Amazon Seller MCP Server Docs & AI Setup

Connect Claude - two steps, no keys

Add the connector - open the AMZ Vault listing in Claude's connector directory and click Connect (also findable in Claude under Settings → Connectors). Prefer manual setup? Add custom connector with our endpoint: https://www.amz-vault.com/mcp - same browser sign-in.
Sign in when prompted - Claude opens the AMZ Vault consent screen; approve, and the tools appear in every conversation.

Claude Code & other MCP clients

Clients that authenticate with a header instead of a browser sign-in (Claude Code in the terminal, custom MCP integrations) use a personal access token: in AMZ Vault, Settings → AI Connector → Generate token - scoped to your account, revocable any time, shown with the exact connect command. Keep the two paths separate: connecting through the Claude directory never needs a token.

Trouble connecting? support@amz-vault.com answers fast.

How writes work

stage_* tools save a proposal - a diff of exactly what would change - and nothing more. The change reaches Amazon only when confirm_staged_changes is called, and your AI client shows you the full change set before that happens. Read-only team roles can't stage or confirm at all: read-only means read-only, everywhere, including the AI connection.
