Built directly on the official Selling Partner API

The Amazon Vendor Central API, run by your AI agents.

The Amazon Vendor Central API is the vendor side of Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API): purchase orders, shipments, invoices, direct fulfillment, Retail Analytics and Data Kiosk. This MCP server is built directly on it. Authorize it against your own Vendor Central account and those operations are tools your AI calls from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP client.

Choose Managed MCP, which Kuudo hosts and operates, or run it in your own Private Cloud.

/ context budget

Amazon's tool definitions total 3,794 tokens. Kuudo's total 478.

Vendor Central uses the same SP-API stack. This shared benchmark was measured on Selling Partner endpoints, not vendor-specific tools.A smaller entry point leaves more context for the task. These totals measure each connector's full entry-point definitions. Clients such as Claude can load those definitions on demand, so the total is not necessarily paid at connection. How it was measured.

smaller entry-point definition footprint

Kuudo searches a prepared catalog locally, then loads the operation detail your agent needs. The catalog can grow without loading every operation into the conversation.

Measurement method and scope

Measured 2026-10-22 with cl100k_base. Counts include name, description and input schema, serialized as compact sorted JSON. They exclude conversation history, server instructions and protocol wrappers.

Amazon's definitions were transcribed from Claude's view, with its client-added name prefix removed. The platform may transform text. Kuudo's definitions were captured directly from its authenticated MCP endpoint.

Both connectors expose operation discovery. Claude also deferred Amazon's entry-point definitions in the measured session. This comparison measures their full definition footprint, not actual opening-context usage or billed tokens.

/ schema size

47 matched schemas. 48.1% fewer tokens with Kuudo.

Shared SP-API benchmark: these matched schemas cover seller operations, not vendor-specific purchase orders or invoices.Across 47 matched operations, Amazon's full definitions total 37,817 tokens; Kuudo's total 19,637. Both sides include the tool name, description and full input schema. These are the combined sizes of the measured set, loaded only when requested. How it was measured.

Kuudo returns a compact parameter summary by default. The full input schema is available when your agent needs more detail. The comparison above uses the full definitions on both sides.

Measurement method and scope

Measured 2026-10-22 with cl100k_base, using the same fields and serialization as the entry-point comparison. Each operation is counted separately. The totals are not a typical task or session cost.

The matched operations share their operation-name suffixes, top-level business parameter names and required business parameters. Amazon adds entityId and toolVersion. Nested constraints and execution equivalence were not tested; shorter descriptions and different schema detail contribute to the totals.

Amazon's schema results were transcribed from Claude's view; Kuudo's full schemas were captured directly. The two analytics metric tools and monthEndClosing had no exact match and were excluded. No seller operations were executed.

Global footprint

Every Amazon marketplace has its own quirks — different permissions, different regions, different rules. Kuudo handles the wiring so your chat just asks the right one.

Where it fits

Four ways to run Vendor Central without the portal.

AI agents for brand operations

Your brand team asks Claude or ChatGPT to acknowledge POs, confirm shipments, file invoices, or pull yesterday's sales — without anyone opening the Vendor Central portal.

Multi-brand agency desks

One place for every vendor code — the right marketplace every time, each code's access kept to itself, and the same workflow across every brand your agency manages.

Consulting and operator engagements

Stand up Vendor Central operations for a new client in days, not months. Same MCP, new vendor code, same AI workflows on day one.

Real-time analytics for brand and category teams

Build sales, traffic, inventory, and forecasting dashboards on Data Kiosk and Rapid Retail Analytics — the same MCP your agents use in production.

Coverage

One server. Wired into chat, code, workflow, and IDE.

Choose your deployment

The same Kuudo. Your choice of deployment.

Your AI, your knowledge, your rules. Choose Managed MCP for velocity or Private Cloud for infrastructure control. Start with either and move between them.

Managed MCP

Kuudo operates the MCP services. Connect your accounts and use the AI client your team already works in.

