What Gemini CLI can do with your ads
Live numbers in your code
Pull spend, conversions and CPA into a script, a notebook or a dashboard, without exporting a file.
Ads and creatives too
Campaigns, ad groups, ads and the creatives behind them, not just account totals.
Your role is the limit
Gemini CLI reaches the workspaces you are a member of, and never beyond your role in each one.
Off in one click
Turn off MCP access in Settings → MCP and Gemini CLI loses access at once.
Every number sourced
Each figure names the account, the campaign and the date range it came from.
No platform passwords
Gemini CLI signs in to Adstudio with OAuth. Your ad platform logins never reach it.
What to ask Gemini CLI first
Questions teams running Google, Meta and TikTok ask every week. Each one works as written once Adstudio is connected.

Is this the Gemini app or Gemini CLI?
These steps are for Gemini CLI, Google's open-source agent for the terminal. It connects to Adstudio with one command.
Where is the server saved?
In your Gemini settings.json, under mcpServers. You can also add it there by hand with httpUrl set to https://useadstudio.com/api/mcp.
Can Gemini CLI change my campaigns?
No. The Adstudio MCP server only reads: it lists your accounts and reads performance, campaigns, ad groups, ads and creatives. Changes are made in Adstudio, where each one is a plan you approve.
What can Gemini CLI see?
The workspaces you are a member of in Adstudio, never beyond your role in each one. Turn off MCP access in Settings → MCP and Gemini CLI loses access at once, along with every other connected AI.
Which ad platforms can I use from Gemini CLI?
Google Ads, Meta Ads and TikTok Ads, through the accounts you have connected in Adstudio.
Same accounts, whichever AI you use
