Cursor chat — Marketplace Ad Pros MCP
You: Pull last month's search terms with spend over $50 and no orders, then write a script that posts the list to Slack every Monday.
Cursor: 14 search terms, $1,286 in spend. I've added scripts/wasted_spend_report.py using the same query and a weekly schedule.

How do I connect Amazon Ads to Cursor?

Cursor connects to Amazon Ads, Seller Central, and Vendor Central through the Marketplace Ad Pros MCP server. Add one entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project) pointing at https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp, then sign in when Cursor opens your browser. Cursor registers itself, so there is no client ID or secret to paste. An API key sent as a Bearer header works instead of signing in.

Last updated: September 21, 2026. Setup steps follow Cursor's MCP documentation.

Setup in 3 Steps

Connect your Amazon Ads, Seller Central, or Vendor Central accounts to Marketplace Ad Pros first. Connecting is free.

1

Add the Server

Put one entry in your Cursor MCP config, globally or per project.

2

Sign In

Cursor opens your browser. Log in and choose which permissions to grant.

3

Ask or Build

Query your accounts in chat, or have Cursor write code against the data.

Step 1: Add the server to your config

Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make the server available in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a repository to scope it to that project. You can also add it from Cursor's settings, in the tools and MCP section.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marketplace-ad-pros": {
      "url": "https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Sign in

Cursor shows the server as needing login and opens your browser. Sign in to Marketplace Ad Pros, choose which permissions to grant, and the tools appear in Cursor's MCP list. No client ID or secret is involved — Cursor registers itself with us automatically.

API key instead of signing in

Create an MCP key on the Marketplace Ad Pros Integrations page and send it as a Bearer token. Read it from an environment variable so the key never lands in a file you might commit:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marketplace-ad-pros": {
      "url": "https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:MAP_MCP_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

With a key, the key type decides what the AI can do: MCP Read Only or MCP Read and Write.

What You Can Do in Cursor

Everything the Marketplace Ad Pros tools expose, in the editor where you already build.

Amazon Ads Analysis

Ask about spend, sales, ACOS, and ROAS across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and DSP.

Seller & Vendor Central Sales

Sales, units, sessions, and conversion rate from Seller Central, or ordered and shipped revenue, units, and glance views from Vendor Central.

Build Reports and Scripts

Turn a question into code in the repo you already have open: scheduled reports, alerting, exports, or a dashboard fed by your own queries.

Keywords & Search Terms

Spot wasted spend, harvest converting search terms, and compare organic Brand Analytics demand with your ad targets.

Manage Campaigns

With write access granted, update bids, budgets, keywords, and negatives. Write actions are recorded in an audit log. How editing works.

Per-Project Setup

Scope the connection to one repository with .cursor/mcp.json, or make it global. Agencies can keep a client's tooling in that client's project.

Example Prompts for Cursor

  • "Which Sponsored Products search terms spent over $50 in the last 30 days with no orders?"
  • "Write a script that emails me a weekly ACOS summary by campaign."
  • "Build a CSV export of yesterday's spend and sales per ASIN, and add it to this repo."
  • "Which ASINs have less than 30 days of FBA inventory but rising ad spend?"
  • "Chart TACoS by marketplace for the last 8 weeks using the data from the MCP server."

Frequently Asked Questions

Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make the server available in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project to scope it to that repository. You can also add it through Cursor's settings under tools and MCP.

Cursor registers itself with Marketplace Ad Pros automatically and opens your browser to sign in, so there is no client ID or secret to paste. Each person signs in with their own Marketplace Ad Pros login and grants their own permissions.

Not by default. Access starts read-only. If you sign in with OAuth, write permissions are unchecked on the consent screen until you grant them. If you use an API key instead, the key type you choose decides it: MCP Read Only or MCP Read and Write. Write actions are recorded in an audit log.

Yes. Create an MCP key on the Integrations page and send it as a Bearer token in the headers block. Read it from an environment variable rather than pasting it into a project's mcp.json, since a project file is easy to commit to a repository by accident.

Connecting your Amazon accounts is free. A $20 two-week trial gives you full access. AI Connect starts at $10/week. Optimization plans with daily recommendations start at $149/month. Your Cursor subscription is separate and billed by Cursor.
