AI client setup
Connect Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI MCP support is rolling out. The intended setup registers the SpendSignoff server from the terminal over OAuth — read-only first, drafts you approve in the SpendSignoff app.
Gemini CLI support is rolling out
Gemini CLI is Google's terminal agent. SpendSignoff support is on the way: the plan is a single command that registers the remote server and runs the OAuth 2.1 flow, scoped to mcp.read and mcp.draft.
The intended command is below. Once connected it reads your linked Google Ads and Meta accounts and drafts changes; approval stays in the SpendSignoff app.
Intended setup
Register the SpendSignoff MCP server:
terminal
gemini mcp add --transport http spendsignoff https://mcp.spendsignoff.com/mcpThree steps to live
Connect the client
Add the SpendSignoff MCP server to your client and finish the OAuth 2.1 handshake. The client requests two scopes only — mcp.read and mcp.draft. There is no mcp.approve scope to grant.
Authorize an ad account, read-only
OAuth into Google Ads or Meta. The first authorization is read-only: SpendSignoff reads spend, structure, and performance so the operator can find money. Reads are ungated on every plan, including Free.
Review and ship your first approval
The operator drafts a change — say, moving budget off a stalled ad set — and shows the before → after diff. You run the two-step Approve and push live → Confirm control in the SpendSignoff app. Only then does it touch the live account, with a signed audit entry and one-click rollback.
The client only ever holds read and draft
mcp.read and mcp.draft alone. It can read your accounts and draft changes. It cannot push a change live — approval happens in the SpendSignoff app, behind a two-step confirm, and is recorded in a KMS-signed append-only audit log.What works today
- Read campaigns, ad sets, budgets, bids, and performance across linked Google Ads and Meta accounts.
- Ask the operator for a plain-English read: pacing, wasted spend, top movers, anomalies.
- Draft budget reallocations, bid changes, and pacing fixes as reviewable diffs via
propose_change. - Approve or reject drafts in the SpendSignoff app — never inside the AI client.
