Leverage the CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server to enable ChatGPT to securely answer questions and take actions on your Google Campaign Manager 360 data for you.

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, launched in November 2022. Based on large language models (LLMs), it enables users to refine and steer conversations through natural language processing. ChatGPT's developer mode, available to Plus and Pro subscribers, provides full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for connecting to external data sources and tools.

CData Connect AI offers a dedicated cloud-to-cloud interface for connecting to Google Campaign Manager 360 data. The CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server enables secure communication between ChatGPT and Google Campaign Manager 360. This allows you to ask questions and take actions on your Google Campaign Manager 360 data using ChatGPT, all without the need for data replication to a natively supported database. With its inherent optimized data processing capabilities, CData Connect AI efficiently channels all supported SQL operations, including filters and JOINs, directly to Google Campaign Manager 360. This leverages server-side processing to swiftly deliver the requested Google Campaign Manager 360 data.

Step 1: Configure Google Campaign Manager 360 Connectivity for ChatGPT

Connectivity to Google Campaign Manager 360 from ChatGPT is made possible through CData Connect AI Remote MCP. To interact with Google Campaign Manager 360 data from ChatGPT, we start by creating and configuring a Google Campaign Manager 360 connection in CData Connect AI.

  1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection
  2. Select "Google Campaign Manager 360" from the Add Connection panel
  3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360.

    Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

    For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.

  4. Click Save & Test

With the connection configured, we are ready to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data from ChatGPT.
