Alpative MCP vs Otto (Google Ads MCP)
Both are hosted MCP servers, with no API key, where the AI can act on campaigns. The difference lies in scope: Otto is centered on the Google ecosystem (Google Ads, Tag Manager, Search Console), while Alpative also covers social advertising and content publishing, with hosting in the European Union and per-client memory.

Otto in brief (and its limits)
Otto is a hosted MCP server that drives Google Ads in natural language, with a review before changes are applied. Its scope stops at the Google ecosystem, however: social advertising (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn) is only announced on the roadmap, and GA4 is still in beta. There is no free plan (a 14-day trial only), billing runs on credits, and neither per-client memory nor data location is documented.
