2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
9 stars9 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Google Ads MCP Setup Skill

Guide for connecting MiniAgent's MCP servers to real ad platform APIs.

Claude Code Setup

claude mcp add miniagent-google -- python -m miniagent.mcp.google_ads

Or add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "miniagent-google": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "miniagent.mcp.google_ads"],
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN": "your-token",
        "GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-secret",
        "GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token",
        "GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID": "1234567890"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting Credentials

Developer Token: Google Ads → Tools → API Center → Apply
OAuth Client: Google Cloud Console → APIs → Credentials → Create OAuth Client ID
Refresh Token: Run python -m miniagent.mcp.google_ads --oauth to start the OAuth flow
Customer ID: The 10-digit number in the top-right of Google Ads (no dashes)

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Fix
`AUTHENTICATION_ERROR`	Bad credentials	Check all 4 env vars are set
`AUTHORIZATION_ERROR`	No access to account	Verify customer_id, check MCC access
`DEVELOPER_TOKEN_NOT_APPROVED`	Token pending	Apply at Google Ads API Center
`RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`	Too many requests	Add retry logic, check quota
