How to Use the Amazon Ads MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf Cascade run Amazon Ads report requests?

Cascade uses requestspreport to ask Amazon for the performance file. It then loops getreportstatus autonomously until the file is ready, delivering the raw data directly to your editor panel.

Q: Can I manage multiple advertiser accounts in Windsurf with Amazon Ads?

Yes, this MCP Server uses listprofiles to let Cascade query all your connected seller and vendor accounts. You tell Cascade which brand to target, and it filters the profile list to use the correct ID.

Q: How do I configure the Amazon Ads MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once saved, click Refresh in the Windsurf MCP panel to let Cascade auto-discover the eight tools.

Q: What Sponsored Product tools are available?

The server provides listspcampaigns, listspadgroups, and listspkeywords. These tools allow your agent to read campaign hierarchies and pinpoint exactly where your ad spend is going.

Let Cascade pull your Amazon Ads campaign data, request reports, and adjust keywords without leaving Windsurf.

Auto-optimize Amazon Ads keywords in Windsurf

This MCP Server uses `list_sp_keywords` and `list_sb_keywords` to let Cascade pull your active Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands search terms in real-time. Cascade reads these lists, spots underperforming terms, and prepares target adjustments instantly. You do not need to copy-paste keyword tables. Just tell Cascade to find keywords with zero sales this week, and it chains the search across both toolsets to give you a clean list of targets to prune.

Chain Amazon Ads reporting runs via Cascade

The server triggers performance data generation using `request_sp_report` and tracks its completion with `get_report_status`. Cascade handles this entire queue autonomously, waiting for the ready signal from Amazon before fetching the payload. Instead of manual polling, you tell Windsurf to generate yesterday's performance metrics. Cascade initiates the request, monitors the status in the background, and outputs the raw data right into your workspace.

Map advertiser accounts across profiles

This MCP Server exposes `list_profiles` to identify every advertiser account connected to your API credentials inside Windsurf. Cascade uses this tool first to establish the correct target profile ID before running any campaign actions. It prevents cross-account mistakes by forcing your agent to map out active profiles. Cascade checks the list, matches your target brand, and locks that profile ID for all subsequent campaign queries.
