Pass country as one of these codes (default US). Text comes back in the marketplace's language, prices in its currency.

The United Kingdom is GB, not UK.

Quickstart: MCP server

Gives Claude and other MCP clients four tools: search_products, get_product, get_reviews, get_best_sellers.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "amazon-data-api-mcp"],
      "env": { "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "your-rapidapi-key" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add amazon-data -e RAPIDAPI_KEY=your-rapidapi-key -- npx -y amazon-data-api-mcp

FAQ

Is it free? The free plan on RapidAPI is 500 requests a month. RapidAPI asks for a card even on free plans. Pro is $15/month for 15,000 requests. Plans are hard limits.

Why is top_reviews empty for US? Amazon shows no review text to logged-out visitors on amazon.com, so top_reviews is always [] for US. The rating, star breakdown, summary and topic tags are still returned. Other marketplaces usually return 5 to 13 reviews. Full review lists need an Amazon login and are not available.

Why is a field null? Amazon does not show it for that product or marketplace. For example, price is null when a product is unavailable.

Is the data live? Each call reads Amazon's page at that moment, or returns a copy at most 10 minutes old (1 hour for best sellers). meta.fetched_at is when the page was read.
