Questions
- Do I need a Google Ads developer token?
- No. That's the whole point. The hosted version uses our developer token. You just connect your Google account via OAuth.
- What AI tools does this work with?
- Any MCP client. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and more. If it supports MCP, it works with burnr8.
- How is this different from the Google Ads dashboard?
- You manage your ads through natural language in your AI assistant instead of clicking through a complex UI. Faster audits, faster changes, no context switching.
- Can I self-host instead?
- Yes. burnr8 is fully open source. Clone the repo, add your own API credentials, and run it locally. The hosted version just removes that setup.
- Can burn-r8 accidentally break my campaigns?
- No. Every destructive action (pausing campaigns, removing keywords, changing budgets) requires explicit confirmation before it executes. New campaigns always start paused so you review before spending. And run_gaql_query is read-only and can never modify your account.
- Is my data secure?
- Your Google Ads refresh tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never store your Google password. You can revoke access from your Google account at any time.
- What happens if I hit my limit?
- Tool calls return a clear error. Upgrade instantly from the dashboard. No downtime, no waiting.
