Manager Account Auto-Routing

If search targets a manager (MCC) account and finds no data directly, it automatically:

  1. Detects the account is a manager

  2. Finds child accounts

  3. Runs the query on each child

  4. Returns combined results with _source_customer_id marking which account each row belongs to

Setup

Prerequisites (all paths)


1. Clone

git clone https://github.com/ceotind/open-google-mcp.git
cd open-google-mcp

2. Create and authorize a service account

A single service account authenticates Google Ads, Search Console, and Google Analytics 4.

  1. Go to GCP Console → APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → Service Account

  2. Download the JSON key file, then copy these fields into .env:

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY (the private_key — keep the \n escapes)

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_ID

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_ID

  3. Google Ads: add the service account email in your manager account (Settings → Account access → Service account users)

  4. Search Console: add the same email to your property (Settings → Users and permissions → Add user, grant Full access)

  5. Google Analytics 4: add the same email to your GA4 property (Admin → Account Access Management → Add user → Viewer)

3. Configure .env

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with the service account values + developer token

Variable

Description

GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN

Your Google Ads API developer token

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

Service account email

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY

Private key (with \n newlines)

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_ID

Private key ID

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID

Client ID

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_ID

GCP project ID

GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID

Optional — for MCC account routing

GA4_CREDENTIALS_PATH

Optional — dedicated GA4 credential file

4. Build and run

docker compose build
docker compose run --rm open-google-mcp

5. MCP client config

Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "open-google-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["compose", "run", "--rm", "open-google-mcp"],
      "workdir": "/path/to/open-google-mcp"
    }
  }
}

opencode:

{
  "mcp": {
    "open-google-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["docker", "compose", "run", "--rm", "open-google-mcp"],
      "workdir": "/path/to/open-google-mcp",

Option B: Python (local install)

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/ceotind/open-google-mcp.git
cd open-google-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

2. Create and authorize a service account

Same steps as Option A above — a single service account works for Ads, GSC, and GA4.

  1. Go to GCP Console → APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → Service Account

  2. Download the JSON key file, then copy these fields into .env:

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_ID

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID

    • GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PROJECT_ID

  3. Google Ads: add the service account email in your manager account

  4. Search Console: add the same email to your property with Full access

  5. Google Analytics 4: add the same email to your GA4 property with Viewer access

3. Configure .env

cp .env.example .env

Variable

Description

GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN

Your Google Ads API developer token

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

Service account email
