AdWhiz — Google Ads & Meta Ads MCP Server

AdWhiz is a hosted MCP server that connects your AI coding tool to the Google Ads API and Meta (Facebook) Graph API through a secure, authenticated proxy. It exposes 113 tools across 7 categories so you can audit, create, and manage ad campaigns across both platforms using plain English.

All API calls are authenticated via your personal ADWHIZ_API_KEY and routed through the AdWhiz server at mcp.adwhiz.ai. No Google or Meta credentials are stored by the skill — authentication is handled entirely server-side after you link your ad accounts at https://adwhiz.ai/connect.

Security & Permissions Model

• OAuth 2.0: User authenticates with Google and/or Meta via AdWhiz's web UI. Refresh tokens (Google) and long-lived access tokens (Meta) are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and never exposed to the agent.
• API key scoping: Each ADWHIZ_API_KEY is bound to a single user's connected accounts. Cross-user access is not possible.
• Write safety: All Google Ads write tools create entities in PAUSED status by default. Meta write tools require explicit status parameters.
• Mutation logging: Every mutation is recorded in the get_operation_log tool for full auditability.
• Read-only by default: 44 of 113 tools are strictly read-only and cannot modify your accounts.
• Confirmation required: Write tools require user confirmation before executing via the agent's standard permission flow.
• No arbitrary code execution: The MCP server is a hosted HTTP service. No code is downloaded or executed on the user's machine beyond the thin MCP client wrapper.

MCP Server Configuration

AdWhiz uses HTTP transport to connect to the hosted MCP server. No npm packages are downloaded or executed at runtime.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adwhiz": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${ADWHIZ_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

The field is "type", not "transport" — verified 2026-08-13 by running claude mcp add --transport http … and reading back what it writes to ~/.claude.json. The CLI flag is spelled --transport; the JSON key it produces is "type". Configs using "transport" are silently not recognised.

For Claude Code the one-liner is equivalent and less error-prone:

claude mcp add --transport http adwhiz https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ADWHIZ_API_KEY"

Omit --header to use browser OAuth instead of an API key.

REST API (Alternative to MCP)

For platforms that cannot use the MCP protocol (GPT Actions, Dify, Coze, or any HTTP-based workflow), AdWhiz also exposes all 113 tools as a standard REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1.0 spec:

• OpenAPI spec: https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/api/v1/openapi.json
• Tool listing: https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/api/v1/tools
• Tool execution: POST https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/api/v1/tools/{tool_name}

# Example: list campaigns via REST API
curl -X POST https://mcp.adwhiz.ai/api/v1/tools/list_campaigns \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADWHIZ_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"customer_id": "1234567890"}'

Import the OpenAPI spec URL into any platform that supports OpenAPI actions to auto-discover all 113 tools.
