Why Codex needs structured Google Ads tools
Codex is useful when it can inspect real data and operate through typed tools. NotFair provides the Google Ads MCP surface so Codex can reason over campaigns and prepare account changes without brittle scripts or pasted exports.
Best first workflow for Codex
Start by asking Codex to run a wasted-spend review, identify search terms worth excluding, then draft a minimal negative keyword change with evidence and risk notes.
From analysis to approved write
The NotFair workflow is intentionally narrow: diagnose, rank opportunities, draft the smallest credible change, approve it, then review impact later. That maps well to Codex because the model can handle structured reasoning while NotFair constrains the mutation surface.
- Read account setup and recent performance
- Find search terms, keywords, or campaigns causing waste
- Draft one explicit write instead of a vague recommendation
- Review the change record before and after execution

FAQ
Short answers to the most common questions around this workflow.
Can Codex manage Google Ads through NotFair?
Codex can use NotFair's MCP tools to inspect Google Ads, recommend fixes, draft changes, and execute approved writes where the operator allows it.
Do I need to build my own Google Ads MCP server?
No. NotFair provides the Google Ads connection, MCP-compatible tool surface, OAuth flow, and write safeguards so you do not need to maintain your own integration.
What should I ask Codex first?
Ask for a wasted-spend and search-term review. It is narrow, measurable, and often leads to a safe first approved write.
