Amazon Creators MCP Server

If you write product round-ups, you already know the boring part. You find the product on Amazon, copy the image, grab the price, paste your affiliate link, and hope the price hasn't moved by the time someone reads the post. Then you do it again for the next nine products. Its 6 documented tools cluster into items, read & search, format. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with affiliate, amazon and mcp apps and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Claude Code

claude mcp add houtini-ai-amazon-creators-mcp -- npx -y @houtini/amazon-creators-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "houtini-ai-amazon-creators-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@houtini/amazon-creators-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
