## 🔐 Authentication Setup

### Prerequisites

1. **Google Ads Account** with API access enabled
2. **Google Cloud Project** with Google Ads API enabled
3. **Developer Token** from Google Ads (can take 1-2 business days for approval)

### Step-by-Step Authentication Setup

#### Step 1: Get a Developer Token

1. **Sign in to Google Ads** at [ads.google.com](https://ads.google.com)
2. **Navigate to**: Tools & Settings → Setup → API Center
3. **Request Access** and wait for approval (1-2 business days)
4. **Copy your Developer Token** once approved

#### Step 2: Setup OAuth 2.0 Credentials

1. **Go to Google Cloud Console**:
   - Visit [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
   - Create a new project or select existing one

2. **Enable Google Ads API**:
   - Go to APIs & Services → Library
   - Search for "Google Ads API" and enable it

3. **Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials**:
   - Go to APIs & Services → Credentials
   - Click "Create Credentials" → "OAuth 2.0 Client ID"
   - Choose "Desktop Application"
   - Download the credentials JSON

4. **Generate Refresh Token**:

   **Option A: Use OAuth Playground**
   - Go to [OAuth2 Playground](https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/)
   - In settings, check "Use your own OAuth credentials"
   - Enter your Client ID and Client Secret
   - Add scope: `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords`
   - Follow the flow to get your refresh token

   **Option B: Use this helper script**:
   ```bash
   npx @hapotech/google-ads-mcp --generate-token
   # Follow the prompts to get your refresh token
   ```

#### Step 3: Configure Manager Account (For Agencies)

If you're managing multiple client accounts:

1. **Find your Manager Account ID**:
   - Sign in to Google Ads
   - Look for the 10-digit number at the top (format: XXX-XXX-XXXX)
   - This becomes your `GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID`

2. **Link Client Accounts**:
   - In Google Ads, go to Tools & Settings → Account Management
   - Send invitations to client accounts
   - Once accepted, you can manage them through the API

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### Common Issues and Solutions

#### Authentication Errors

**Problem**: `Error: Request failed with status code 401`
```
✅ Solutions:
• Verify your developer token is approved and active
• Check OAuth credentials (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
• Ensure the refresh token hasn't expired
• Verify Google Ads API is enabled in Google Cloud Console
```

**Problem**: `Error: Request failed with status code 403`
```
✅ Solutions:
• Check if you have access to the customer account
• Verify GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID is set for manager accounts
• Ensure your developer token has the necessary permissions
• Check if the account is properly linked in Google Ads
```

#### Manager Account Issues

**Problem**: "Cannot access managed account"
```
✅ Solutions:
• Set GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID to your manager account ID
• Verify the managed account is linked under your manager account
• Check account permissions in Google Ads → Account Management
• Ensure the managed account accepted your invitation
```

#### API Quota and Rate Limiting

**Problem**: `Error: Quota exceeded` or rate limiting
```
✅ Solutions:
• Google Ads API has daily and per-minute quotas
• Implement delays between requests
• Monitor usage in Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Quotas
• Contact Google support for quota increases if needed
```

#### Configuration Issues

**Problem**: "Google Ads MCP server not found" in Claude
```
✅ Solutions:
• Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
• Verify .mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json syntax
• Check file permissions and paths
• Ensure npx can access @hapotech/google-ads-mcp
```

**Problem**: Environment variables not loading
```
✅ Solutions:
• Use absolute paths for service account keys
• Quote environment variables with special characters
• Restart the application after setting environment variables
• Check that variable names match exactly (case-sensitive)
```
