Perplexity

Browse Advertiser Profiles via MCP Server

The `list_profiles` tool yanks your Amazon Ads account hierarchy straight into the chat interface. Ask Claude to map out your active advertisers, and it spits back the exact profile IDs required for subsequent queries. Down the stack, `list_sp_campaigns` and `list_sb_campaigns` fetch your Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands structures. Your agent reads these lists to understand your current ad spend allocation, saving you a trip to the sluggish Amazon console.

Analyze Bidding Targets

The `list_sp_ad_groups` tool exposes the structural middle layer of your advertising setup. Your AI client checks this data to figure out exactly how your product groupings map to your budget constraints. Drilling down further, `list_sp_keywords` and `list_sb_keywords` grab the actual search terms driving traffic. You can prompt Claude to compare keyword performance across both product and brand campaigns instantly.

Generate Performance Reports

The `request_sp_report` tool tells Amazon to compile a fresh data dump of your advertising metrics. Claude handles the initial API request and grabs the necessary report ID to track the job. Polling for completion happens through the `get_report_status` tool. Once the status shows as finished, your agent can process the resulting metrics to summarize your daily ad performance.
