigns on supported build-tier platforms. Founders and in-house marketers can use the same MCP endpoint for campaign audits, optimization, reporting, and measurement workflows.

## Compatibility

The hosted server uses Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp. PaidSync documents integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, Codex, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients. OAuth is the primary sign-in path for the MCP connection and for supported ad-platform connections.

## Limitations

- Campaign creation is not available on every ad network. PaidSync documents creation for Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and ChatGPT Ads; Microsoft Ads, TikTok Ads, Snapchat Ads, Reddit Ads, Pinterest Ads, and X Ads manage existing campaigns.
- Search Console is read-only.
- Over MCP, the client application's own tool-approval behavior is part of the human confirmation layer. PaidSync's web-workspace approval cards do not automatically apply to external MCP clients.
- The free plan is limited to 15 tasks per month. A single user prompt can consume multiple tasks if it triggers multiple tool calls.

gemini mcp add --transport http paidsync https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp
```

The same Codex MCP entry is documented for the Codex CLI, IDE extension, and Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app.
#### Windsurf

Transport: `http`

PaidSync documents Windsurf compatibility and says it uses an MCP config at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json with serverUrl. Exact full public config was not extracted here.
#### Other

Transport: `http`

- Add https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp as a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server.
- Choose OAuth when the client supports it.

Auth:
- Sign in with your PaidSync account.
