How to connect DV360 to Claude

Porter’s DV360 connector for Claude takes 3 steps, with no code or server. Pick your advertisers in Porter’s Google DV360 connector, then add one MCP URL to Claude as a custom connector and ask. The DV360 to Claude setup guide covers Claude Code. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard Claude uses to connect to tools.

What you need first

  • Before you start, you need a Google account with a DV360 user role on the partner or advertiser. You also need a free Porter account and any Claude plan. Under Google’s DV360 reporting roles, users with Reporting only, Read, Standard, Admin or Reporting only – limited can run reports.
  • Custom connectors work in Claude, Cowork and Claude Desktop on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. However, Free allows only one (Anthropic’s guide to custom connectors). Claude Code users also follow the same Porter guide.

  1. Step 1: Connect DV360 in Porter

    Sign up free at Porter, then pick Google DV360 as the source and sign in with Google. Pick the advertisers Claude should read, then pick Claude as the destination.

  2. Step 2: Add the connector to Claude

    In Claude, open “+” → Connectors → Manage connectors → “+” → Add custom connector. Then name it Porter Metrics, paste this URL and click Add:

    MCP URL
    https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp

  3. Step 3: Ask Claude about DV360

    Sign in with your Porter account to authorize Claude, then paste this first prompt:

    Prompt
    For my DV360 advertisers, show Impressions, Clicks, Click Rate (CTR) and Media Cost (Advertiser Currency) by Insertion Order for the last 7 full days.

02Use cases and prompts

What you can ask Claude

Here are 8 things to try, and each starts from a real problem. Each use case comes with a prompt to copy, the fields it uses from the DV360 fields list and who it’s for. Every prompt uses the exact labels a Bid Manager report shows, so Claude asks for the right columns.

Can Claude find DV360 line items that are under-pacing or overspending?

The ranked list replaces the weekly pacing report, so the worst pacers get your attention first.

Prompt
For this month, by Line Item and Line Item Status, show Line Item Budget, Line Item Pacing Percentage, Billable Cost (Advertiser Currency) and Impressions. List active line items with Line Item Pacing Percentage below 70% or above 110%, most under-paced first, with one line on what to check.

Fields used: Line ItemLine Item StatusLine Item BudgetLine Item Pacing PercentageBillable Cost (Advertiser Currency)ImpressionsAction (budget and pacing per insertion order): insertionorder_list

Can Claude find exchanges and inventory sources that sell unseen impressions?

Your next deal or exclusion decision starts from named exchanges and inventory sources instead of a blended CPM.

Prompt
For the last 30 days, by Exchange and Inventory Source, show Impressions, Active View: Measurable Impressions, Active View: Viewable Impressions, Active View: % Viewable Impressions, Media Cost (Advertiser Currency) and Media Cost eCPM (Advertiser Currency). List sources with at least 50,000 Impressions and Active View: % Viewable Impressions below 50%, sorted by Media Cost.

Fields used: ExchangeInventory SourceImpressionsMeasurable ImpressionsViewable Impressions% Viewable ImpressionsMedia Cost (Advertiser Currency)Media Cost eCPM (Advertiser Currency)

Can Claude check reach and frequency per insertion order?

You spot over-frequency per insertion order without a separate reach report, before the brand team asks why the ads feel everywhere.

Prompt
For the last 30 days, by Insertion Order, show Impressions, Unique Reach: Impression Reach, Unique Reach: Total Reach and Unique Reach: Average Impression Frequency. Flag insertion orders with Unique Reach: Average Impression Frequency above 5.

For: in-house brand and media managers · agencies · programmatic traders

Fields used: Insertion OrderImpressionsImpression ReachTotal ReachAverage Impression Frequency

Can Claude find creatives that are losing click rate?

Can Claude show what fees add to each insertion order?

The fee breakdown goes straight into the client report instead of manual math on top of a Bid Manager export.

Prompt
For last month, by Insertion Order, show Impressions, Media Cost (Advertiser Currency), Data Fees (Advertiser Currency), Platform Fee (Advertiser Currency), Total Media Cost (Advertiser Currency), Total Media Cost eCPM (Advertiser Currency) and Total Conversions. Add fees as a share of Total Media Cost and flag insertion orders where fees are above 25%.

Can Claude put spend next to GA4 sessions?

Cost per engaged session by campaign tells you whether the display spend brought anyone to the site.

Prompt
For the last 30 days, show DV360 Impressions, Clicks and Media Cost (Advertiser Currency) by Campaign, then GA4 Sessions and Engaged sessions by Session campaign where Session source / medium contains dv360 or display. Match the campaigns by name and show cost per engaged session.

