# Connect a Get MCP Ads source

Start connecting an advertising or analytics platform when the person asks: a new platform, another login to a platform already connected. Works on your own connected ad and analytics accounts. Needs platform.

Start connecting an advertising or analytics platform when the person asks: a new platform, another login to a platform already connected (another Business Manager or Google account), or reconnecting one connection that expired. Returns a one-time link to the platform's own consent screen, valid 10 minutes, for this person only. In the Ads cockpit the app opens it; in conversation, give the link as a button or link. After the person consents, call get_sources to see the accounts found, then select_ad_accounts. Owners and admins only. Agentik price: free.

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
