Google released version 0.0.6 of its open-source Google Ads MCP server on November 2, 2026, adding the first tools in the project's public history that can change a Google Ads account, PPC Land reports. The four new tools create assets, upload videos to YouTube, manage labels and attach labels to accounts, campaigns, ad groups and keywords. They are enabled by default, and PPC Land found no Google announcement of the release.
Google's developer integration guide, last updated October 30, still describes the server as strictly read-only. The guide installs the server from the repository's main branch, so users following it get the new version automatically. The server uses the single Google Ads API OAuth scope, which has no read-only option, so earlier grants already allowed writes at the API level.
Each write runs as a two-step propose-and-confirm flow with a checksum. Swiss consultant Thomas Wismer, who tested the tools in a live client account, wrote that whether a human approved a change "the server cannot check." PPC Land's reading of the code is that the checksum proves parameters did not change, not that anyone approved them.
The server still cannot create or edit campaigns, change budgets, bids or status, or attach new assets to campaigns. Amazon Ads and Meta already offer AI agent tools that can launch or edit campaigns.
