What authentication methods are available?

Three options: OAuth (recommended — no API keys needed), API key via Bearer token header as a fallback, or the mcp-remote bridge for clients that only support stdio transport. All methods connect to the same MCP endpoint.

MCP Conversation Example

You: Which campaigns had the biggest ACOS jump in the last 7 days?

Assistant: 3 campaigns drove 82% of the ACOS increase. CPC rose after bid updates while CVR stayed flat. I can break this down by brand and keyword.

Works in Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, and any MCP-compatible client.

Set Up in 3 Steps

Create an Account

Add the MCP Server URL

Most MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, and others) let you add a remote server by URL. Just enter:

https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp

Your client will walk you through the OAuth login to authorize access.

Start Querying

Ask your AI client questions about campaigns, keywords, bids, and performance. MAP handles the data normalization and your AI gets structured, clean results.

What You Can Do Through MCP

Query Campaign Performance

Pull spend, sales, ACOS, ROAS, impressions, and clicks for any campaign or date range. Broken down by ad group, keyword, or targeting.

Analyze Keywords

Find which keywords drive sales, which waste spend, and get new keyword suggestions based on search term reports.

Get Bid & Budget Recommendations

See data-backed bid adjustments and budget allocation suggestions across your campaigns.

Multi-Account Brands

Organize multiple ad accounts under brands. Switch between clients in conversation and compare performance across your portfolio.

Browse Recommendations

MAP scans your accounts daily and surfaces optimization opportunities. Browse them through your AI client and decide which to act on.

Track Experiments

How Writes Work

Read-only is the default. If you want the AI to make changes, you opt in during OAuth, and you can switch it off later per integration.

Once writes are on, the MCP server:

Confirms every change with you in the AI client before it goes to Amazon.
Logs each write to a ChangeSet record with the tool name, the field that changed, and the before-and-after values.
Lets you keep some integrations read-only while others have writes enabled.

What you can write today on the hosted endpoint:

Sponsored Products: campaigns, ad groups, keywords, negatives, product ads, targets.
Sponsored Brands: campaigns, ad groups, keywords, negatives.
Amazon DSP: campaigns, ad groups, targets.
Selling Partner: listing updates (title, bullets, description, search terms) and review requests. Details.

About 25 write tools in total. Amazon Marketing Cloud is read-only for campaign edits today. More on AI-driven editing.

MCP Server Connection

Server URL

Enter this URL in your MCP client's "Add Remote Server" or "Add Custom Connector" option. Your client will handle the OAuth login automatically.

https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp

No API keys needed. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, and any MCP client that supports remote servers.

Advanced: JSON Configuration

If your client requires a JSON config file instead of a URL, use one of these options.

Streamable HTTP with OAuth (recommended)

Your client handles login automatically — no API keys to manage.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP with API Key

Generate an API key on the Integrations page and pass it as a Bearer token.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

stdio via mcp-remote

For clients that only support stdio transport. Uses the mcp-remote bridge.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hosted Endpoint vs. the Open-Source Repo

The amazon-ads-mcp-server package on GitHub is a thin relay. It forwards your calls to our hosted server, so you still sign in with a Marketplace Ad Pros account, but the free tier is enough to use it. No paid plan required to read.

Either way, https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp is the endpoint doing the work. Whether your AI client points at the package or at the URL directly, you get the same surface:

Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display.
Amazon DSP: advertisers, campaigns, ad groups, targets, creatives.
Selling Partner: listings, orders, inventory, catalog lookups, listing updates, review requests. Seller Central MCP details.
Brand Analytics reports.
Listing Quality Audit (12 checks).
Recommendations and experiment tracking from the MAP optimization engine.

Some surfaces are gated by plan tier. Amazon Marketing Cloud is included on Boost and Dominion, and on preview for other plans through December 31, 2026. TikTok Ads is in development and not yet available to customers. If you want to hear when it opens up, send a note.

How Fresh the Data Is

Reports pull on a regional schedule, so the data lines up with your business hours. Americas East at 03:11 UTC, Americas West at 08:01 UTC, Asia at 15:01 UTC, Europe at 23:01 UTC. Most reports finish landing within four to six hours of the trigger. Anything still pending after 24 hours gets retried automatically.

Amazon's ad attribution keeps moving for about 14 days as conversions backfill. Recent days in your queries will shift a little until that window closes. We don't smooth or average it. You see what Amazon currently has.

For Amazon Marketing Cloud, the v1 report catalog runs automatically on a weekly cadence once your instance is connected. AMC is in open beta on every plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI clients connect to external data sources. Marketplace Ad Pros runs an MCP server that connects your AI client to your Amazon Ads data: campaigns, keywords, bids, performance metrics, and recommendations. Read-only by default. You can opt in to write access during OAuth.

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT (Plus, Team, and Pro), OpenClaw, n8n, and any client that supports the MCP standard. The list keeps growing as more tools adopt the protocol.

Three options: OAuth is recommended — your client handles login and you don't need to manage API keys. If OAuth isn't working with your client, use an API key via Bearer token header as a fallback. For clients that only support stdio transport, use the mcp-remote bridge. All methods connect to the same endpoint at https://app.marketplaceadpros.com/mcp.

Read-only by default. Writes are opt-in during OAuth, can be disabled per integration, and every change is confirmed first and logged to a ChangeSet record. See How Writes Work above for the full list of write tools, and AI-driven editing for the longer story.

Connecting your Amazon Ads accounts is free. After that, a $20 two-week trial gives you full access. AI Connect starts at $10/week for MCP data access in any supported client. Optimization plans with daily recommendations start at $149/month.
