A growth marketing consultant details their experience building a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to enable an AI assistant, Claude, to manage Google Ads and Meta accounts. The server integrates with various APIs, including Google Ads API, Meta, GA4, and Search Console, and features around a hundred tools for reporting, audits, and optimization. Key design choices included using a passthrough tool for direct query language access (like GAQL) instead of wrappers, implementing a read-after-write verification for all modifications to prevent silent failures, and maintaining a markdown file of past errors for the AI to learn from.
