## Why a remote MCP server?

☁️ Fully hosted  
Most MCP servers run locally and expect terminal work.

Otto is remote: paste the URL in your client and go.

🔒 Safer by design  
OAuth-based access aligned with the MCP auth spec.

Tokens are scoped to this server, no local files exposed.

🎯 Built for real PPC  
Opinionated defaults based on established best practices

Fast setup, clean hygiene, fewer papercuts.

## Installation steps

### Install in ~60 seconds

#### Step 1
Add the server

Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector → paste: `https://googleads.hireotto.com/mcp`

#### Step 2
Connect

A Google sign‑in window opens. This is a quick handshake so Otto can recognize your workspace. Approve the prompt.

#### Step 3
Successfully connected

You’ll see “Successfully connected” in Claude (blue banner). That confirms Otto is reachable as a remote MCP server.

#### Step 4
Authenticate Google Ads

Try a plain-English prompt like **“Connect Google Ads”** or **“Authenticate Google Ads.”**  
Claude will return a link - **open it** and grant access. During this step you’ll also be asked to **select which Google Ads accounts** Otto can access.

When the auth page says you’re done, close that window and return to Claude. Otto is now fully set up.

#### Step 5
**Sanity check**

Ask for something simple like **“List my accessible accounts”** or **“List campaigns for 123‑456‑7890.”**
