Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package amazon-scraper-api-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add amazon-scraper-api -e 'ASA_API_KEY=<your asa_api_key>' -- npx -y amazon-scraper-api-mcp@0.1.4
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "amazon-scraper-api": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [

amazon-scraper-api-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Amazon Scraper API. Plugs into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Continue, or any MCP-compatible AI client. Gives your model live Amazon product data as a first-class tool call.

What it unlocks

"Find me the highest-rated wireless earbuds under $150 on amazon.com, then check if they're cheaper on amazon.de"

That's one prompt. Without MCP, your AI can't fetch Amazon pages (Amazon blocks LLM browsing) and has zero recency for prices and stock. With this MCP server, it calls amazon_search + amazon_product directly and comes back with structured data from Amazon Scraper API.

Tools exposed

ToolWhat it doesTypical use
amazon_productFetch one product by ASIN or URL"get price + rating for B09HN3Q81F"
amazon_searchKeyword search with sort/filter"top 10 cast iron skillets under $50"
amazon_batch_createQueue up to 1000 ASINs for async scrape"scrape all 500 products in my catalog, webhook me when done"
amazon_batch_statusPoll a batch's progress"how much of batch xyz is done?"

Each returns structured JSON: title, price, rating, reviews count, availability, buybox, variants, images, bullets, categories, spec tables.

Claude Desktop setup

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "amazon-scraper-api-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ASA_API_KEY": "asa_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Tools appear under the MCP icon in the chat composer.

Cursor setup

Settings → MCP → Add server:

  • Command: npx -y amazon-scraper-api-mcp
  • Env: ASA_API_KEY=asa_live_...

Claude Code setup

claude mcp add amazon-scraper -- npx -y amazon-scraper-api-mcp
# then set ASA_API_KEY in the environment Claude Code runs in

Example conversation (Claude Desktop)

You: What's the current price of AirPods Pro 3rd gen on amazon.com?

Claude: [calls amazon_product with ASIN B09HN3Q81F]

The AirPods Pro 3rd gen are currently $199.00 on amazon.com, down from $249.00 (20% off). They have a 4.7-star rating from 58,214 reviews and are in stock, shipping from and sold by Amazon.com with Prime.

You: Compare that to the German Amazon listing.

Claude: [calls amazon_product with query=B09HN3Q81F, domain=de]

On amazon.de the same product is listed at 229.00 EUR. At today's exchange rate that's about $245, roughly 23% more than the US price. German listing ships from Amazon and qualifies for Prime delivery.

Why this vs. a generic "browse the web" MCP

Generic browser tools that try to load amazon.com typically get blocked (robot check) or serve a mobile-stripped page. This server routes every call through Amazon Scraper API, which:

  • Detects and retries robot/CAPTCHA pages through escalating proxy tiers
  • Returns structured JSON (typed fields), not HTML soup
  • Supports 20+ marketplaces with country-matched residential IPs
  • Handles batch (hundreds to thousands of ASINs) with webhook delivery
  • Built-in rate-limit backoff

Error handling

Errors are surfaced to the model as tool errors with a code field and a hint. The model then decides whether to retry or abandon the sub-task. You don't have to write error-handling logic yourself.

Common codes: INVALID_API_KEY, INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, RATE_LIMITED, target_unreachable, amazon-robot-or-human, extraction_failed, SERVICE_OVERLOADED. Full table: amazonscraperapi.com/docs/errors.