For: performance marketers · agencies · in-house media managers

Fields used: CampaignImpressionsClicksMedia Cost (Advertiser Currency)Session campaignSession source / mediumSessionsEngaged sessions

Prompt
In advertiser {advertiser ID}, list line items with Active View: % Viewable Impressions below 40% and more than 50,000 Impressions in the last 7 days. Show me the list and pause them only after I approve.
Then ask

Can Claude create, pause or change campaigns through the connector?

Yes. Porter gives Claude reporting and campaign management in one connector, with 9 write actions:

  • create campaigns under an advertiser
  • create insertion orders with pacing and budget unit
  • create line items with type, bid strategy, bid amount and performance goal
  • pause, activate or rename campaigns, insertion orders and line items
  • delete campaigns, insertion orders and line items

How fresh is the data, and how far back?

Porter runs a report when you ask. DV360 updates impressions and clicks every 3–4 hours, while conversions update about every 6 hours. It can still update a day's data for up to 31 days. Most data goes back 24 months, according to Google's DV360 data freshness and availability page.

06Security

Is it safe?

Yes. Claude changes nothing until you confirm, because the DV360 connector asks for your approval before writing anything. Every change is one of 9 Porter actions on campaigns, insertion orders or line items, and Google's own limits still apply to each one.

How approvals work

When Claude creates a campaign, it starts paused. Each completed change also costs one AI credit.

Deleting a campaign, insertion order or line item is permanent, so pause it when you might want it back. Bulk changes count one credit per change, and failed tasks are free.

Google also limits writes to 150 a minute per advertiser, as Google's DV360 write quota states.

What the Claude connector needs from your account

Before you connect, you need a Google account with a DV360 user role on each partner or advertiser Claude should use. Porter signs in with Google (OAuth) for both reports and changes. Claude also needs the advertiser ID before it makes a change.

07FAQ

FAQ

Here are short answers to what programmatic teams ask before they connect DV360 to Claude.

What does DV360 stand for?

DV360 stands for Display & Video 360, the Google demand-side platform whose reports Porter brings into Claude. It was formerly DoubleClick Bid Manager and sits in the Google Marketing Platform. Advertisers and agencies use it to buy display, video, audio and connected TV ads programmatically, according to Google's DV360 overview.

Does Porter work in ChatGPT and Claude Code too?

Yes. The DV360 connector uses the same MCP URL in ChatGPT and Claude Code, so one Porter account serves both. Porter's guide to connect DV360 to ChatGPT covers the ChatGPT steps, while Porter's DV360 to Claude setup guide covers Claude Code.

Can I connect several DV360 advertisers or partners, like an agency?

Yes. Pick several advertisers when you connect Porter, and Claude can compare them, or look at each client alone, with Advertiser as a column. Each connected account is billed once on Porter's paid plans, so adding a client means adding one account.

I already send DV360 to Data Studio with Porter. Do I need to reconnect?

No. Porter includes the MCP in every plan, so the account behind your Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) reports can also answer in Claude. Add the MCP URL to Claude, then sign in with the same Porter account and ask. The DV360 connector for Data Studio still covers the dashboard side.

Can Claude see Floodlight and Campaign Manager 360 conversions?

Yes. Porter passes Floodlight conversions to Claude as Post-Click Conversions, Post-View Conversions, Total Conversions and Total Revenue. It also passes CM360 Post-Click Revenue and CM360 Post-View Revenue. Ask by line item or creative so you see which buys drive conversions. Note that DV360 updates them about every 6 hours.

Troubleshooting

Why don't Claude's numbers match DV360?

Ask in the currency the DV360 UI shows and use the same date field, and Claude's DV360 numbers through Porter should line up. Recent days can still shift, since DV360 keeps updating a day's data for up to 31 days (Google's report freshness page). Date and Date (UTC) also split days differently when the advertiser isn't on UTC.

Why does Claude return no DV360 data or no advertisers?

Reconnect DV360 in Porter with a Google account that has a DV360 role on that partner or advertiser, then ask Claude again. Claude returns no DV360 data when that role is missing or the Google grant was revoked. A connection made in another Porter company, where you have no role, still shows as connected with no data.

Why is DV360 reach empty, or a question failing?

Keep the range inside DV360's reach window and the line items above its minimum volume, and Claude gets DV360 reach through Porter (Google's reach and frequency rules). If a question fails, split it or test the filter and metric pair in DV360's report builder, since DV360 combines only some pairs.
