Quick Start: agentcentral + Claude
Connect your Amazon seller data to Claude in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- An agentcentral account with a connected Amazon account
- Your agentcentral API key (create one from the dashboard, starts with
ac_live_; the Keys tab can turn it into a Claude connector URL) - Claude Code or Claude Desktop or access to Claude on the web
Need help? Let Claude walk you through it
Paste this into a Claude Desktop conversation to get guided through setup.
1. Copy your Claude connector URL
In your agentcentral dashboard, go to the Keys tab. Create a key if you do not already have one, then click Copy Claude URL.
That copied URL is already authenticated for Claude, so you do not need to paste your raw ac_live_... key into Claude.
Why this step matters
Claude's custom connector UI accepts a single MCP server URL. The Claude connector URL from the dashboard packages the auth into that URL so you can connect without editing config files or installing Node.
2. Add the custom connector
In Claude, open the official connectors UI:
- Open Customize > Connectors
- Click the + button, then Add custom connector
- Name it
agentcentral - Paste the Claude connector URL you copied from the dashboard
- Click Add
Anthropic's current guidance is to add remote MCP servers through Customize > Connectors. Claude Desktop will not connect to remote HTTP MCP servers placed directly in claude_desktop_config.json.
3. Enable it in a chat
Start a new Claude chat, click the + button near the composer, open Connectors, and toggle agentcentral on for that conversation.
If you use Tool access, leave it on Auto unless you specifically want on-demand approvals.
4. Verify the connection
Ask Claude to list the available agentcentral tools without calling any write actions. If the connector is active, Claude should enumerate tools across ads, inventory, finance, catalog, ranking, and fulfillment.
“What tools do you have from agentcentral?”
Troubleshooting
The connector won’t add
Make sure you pasted the full Claude connector URL from the agentcentral Keys tab, not the raw https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp endpoint. Claude’s custom connector UI does not let you manually attach anAuthorization header.
“Unauthorized” or connection errors
Create a fresh key in the dashboard, then click Copy Claude URL again. Rotated or revoked keys invalidate the old connector URL.
Tools not appearing
The connector must be enabled per conversation. In the current chat, click +, open Connectors, and make sure agentcentral is toggled on.
Slow responses
agentcentral queries pre-materialized BigQuery tables, so most responses return in under a second. If you see timeouts, check your network connectivity.
Start using tools
Try these examples:
Advertising
“Show me my top 10 campaigns by ACOS for the last 7 days.”
“Which search terms drove the most ad spend last week with zero sales?”
“Lower the bid on keyword ‘dog treats’ to $1.50 in campaign ‘Pet Supplies SP’.”
Inventory
“What’s my current FBA inventory for ASIN B0EXAMPLE?”
“Which SKUs have fewer than 14 days of cover?”
“Show me today’s sales so far.”
Rankings
“How did my keyword rankings change yesterday for ‘wireless earbuds’?”
“Show me rank positions with search volume for my top keywords.”

“Break down the fees for ASIN B0EXAMPLE.”
“What’s the profitability on my top 5 SKUs?”
