Using AdsCove in Gemini CLI

AdsCove Product & Engineering · Last reviewed July 10, 2026

Available · MCP

Gemini CLI supports remote MCP over HTTP. Add AdsCove to its settings with the httpUrl key and a Bearer header.

Connection details

Everything the connection needs, in one place — copy any line into your client or your agent:

Endpoint (MCP):  https://adscove.com/api/mcp
Transport:       Streamable HTTP
Auth (option A): HTTP header  Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key   (key from console -> Keys)
Auth (option B): OAuth 2.1    (if the client supports remote-MCP OAuth; no key needed)
REST fallback:   POST https://adscove.com/api/v1/tools/{tool_name}   with the same Bearer header
Full catalog:    https://adscove.com/api/mcp?tools=full   (optional; default endpoint is faster and includes run_adscove_tool)
Verify tool:     list_connections   (free, read-only)

Setup steps

1. Generate an API key
2. Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json, add the block below (create the file if missing)
3. Restart gemini; run /mcp to see the server and its tools

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adscove": {
      "httpUrl": "https://adscove.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Or: hand it to your AI agent

Don't want to configure it yourself? Paste the block below into the AI agent you're using (Claude, Cursor, an MCP agent, etc.) — it contains everything needed to set up the connection. Replace sk_live_MY_KEY with the key you generated.

Configure Gemini CLI to use the AdsCove MCP server: edit ~/.gemini/settings.json and add under mcpServers a server named 'adscove' with "httpUrl": "https://adscove.com/api/mcp" and header Authorization: Bearer sk_live_MY_KEY. Restart, then run /mcp and call list_connections.

Verify

Run /mcp to list tools, then ask: "check my platform connection status".

What you can do once connected

Check the business report, compare platform ROAS against real Shopify orders, create paused ad drafts, submit budget changes — every write needs your confirmation. Try: “Which ads lost money in the last 7 days?”
