How do I get my Amazon SP-API credentials?

You need to register a private application in the Amazon Seller Central (Partner Network > Develop Apps). You will get an LwA Client ID and Secret. You then self-authorize the app to get a long-lived Refresh Token.

Which region should I choose?

Select the region that matches your target marketplace: **NA** (North America - US, CA, MX, BR), **EU** (Europe - UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, etc.), or **FE** (Far East - JP, AU, SG).

Can I request PII data like customer names?

This MCP server uses standard SP-API tokens. Some PII data (Personally Identifiable Information) in orders requires a Restricted Data Token (RDT), which must be specifically requested in the API call and authorized in your app's roles.

Amazon Selling Partner + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Amazon Selling Partner MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
