Why burn-r8 + Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop brings Anthropic's Claude model to a native desktop application with MCP server support. Adding burn-r8 gives you conversational access to 65 Google Ads tools, from account audits to campaign launches. You can install burn-r8 through the Claude Marketplace for a one-click setup, or add it manually through the MCP settings panel. Every tool call runs through burn-r8's hosted proxy with encrypted credentials and usage metering, so there is nothing to install locally and no developer token required.
