Google Ads Automation via Rube MCP

Access Google Ads data through Google Analytics integration, run performance reports, list linked Ads accounts, and analyze campaign metrics using Rube MCP (Claude Skill).

Toolkit docs: claude-skills.ai/toolkits/googleads

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active connection via
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
with toolkit
```
google_analytics
```
Always call
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add

https://rube.app/mcp

as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
responds
Call
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
with toolkit
```
google_analytics
```
If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Note: Google Ads data is accessed through the Google Analytics toolkit integration. The tools below use GA4 properties linked to Google Ads accounts.

Core Workflows

1. List Google Ads Links for a Property

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ANALYTICS_ADMIN_PROPERTIES_GOOGLE_ADS

to retrieve all Google Ads account links configured for a GA4 property.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ANALYTICS_ADMIN_PROPERTIES_GOOGLE_ADS
Parameters:
  - parent (required): Property resource name (format: "properties/{propertyId}")
  - pageSize: Max results (1-200, default 50)
  - pageToken: Pagination token

2. Run a GA4 Performance Report

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_RUN_REPORT

to run customized reports with dimensions, metrics, date ranges, and filters.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_RUN_REPORT
Parameters:
  - property (required): Property resource (format: "properties/{property_id}")
  - dimensions: Array of dimension objects (e.g., [{"name": "sessionCampaignName"}, {"name": "date"}])
  - metrics: Array of metric objects (e.g., [{"name": "sessions"}, {"name": "totalRevenue"}])
  - dateRanges: Array with startDate and endDate (e.g., [{"startDate": "2025-01-01", "endDate": "2025-01-31"}])
  - dimensionFilter: Filter by dimension values
  - metricFilter: Filter by metric values (applied after aggregation)
  - orderBys: Sort results
  - limit: Max rows to return (1-250000)

3. Check Dimension/Metric Compatibility

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_CHECK_COMPATIBILITY

to validate dimension and metric combinations before running a report.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_CHECK_COMPATIBILITY
Description: Validates compatibility of chosen dimensions or metrics
  before running a report.
Note: Call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to get the full schema for this tool.

4. List GA4 Accounts

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_ACCOUNTS

to enumerate all accessible Google Analytics accounts.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_ACCOUNTS
Parameters:
  - pageSize: Max accounts to return
  - pageToken: Pagination token
  - showDeleted: Include soft-deleted accounts

5. List GA4 Properties Under an Account

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_PROPERTIES

to list properties for a specific GA4 account.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_PROPERTIES
Parameters:
  - account (required): Account resource name (format: "accounts/{account_id}")
  - pageSize: Max properties (1-200)
  - pageToken: Pagination token
  - showDeleted: Include trashed properties

6. Get Available Dimensions and Metrics

Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_GET_METADATA

to discover all available fields for building reports.

Tool: GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_GET_METADATA
Description: Gets metadata for dimensions, metrics, and comparisons
  for a GA4 property.
Note: Call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to get the full schema for this tool.

Common Patterns

Discover then report: Use

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_ACCOUNTS

to find account IDs, then

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_LIST_PROPERTIES

to find property IDs, then

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_RUN_REPORT

to pull data.

Validate before querying: Use
```
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_CHECK_COMPATIBILITY
```
to validate dimension/metric combinations before running reports to avoid 400 errors.

Campaign performance: Run reports with dimensions like

sessionCampaignName

sessionSource

sessionMedium

and metrics like

sessions

activeUsers

totalRevenue

Ads link discovery: Use
```
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ANALYTICS_ADMIN_PROPERTIES_GOOGLE_ADS
```
to find which Google Ads accounts are linked to each GA4 property.
Field discovery: Use
```
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_GET_METADATA
```
to list all available dimensions and metrics before constructing complex reports.

Known Pitfalls

Dimension/metric compatibility: The GA4 API has strict compatibility rules. Not all dimensions can be combined with all metrics. Demographic dimensions (e.g.,
```
userAgeBracket
```
,
```
userGender
```
) are often incompatible with session-scoped dimensions/filters (e.g.,
```
sessionCampaignName
```
,
```
sessionSource
```
).
dateRange
is NOT a dimension: Do not include
```
dateRange
```
in the dimensions array. Use
```
date
```
,
```
dateHour
```
,
```
year
```
,
```
month
```
, or
```
week
```
instead.
exits
is NOT valid: Neither
```
exits
```
as a dimension nor as a metric is valid in GA4.
Property ID format: Must be
```
properties/{numeric_id}
```
(e.g.,
```
properties/123456789
```
). Do not use Google Account IDs (long OAuth IDs).
Account ID format: Must be
```
accounts/{numeric_id}
```
where the numeric ID is 6-10 digits.
Filter separation: Use
```
dimensionFilter
```
only for dimension fields and
```
metricFilter
```
only for metric fields. Mixing them will cause errors.
Max 9 dimensions and 10 metrics per report request.