Explore Managed MCP Set up Amazon Vendor Central MCP

Private Cloud

Run Kuudo in your own cloud account, with control of the infrastructure. Agent Flow adds pipelines and a lake in your storage.

Explore Private Cloud Choose or change your deployment

Connect it in three steps

  1. 1Choose Managed MCP or Private Cloud above. Obtain the service URL and authentication details for that connection, and authorize the Amazon account you want to use.
  2. 2Add the service to your client with its connection details: as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT, a custom connector in Claude, or with claude mcp add in Claude Code. Follow the setup guide for your deployment and client.
  3. 3Ask a read-only question about the accounts or marketplaces you can reach. Name the account and marketplace before asking the AI to work.

Start with Managed MCP setup or your Private Cloud connection details, then follow your client's connection reference: ChatGPT, Claude and Claude Code.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

What is the Amazon Vendor Central API?
The vendor side of Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API). Amazon describes it as web service integration between Amazon and vendors for automating retail and direct fulfillment trading relationships, usable instead of EDI or alongside an existing EDI setup. This MCP server is built directly on it.
How does a vendor get Amazon Vendor Central API access?
A direct integration means registering a developer profile, creating the AWS resources and an SP-API application, requesting the roles that gate each operation, developing and testing against Amazon's sandbox, then releasing and maintaining it. With this MCP server the vendor authorizes access to its own Vendor Central account and the operations are already tools your AI can call.
What does the Vendor Central MCP handle?
Purchase order acknowledgements, cancellations and change orders, shipment requests and labels, invoices and transaction status, direct fulfillment orders, and the retail analytics reporting.
Can I automate Vendor Central purchase orders and catalog management?
Yes. Purchase order acknowledgements, shipments and invoices run through the Amazon Vendor Central MCP, and catalog work runs through the Selling Partner API operations vendors also use: Catalog Items, Listings Items and A+ Content, reached through the shared Selling Partner tools. One AI client works across both, with writes guarded by your policy.
Why does this matter more for vendors than sellers?
Vendor Central runs on deadlines you cannot miss. PO acknowledgements before the OTIF penalty, shipment confirmations before the truck leaves, reports before the call has already been made.
Does it work across several vendor codes?
Yes. It is built for brands, agencies running many vendor codes, and consultants standing up new clients, rather than assuming a single account.
Can I manage Vendor Central and Seller Central accounts together?
Yes. A brand that sells to Amazon as a vendor and on Amazon as a seller connects the Amazon Vendor Central MCP and the Amazon Selling Partner MCP side by side. One AI client then works across purchase orders, shipments and Retail Analytics on the vendor side and orders, inventory and listings on the seller side, with advertising alongside through the Amazon Ads MCP.
Can Kuudo automate Amazon PPC for a vendor with a large catalog?
Yes. Vendors advertise through the same Amazon Ads API, so the Amazon Ads MCP runs their campaigns, and the Vendor Central MCP puts purchase orders and Retail Analytics beside them. Skills audit campaign structure and pace budgets across the catalog, and each change stays a proposal until it is approved.
Which regions are supported?
North America, Europe, and the Far East. Access is vendor-scoped and authenticated with Login with Amazon.
Is direct fulfillment included?
Yes. Direct fulfillment orders, shipping, and inventory sit alongside the retail procurement packages.
Can agents write in Vendor Central, or only read?
Both, within the scope of the credentials you grant. Reads change nothing; a write, such as acknowledging a purchase order, applies your workspace policy first, which can require a person to approve it.

The bottom line

Your AI runs Vendor Central. You still run the business.

It acknowledges the PO before the penalty, confirms the shipment, files the invoice, checks it was accepted, pulls yesterday's sales — across every marketplace, around the clock. You set the limits and make the calls that matter. Brands grow without hiring more analysts. Agencies run more vendor codes without the context-switching. Consultants stand up a new client in days, not months.
