About Pipeboard
Pipeboard is a connector platform that exposes the major ad networks (Google, Meta, TikTok, Snap, Reddit) to AI assistants over MCP. You authorize your ad accounts once at Pipeboard, and it reads campaign data through the official platform APIs without holding your platform passwords.
clariBI reaches Pipeboard's Google Ads endpoint through OAuth: campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and performance metrics such as spend, clicks, and conversions. clariBI already ships a native Google Ads data source, so treat Pipeboard as a second route to the same numbers, useful when your accounts already live in Pipeboard. clariBI reads only; it never changes a campaign.

What clariBI can read
When you connect, clariBI lists the tools the Pipeboard Google Ads endpoint advertises and keeps the read-only ones: reading campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and performance metrics. Pipeboard also exposes campaign-management tools; those write actions are filtered out so the connector stays analytical.
Pipeboard is one of 86 apps in the clariBI MCP catalog. See the catalog
What you can chart
- Spend, clicks, and conversions by campaign over time
- Cost per conversion by ad group
- Keywords spending budget without converting
- Impression share and click-through rate trends
- Top campaigns by conversion volume in a period
How to connect Pipeboard
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources > Add Data Source > MCP Servers tab. Find Pipeboard in the catalog and click Connect. If you would rather connect Google Ads directly, the native Google Ads source is in the same Add Data Source flow.
Authorize with Pipeboard (OAuth)
A Pipeboard sign-in opens in your browser. Approve the read access to the Google Ads accounts you linked at Pipeboard. clariBI uses Dynamic Client Registration, so there is no Pipeboard app to set up, and credentials are stored encrypted.
Ask questions, get dashboards
clariBI surfaces spend, clicks, conversions, and cost per conversion. Ask "Which campaigns spent the most last week?" and clariBI reads Google Ads through Pipeboard alongside your revenue and analytics data.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits. The AI decides which Pipeboard tools to call, totals are computed from the rows they return, and the AI writes the explanation.
- "Which Google Ads campaigns actually drove paying customers, not just conversions?"
- "Where does paid-search spend send traffic that bounces?"
About the Pipeboard connector
How is this different from clariBI's native Google Ads source?
Both read the same Google Ads metrics. The native source connects your Google Ads account directly over OAuth; the Pipeboard connector routes through Pipeboard, which is handy if your ad accounts are already authorized there. Pick whichever fits how your team manages ad access. You do not need both.
Do I need to register an app with Pipeboard?
No. clariBI uses Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so the connection credentials are issued at connect time. You do authorize your ad accounts inside Pipeboard first.
Can clariBI change my campaigns or budgets?
No. Pipeboard exposes campaign-management tools, but the catalog's read-only heuristic filters every write action out. clariBI reads campaigns, keywords, and performance; it never creates, edits, or pauses anything.
Which clariBI plans include Pipeboard?
Pipeboard needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. MCP apps are not part of the Free or Lite plans.
