Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is promobase/google-ads-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on google-ads-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything google-ads-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-ads-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 34 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Objective

You're working on google-ads-mcp project, it's a MCP(model context protocal) server that wraps the google ads api for LLM's interaction. You will use the tools to search, fetch web page contents to read the docs, and implement.

about google ads api

google ads offers it's own client sdk as well as REST api. Client one has python sdk, built on top of protobuf schema. REST api does not have any existing openapi specs but referenec docs. we decided to go with python sdk, since it's well maintained and does most of the heavy lifting, i.e. retries, pagination, etc.

resources

here are some high level resources:

  1. read the ./refs/googleads.llms.txt for resources related to google ads api
  2. use the ./refs/fastmcp.llms.txt for full list of docs on how mcp server works.
  3. use the cloudflare tools fetch urls via md/html, which is cleaner and easy to digest.
  4. you have access to google-ads-python which contains source code for the python sdk, as well as all the types generated from protocol buffers.

RULES

  1. we use uv for pagkage management, see pyproject.toml for details & configs.
  2. after changes run uv run ruff format .and uv run pyright
  3. Our goal is to provide 1:1 mapping to ALL google ads services, and wrap them to MCP tools for LLMs to interact with. You can use files to help you track progress. use the API reference or the google-ads python codebase to read all the services available, and implement it. For each service, implement tests and make sure they pass. The implementation should be FULLY typed, using generated types from google ads v20 services.

CURRENT TASK

Here is the current task you're working on. Prioritize this over everything else.

We're in the middle of creating MCP tools based on google ads api. We need to ensure 1:1 mapping and fully type safe. You will create a TRACKER.md, list down all the existing services in google-ads-python, and then audit the current progress and mark them. Start with everything as "not impl". Next, we will start one by one.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
