Setup
npm ciUsage
Stdio mode (direct)
node dist/index.jsHTTP mode (via mcp-proxy)
mcp-proxy --port 8005 -- node dist/index.jsClaude Desktop configuration
Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"alexa": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/alexa-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"COOKIE_PATH": "/path/to/cookie.json"
}
}
}
}Authentication
On first run, the authenticate tool starts a local proxy server. Open the returned URL in your browser and log in to your Amazon account. The cookie is saved to COOKIE_PATH and reused for subsequent sessions.
If you already have a cookie (e.g., from a previous session or another machine), you can either:
Place the JSON file at
COOKIE_PATHSet the
ALEXA_COOKIEenvironment variable with the JSON content
Patches
This project includes a patch for alexa-cookie2 (applied automatically via patch-package on npm ci) that improves resilience when the Amazon user-data endpoint returns unexpected responses.

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action on the shopping list (add, complete, delete, list, update) or authentication/status. No overlap; even complete_items and update_item have clear different purposes (batch complete vs. individual update).
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., add_items, check_status). The style is uniform across all 7 tools, making them predictable for an agent.
With 7 tools, the server covers essential shopping list operations and authentication without being too sparse or bloated. The count is well-scoped for the domain.
The set covers all basic CRUD actions for shopping list items (create via add_items, read via list_items, update via update_item/complete_items, delete via delete_items) plus authentication. The only minor gap is the lack of a dedicated 'get single item' tool, but listing and name-based operations suffice.
