A side-by-side look at the Openai Ads MCP and Web Analytics MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Openai Ads MCP for marketing work as a local process; choose Web Analytics for marketing. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
