# Start the server (for MCP clients)
adsense-mcp run

Prerequisites

1. Create Google Cloud OAuth Credentials

You need to create your own OAuth credentials in Google Cloud Console:

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select an existing one
3. Enable the AdSense Management API:
   • Go to "APIs & Services" → "Library"
   • Search for "AdSense Management API"
   • Click "Enable"
4. Create OAuth credentials:
   • Go to "APIs & Services" → "Credentials"
   • Click "Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
   • Choose "Desktop application"
   • Name it (e.g., "AdSense-MCP")
   • Click "Create"
5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret
6. Add test users (required while app is in testing mode):
   • Go to "APIs & Services" → "OAuth consent screen"
   • Scroll to "Test users" section
   • Click "Add users"
   • Add the Google account email(s) you'll use to authenticate
   • Click "Save"

Note: While your app's publishing status is "Testing", only test users can authenticate. You can add up to 100 test users.

2. Configure AdSense-MCP

Run the init command and enter your credentials:

adsense-mcp init

This will:

• Prompt for your Client ID and Client Secret
• Open a browser for Google authentication
• Store your refresh token securely in the OS keychain

CLI Commands

adsense-mcp init

Set up OAuth authentication and select default account.

# Interactive setup
npx adsense-mcp init

# Set specific default account
npx adsense-mcp init --account pub-1234567890123456

# Use service account (advanced)
npx adsense-mcp init --service-account /path/to/key.json

adsense-mcp doctor

Verify your setup and check account health.

npx adsense-mcp doctor

adsense-mcp run

Start the MCP server (typically called by your MCP client).

# Use default account
npx adsense-mcp run

# Use specific account
npx adsense-mcp run --account pub-9876543210987654

# Verbose logging
npx adsense-mcp run --verbose

Multi-Account Support

If you have multiple AdSense accounts, you can:

1. Select default during init
2. Override with --account flag
3. Use adsense_list_accounts tool to see all accounts
4. Pass accountId parameter to any tool

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.config/adsense-mcp/:

• config.json - Default account and settings
• tokens.json - OAuth refresh token (encrypted)
• cache.sqlite - Report cache for faster responses

Security

• Read-only access - This server only requests adsense.readonly scope
• Secure token storage - Tokens are encrypted using OS keychain (via keytar)
• Local only - All data stays on your machine
• No telemetry - We don't collect any usage data

Rate Limits

The AdSense API has strict rate limits (100 requests/minute). This server:

• Caches responses intelligently (5min-24hr based on data type)
• Implements exponential backoff for retries
• Tracks request rates to avoid hitting limits

Troubleshooting

"No tokens found" error

Run npx adsense-mcp init to set up authentication.

"Rate limit exceeded" error

Wait a minute and try again. The server will automatically retry with backoff.

"Account not found" error

Make sure you've selected a valid account during setup. Run npx adsense-mcp doctor to see available accounts.
