Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"amazonads": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/amazonads-mcp/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"AMAZON_ADS_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
"AMAZON_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
"AMAZON_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token",

API Coverage
This server currently supports:
Sponsored Products: Full support for campaigns, keywords, and product ads
Sponsored Brands: Campaign management (partial support)
Sponsored Display: Campaign management (partial support)
Reporting: Basic performance metrics (simplified implementation)
Important Notes
Rate Limiting: The Amazon Ads API has rate limits. The client does not currently implement rate limiting logic.
Reporting API: The
get_campaign_performancetool uses a simplified implementation. For production use, you should implement the full async reporting flow:Create report request
Poll for report completion
Download and parse report
Error Handling: API errors are returned to the caller. Ensure proper credential configuration to avoid authentication errors.
Regions: Make sure to set the correct region (NA, EU, FE) based on your Amazon Ads account.
Security
Never commit your
.envfile or expose API credentialsRefresh tokens should be stored securely
Consider implementing credential rotation for production use

Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or lifecycle stage: profiles, campaigns, keywords, product ads, and report retrieval. The only potentially related pair is get_campaign_performance and get_report, but their descriptions clearly separate report request creation from report status/download.
Tool names consistently follow a verb_noun pattern using snake_case, with get_ for retrieval and create/update/archive for mutations. The consistent naming makes the tool set easy to scan and predict.
Nine tools is a well-scoped size for an Amazon Ads management server. Each tool maps to a meaningful operation, and the set feels neither bloated nor too thin.
The server covers the core campaign management workflow: viewing profiles, listing/creating/archiving campaigns, retrieving keywords and product ads, updating bids, and fetching performance reports. Some minor gaps exist, such as no direct way to update campaign budgets or status beyond archiving, but agents can still accomplish the primary intended tasks.
