Ecommerce Data API — Claude Code MCP server: how to install and use
Connects AI assistants to Amazon market signals, keyword metrics, and competitor metrics. Useful for researching product niches and tracking demand.
claude mcp add --transport http ecommerce-data-api https://ecommercedataapi.com/mcpWhat Ecommerce Data API does
This server gives coding agents direct access to Amazon marketplace analytics without a merchant account. It pulls sales estimates, search volumes, review breakdowns, and trademark records across international Amazon sites. Because the sales figures come from predictive models based on public ranking metrics, they suit competitive research rather than exact financial accounting.
Instead of loading dozens of tools into context at once, the server uses dedicated discovery tools. The agent runs ecommerce_api_search to find the needed endpoint, inspects the schema through ecommerce_api_describe, and sends the request using ecommerce_api_call. Note that document OCR uploading stays restricted to regular REST endpoints and cannot run over this interface.
Authentication runs via browser sign-in over HTTP, keeping private tokens out of local config files. Headless systems can pass a bearer token in the authorization header instead. Balance verification happens inside the chat using the ecommerce_account tool.
