02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package amazonads-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.cprice70 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Amazonads MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

1. Rate Limiting: The Amazon Ads API has rate limits. The client does not currently implement rate limiting logic. 2. Reporting API: The get_campaign_performance tool uses a simplified implementation. For production use, you should implement the full async reporting flow: - Create report request - Poll for report completion - Download and parse report
