CLI Commands

adsense-mcp init

Set up OAuth authentication and select default account.

# Interactive setup
npx adsense-mcp init

# Set specific default account
npx adsense-mcp init --account pub-1234567890123456

# Use service account (advanced)
npx adsense-mcp init --service-account /path/to/key.json

adsense-mcp doctor

Verify your setup and check account health.

npx adsense-mcp doctor

adsense-mcp run

Start the MCP server (typically called by your MCP client).

# Use default account
npx adsense-mcp run

# Use specific account
npx adsense-mcp run --account pub-9876543210987654

# Verbose logging
npx adsense-mcp run --verbose

Multi-Account Support

If you have multiple AdSense accounts, you can:

1. Select default during init
2. Override with --account flag
3. Use adsense_list_accounts tool to see all accounts
4. Pass accountId parameter to any tool

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.config/adsense-mcp/:

• config.json - Default account and settings
• tokens.json - OAuth refresh token (encrypted)
• cache.sqlite - Report cache for faster responses

Security

• Read-only access - This server only requests adsense.readonly scope
• Secure token storage - Tokens are encrypted using OS keychain (via keytar)
• Local only - All data stays on your machine
• No telemetry - We don't collect any usage data

Rate Limits

The AdSense API has strict rate limits (100 requests/minute). This server:

• Caches responses intelligently (5min-24hr based on data type)
• Implements exponential backoff for retries
• Tracks request rates to avoid hitting limits

Troubleshooting

"No tokens found" error

Run npx adsense-mcp init to set up authentication.

"Rate limit exceeded" error

Wait a minute and try again. The server will automatically retry with backoff.

"Account not found" error

Make sure you've selected a valid account during setup. Run npx adsense-mcp doctor to see available accounts.
