# Amazon Ads setup

> Connect Amazon Ads to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any MCP client, what to ask it once it is connected, and the 103 tools behind the answers.

[Guides](https://www.getmcpads.com/guides)

## For you

Regional profiles, Sponsored Products, Brands and Display campaigns, targeting, image/video assets, product visuals, reports and saved creative views.

> **Note** Connect Amazon and explicitly select the profiles your assistant may access. Tested with an Amazon test account. Product, brand and format eligibility are enforced by Amazon; DSP and AMC are separate products.

## Connect it

1. Open the dashboard and choose this platform.
2. Approve the consent screen. The gateway stores an encrypted refresh token, never a password.
3. Tick the accounts to expose. Nothing is readable until you do.
4. Paste the endpoint into your assistant, or use the shared one for every platform at once.

## What it can change

Create paused sponsored campaigns, groups and ads; manage budgets, bids, targeting, exclusions and creatives. Import image/video assets. Preview and confirmation required; native eligibility and moderation apply.

> **Warning** 73 write tools, absent from the tool list on the Free plan. Each one previews by default and needs a second call with confirm before anything changes.

## Scope requested from the platform

| Scope | Grants | Allows writes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `advertising::campaign_management` | Read Amazon Ads profiles, sponsored ads inventory, reports and visual assets; create and manage Sponsored Products campaigns, groups, ads, keywords, targets, budgets and bids with confirmation. Amazon grants campaign management access; selected-account and paid-plan restrictions are enforced by this gateway. | Yes |

## Reaching a tool that is not announced

```text
search_tools({ task: "..." })      find it
describe_tool({ name: "..." })     read its schema
run_tool({ name, args })           execute, with the same checks
```

## What will refuse you

- An account not ticked by the owner. Call `list_accounts` and use a `accountId` from it.
- A write on a plan without writes. The tool is absent from the list and refused if called anyway.
- A write without `confirm: true` returns a preview and applies nothing. That is not an error.
- A call to this platform on another platform's dedicated endpoint. The refusal names the URL that serves it.
