# How to Connect HireOtto to Claude, ChatGPT, and Make

> Step-by-step setup instructions for adding HireOtto’s Google Ads MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Make.com, and other remote MCP clients.

HireOtto is a remote MCP server, so connecting it to your AI tool is a matter of adding a small JSON configuration block — there is nothing to install locally. Pick your tool below, paste the config, restart the application, and you are ready to manage Google Ads in plain language.

  <Tab title="Claude Web">
    Claude Web makes it super easy to add a custom connector.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the connectors page">
        Head over to:

        ```text theme={null}
        https://claude.ai/customize/connectors
        ```

        You'll see a '+' icon → Add custom connector.

        <Note>
          Free plan allows only one custom connector.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Add the HireOtto server url">
        Paste the following url. Give it a friendly name like **HireOtto – Google Ads MCP** and click **Add**.

        ```text theme={null}
        https://googleads.hireotto.com/mcp
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Click connect">
        A Google sign‑in window opens. This is a quick handshake so the server can recognize your workspace. Approve the prompt.

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

      <Step title="Ask Claude to connect Google Ads (one time action)">
        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** HireOtto can access.

        When the auth page says you’re done, close that window and return to Claude.

        HireOtto is now fully set up.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Sanity check (optional)">
        Open a new conversation in Claude and type:

        ```text theme={null}
        List my accessible accounts
        ```

        or

        ```text theme={null}
        List campaigns for <account id>.
        ```

        Claude should respond with a list of your accounts or campaigns.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="ChatGPT">
    ChatGPT supports MCP servers through 'apps'.

    * Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Enable Developer Mode (this is to allow adding custom servers) Once enabled, you'll see a 'Create app' button. Use that, paste the server URL, select `OAuth` as the Authentication and Create.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open settings">
        Head over to Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Enable Developer Mode.

        <Note>
          This is to allow adding custom servers.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create app">
        Once dev mode is enabled, you'll see a 'Create app' button.

        * Click on 'create app'
        * paste the server URL
        * add a name
        * select `OAuth` as the Authentication
        * and create.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Click create">
        A Google sign‑in window opens. This is a quick handshake so the server can recognize your workspace. Approve the prompt.

        Once completed successfully, you’ll see the server listed under Enabled apps. That confirms HireOtto is reachable as a remote MCP server.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Ask ChatGPT to connect Google Ads (one time action)">
        Try a plain-English prompt like **“Connect Google Ads”** or **“Authenticate Google Ads.”**

        ChatGPT will return a link - **open it** and grant access. During this step you’ll also be asked to **select which Google Ads accounts** HireOtto can access.

        When the auth page says you’re done, close that window and return to Claude.

        HireOtto is now fully set up.

        <Note>
          You need to stay in Developer Mode to use a custom server in ChatGPT.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the connection">
        Open a new conversation in ChatGPT and type:

        ```text theme={null}
        List my accessible accounts
        ```

        or

        ```text theme={null}
        List campaigns for <account id>.
        ```

        ChatGPT should respond with a list of your accounts or campaigns.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Make.com">
    Make enables MCP server via 'Make AI Agents' or Scenarios.\
    With agents, you'll see an option to add a MCP server right below the system prompt. With Scenarios, you'll need to add a MCP node.

    <Check>
      [Make.com](http://Make.com) already has the HireOtto server added in their supported servers list. So you don't even need the server url to get started.
    </Check>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Add the server">
        In the MCP modal, add a name and then 'select a server'.

        Search for `GoogleAds` in the dropdown. The server there is pre-configured HireOtto server. All you need to do is click Add.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Click Add">
        A Google sign‑in window opens. This is a quick handshake so the server can recognize your workspace. Approve the prompt.

        You’ll see a successfully connected message in Make. That confirms HireOtto is reachable as a remote MCP server.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Ask Make to connect Google Ads (one time action)">
        Try a plain-English prompt like **“Connect Google Ads”** or **“Authenticate Google Ads.”**

        The server will return a link - **open it** and grant access. During this step you’ll also be asked to **select which Google Ads accounts** HireOtto can access.

        When the auth page says you’re done, close that window and return to Make.

        HireOtto is now fully set up.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the connection">
        Open a new conversation in Claude and type:

        ```text theme={null}
        List my accessible accounts
        ```

        or

        ```text theme={null}
        List campaigns for <account id>.
        ```

        Claude should respond with a list of your accounts or campaigns.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Other MCP clients">
    Any MCP-compatible client that supports the HTTP transport can connect to HireOtto. Use the following details when configuring your client.

    **Transport:** HTTP

    **Endpoint URL:**

    ```text theme={null}
    https://googleads.hireotto.com/mcp
    ```

    Simply add the server and complete the handshake.\
    Once that is done, input a simple prompt like "authenticate google ads". This will return a link. Follow that to authenticate Google ads & select accounts that you'd like to access via the server.

    Run a simple sanity check such as "list my campaigns for \<account id>"

## Next steps

Once your AI tool shows a list of accounts or campaigns after the verification prompt, your connection is working.
