Agent Central vs Helium 10 MCP.

Agent Central and Helium 10's MCP both bring Amazon data into Claude and ChatGPT, but they start from different places. Agent Central connects the AI you already use to your Amazon Seller Central account and Amazon Ads directly, keeps your ad history for as long as you're connected, and makes previewed, logged changes to ads, listings, prices, and seller-managed inventory. Helium 10's MCP, according to its own guide and pricing page, brings Helium 10's own research tools, such as its keyword database, product research, and rank tracking, to Diamond subscribers and to other plans as a paid add-on.[1][2]

The practical differences are limits and fees. Helium 10's MCP guide says the MCP includes 1,000 calls a month on Diamond, shared with sub-users, and that reading or managing ads through it requires putting the Ads profile in Helium 10's Managed mode, which carries a 2% fee on that profile's ad spend even when no automated actions run. Agent Central is priced by monthly Amazon orders, from $39 to $159 a month with custom Enterprise pricing above that, with no fee on your ad spend and no monthly call allowance to manage.[1]
