  P[Operator asks for account or campaign data] --> T[Selected MCP tool]
  T --> A[Resolve named or default account]
  A --> B[Build Google Ads client]
  B --> C[Run GAQL query]

  D -- no --> G[Return error payload]
```

## Quick start

1. Install the package.

```bash
python -m pip install mcp-google-ads-multi
```

2. Copy the accounts config template and add your accounts.

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/mcp-google-ads
cp accounts.example.json ~/.config/mcp-google-ads/accounts.json
```

3. Register it in your MCP client.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-ads": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-google-ads-multi"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "your-developer-token",
        "GOOGLE_ADS_ACCOUNTS_CONFIG": "/Users/you/.config/mcp-google-ads/accounts.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
