## Configuration

### Simple .env Configuration (No YAML file needed!)

Create a `.env` file with your Google Ads API credentials as inline JSON:

```bash
# Google Ads API Configuration (JSON format - all in one line)
GOOGLE_ADS_CONFIG='{"client_id":"YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com","client_secret":"YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET","developer_token":"YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN","refresh_token":"YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN","login_customer_id":"YOUR_MANAGER_CUSTOMER_ID"}'

# Customer ID to query (without dashes)
GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID=1234567890
```

**That's it!** No separate YAML files needed. Everything is in your `.env` file.

### Example Configuration

```bash
GOOGLE_ADS_CONFIG='{"client_id":"963208150325-mmhibhl91g39ma9jsvrgacpleraq4nfu.apps.googleusercontent.com","client_secret":"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","developer_token":"i525AeFTAacFOtQtWBjY6g","refresh_token":"1//04OmKZJ58yhQaCgYIARAAGAQSNwF-L9IrfyrhE7W2zk00iStBE8dCRazdeUgXiMVxH-WIr9PEh6W3_RvjRKSZx-FH3l3Dun5vWOc","login_customer_id":"4850172260"}'

## Troubleshooting

### "GOOGLE_ADS_CONFIG environment variable is required"
- Make sure you've set the `GOOGLE_ADS_CONFIG` environment variable
- Check that the JSON is valid and properly escaped
- Ensure all required fields are present

### "Failed to initialize Google Ads client"
- Verify all credentials are correct
- Ensure refresh token is still valid
- Check that the JSON format is correct

### "Campaign not found"
- Verify the campaign ID is correct
- Check that you have access to the campaign
- Ensure the campaign hasn't been removed

### "Unauthorized" errors
- Refresh token may have expired - generate a new one
- Check that the developer token is approved
- Verify OAuth credentials are correct

## API Rate Limits

Google Ads API has rate limits:
- **Basic access:** 15,000 operations per day
- **Standard access:** 40,000 operations per day

The MCP server automatically handles rate limiting and retries.

## Security

- Never commit `.env` to version control
- Store credentials securely
- Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Rotate refresh tokens regularly
- The `.gitignore` file already excludes `.env` files

## Support

1. Check the [Google Ads API documentation](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start)
2. Review the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)
