Connect burn-r8 to Claude Code and manage Google Ads campaigns, keywords, and budgets directly from your terminal. 65 tools, zero context switching.

Why burn-r8 + Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-native AI assistant built for developers who live in the command line. With burn-r8 connected as an MCP server, you get 65 Google Ads tools available directly inside your terminal session. Run full account audits, research keywords with real CPC data, launch new campaigns, and kill wasted spend, all without opening a browser or switching context. Your Google Ads credentials are encrypted at rest and injected per-request through burn-r8's hosted proxy, so you never need a developer token or local SDK setup.
