Let’s dive in.
You Need MCP to Connect Claude with Amazon
Claude needs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to securely access live data from external tools, such as Amazon Seller Central. MCP is a program designed for AI applications that acts as the bridge between your seller account and Claude. It is the connector that enables Claude to fetch the required data from the haystack of Seller Central reports.
While Amazon doesn’t offer a dedicated Claude MCP, several other platforms do. Among the most reliable MCP options for connecting Claude to your Amazon Seller account are Porter, Seller Labs, Windsor.ai, Adzviser and Supermetrics.
You also need a Claude Pro subscription to have access to the MCP connector feature from the Claude Code and Desktop app. If you want web-only access, the free Claude plan works just fine. Once the MCP connection is live, your Seller Central data becomes available inside Claude.

Connect Claude to Seller Account with Porter
It’s easy to connect Claude to Amazon Seller Central using Porter’s MCP connection. Here’s the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Create a Porter account
Head to Porter and sign up for a new account. The free tier works well to get started, and no credit card is needed to try it.
Step 2: Connect your Amazon Seller Central account
In your Porter account, click Create, choose Claude as the destination, and select Amazon Seller Central as the source. Sign in to your Amazon account to grant access, and choose which seller account you want Claude to query.
Step 3: Copy the Porter MCP connector URL
Once your Amazon Seller account is linked, you’ll get the URL for the Claude connection. Claude will use that link to read your Seller Central data via Porter, so keep it handy.
Step 4: Open the connectors panel in Claude
In a new tab, open Claude and click the + icon in the chat input to open the tools menu. Hover over Connectors to select “Add connector,” and then click “Add custom connector.”

Step 5: Add the Porter connector
In the box that opens, give the connector an identifiable name (such as “Porter”). Then, paste the MCP URL you copied from your Porter account earlier.
Leave the advanced settings alone.
Then, click the Add button.
Step 6: Authorise the connection
Claude will open a sign-in window to authorise the connection from Porter. Just approve access between your Porter account and Claude, and the connector will show as active. Once it’s live, the connection stays in the background.
You simply have to ask Claude what you need to know.
Step 7: Test the connection
Now, open a new chat in Claude and ask something about your Amazon Seller Central account. Something as simple as “Show me today’s Amazon sales” will do.
If your numbers show up alright, you’re all set and ready to dig deeper.

What Can You Do with Claude and Amazon Seller Central
Porter pulls live data straight from Amazon’s API, so Claude sees real-time data current to within minutes. The connection is read-only by default, meaning it can look at your orders, inventory and sales, but it won’t make any changes.
When the MCP connection is ready, Claude becomes a business analyst sitting right inside your Amazon business. Here are a few things Claude can help you with in Amazon Seller Central:
Catch problems before they cost you.
Instead of checking Seller Central every morning, you can ask Claude to flag sales dips or sudden spikes in returns every day. You’ll get the answer in seconds instead of digging through tabs for a precious hour.
Plan ahead with inventory.
Claude can also help you with inventory management. Ask it to project when a SKU will run out based on recent sales trends. And you can reorder before you lose sales to a stockout.
Build reports without spreadsheets.
Weekly performance summaries, inventory health checks, or a quick rundown for a client can all happen within a Claude chat. Amazon’s API sends real numbers from your account as and when asked.
Compare Amazon against the rest of your business.
If you’re also running ads or selling on other channels, Claude can be connected to those sources, too. So you can ask questions like how Amazon’s sales stack up against Shopify’s.
Spot your best opportunities.
With Claude connected, you can also identify opportunities for growth early on. You can just ask which ASINs are outperforming the rest, or which products have strong sales, so you know where to double down.
