This is a **remote (hosted) MCP server** — Streamable HTTP transport. Point your MCP client at the endpoint below; there is nothing to install.

- **MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP):** `https://chatbot.amzscout.net/mcp`
- **Transport:** `streamable-http` (a legacy SSE endpoint is also available at `https://chatbot.amzscout.net/mcp/sse`)
- **Authentication:** send your AMZScout API key as the `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>` header (or `?key=<API_KEY>` in the URL). Get a key at https://learn.amzscout.net/amazon-product-api-for-ai-agents

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amzscout": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://chatbot.amzscout.net/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_AMZSCOUT_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

Unlike a traditional MCP server that simply exposes APIs, AMZScout combines live marketplace data with proprietary analytical algorithms developed specifically for Amazon research. Instead of returning raw marketplace data, it delivers structured marketplace intelligence that AI assistants can immediately use to answer Amazon-related questions more accurately.

Whether you're validating product ideas, researching competitors, discovering keywords, optimizing listings, or building PPC campaigns, AMZScout helps your AI make data-driven decisions based on real Amazon marketplace data - not assumptions.

## How It Works

Most MCP servers simply expose APIs and return raw marketplace data.

AMZScout adds an intelligence layer between Amazon marketplace data and your AI assistant.

AMZScout MCP data includes comprehensive Amazon product metrics, including estimated sales, revenue, pricing, profitability, listing quality, and competition-related data such as the number of sellers, seller types (FBA/FBM/Amazon), seller countries, and review counts. 

It also includes up to two years of historical price, sales, and revenue data, along with keyword metrics such as monthly search volume, cpc, and organic keyword rankings.

### Traditional MCP

The AI receives raw marketplace data and must interpret everything independently.

Before marketplace data reaches the AI, the built-in AMZScout Skill evaluates marketplace signals using proprietary analytical algorithms.

Instead of raw data, your AI receives structured marketplace intelligence, including:

- Product insights
- Market validation
- Competitor analysis
- Keyword opportunities
- Pricing insights
- PPC insights
- Actionable business guidance
