Sync Campaign Data

The `list_sp_campaigns` tool drags your current Sponsored Products configurations directly into your editor. Copilot reads the live structure to help you write accurate API integration tests against real data. Moving to brand-level advertising, `list_sb_campaigns` fetches your Sponsored Brands setup. Your AI client reads this live context to generate TypeScript models that match Amazon's exact schema on the first try.

Inspect Ad Groups and Keywords

The `list_sp_ad_groups` tool exposes the organizational layer of your product ads. You can prompt your agent to check these groupings while writing bulk-update scripts. Targeting data comes through `list_sp_keywords` and `list_sb_keywords`. Copilot grabs the real search terms you bid on, allowing you to validate your local database seeding logic against production data.

Amazon Ads MCP Server Reporting

The `request_sp_report` tool initiates a new performance data export from Amazon. Your team can test their webhook listeners or polling functions using actual report generation events. Managing the account hierarchy starts with the `list_profiles` tool, while `get_report_status` handles the asynchronous waiting. The assistant wires up these endpoints in your code by looking at the live responses.

Setup guide

Set up Amazon Ads MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
