How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security91
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
  • HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
  • HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
  • The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 7496 tokens (~576/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management91
  • Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 2 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage99
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 97% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 14 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Install

How do I install the AMZScout Skill + MCP server?

AMZScout Skill + MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://chatbot.amzscout.net/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
amzscout_analyze_niche ~255

Market snapshot for an Amazon niche/keyword — top products by revenue plus computed aggregates (price/sales/revenue/review distributions, revenue concentration, brand spread). Pure data fetch (no AI analysis) — reason over the returned data yourself. How to use: judge niche attractiveness — demand concentration (revenueTop5SharePercent: high = winner-takes-all, low = fragmented/open), price bands and where the money sits, review counts as entry moats, brand dominance vs no-name spread, and standout products (high sales + weak rating/reviews = displacement opportunity).

NameTypeReqDescription
countinteger–How many top products to pull from Amazon (5–100).
filtersobject–Filter products by price / sales / revenue / reviews / rating
keywordstringyesNiche, category, or product search keyword
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_analyze_product ~288

Full raw data for a single Amazon product by ASIN — price, estimated sales/revenue, reviews, rating, listing quality, sellers, plus sales/price/revenue history when available. Pure data fetch (no AI analysis) — reason over the returned data yourself. How to use: audit the product like a sourcing analyst — demand trend & seasonality from sales history, pricing direction & margin risk from price history and FBA fees, competition from sellers/reviews, listing quality from LQS, then conclude whether a new seller should enter (GO / NO-GO and what it would take). Marketplace: if the user has not named a country / Amazon domain in this conversation, ask them once which marketplace they work on and reuse that code for every later call in the chat; do not assume the US. Called without `marketplace`, this tool fetches nothing and answers "MARKETPLACE NEEDED". Money is in that marketplace's local currency.

NameTypeReqDescription
asinstringyesAmazon Standard Identification Number
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_analyze_product_set ~300

Raw data across an explicit set of 2–100 ASINs — product rows plus computed aggregates (price/sales/revenue/review distributions, revenue concentration, brand spread). Pure data fetch (no AI analysis) — reason over the returned data yourself. To discover products from a keyword instead, analyzeNiche is the equivalent. How to use: treat the set as a mini-market — segment products into groups, spot where demand concentrates, flag outliers (price, sales, review anomalies), and summarize group-level signals. Marketplace: if the user has not named a country / Amazon domain in this conversation, ask them once which marketplace they work on and reuse that code for every later call in the chat; do not assume the US. Called without `marketplace`, this tool fetches nothing and answers "MARKETPLACE NEEDED". Money is in that marketplace's local currency.

NameTypeReqDescription
asinsarrayyes2–100 ASINs to fetch as a set (B0XXXXXXXX). 0/O-swapped prefixes are auto-corrected.
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_compare_niches ~246

Raw head-to-head data for 2–5 Amazon niches / category keywords — per-niche product sets plus computed aggregates (price/sales/revenue distributions, revenue concentration, brand spread). Pure data fetch (no AI analysis) — do the comparison yourself. For ASINs, compareProducts is the equivalent. How to use: weigh demand (total est. revenue/sales) against competition (review levels, brand concentration) and price levels per niche, then give a verdict on which niche is the better opportunity for a new seller and under what conditions.

NameTypeReqDescription
countinteger–Products fetched per niche (default 10).
keywordsarrayyes2–5 niches / category keywords to compare head-to-head, e.g. ["yoga mat", "resistance bands"].
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_compare_products ~304

Side-by-side raw data for 2–5 Amazon products by ASIN — price, sales/revenue estimates, reviews, listing quality, plus history when available. Pure data fetch (no AI analysis) — do the comparison yourself. For a single ASIN, analyzeProduct is the equivalent. How to use: compare demand (est. sales), revenue, review moat and rating, price positioning, listing quality, and history trends (growing vs declining), then give a verdict on which product is the stronger opportunity and why. Marketplace: if the user has not named a country / Amazon domain in this conversation, ask them once which marketplace they work on and reuse that code for every later call in the chat; do not assume the US. Called without `marketplace`, this tool fetches nothing and answers "MARKETPLACE NEEDED". Money is in that marketplace's local currency.

NameTypeReqDescription
asinsarrayyes2–5 ASINs to compare. Each must be a real Amazon ASIN (B0XXXXXXXX). 0/O-swapped prefixes are auto-corrected.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_find_by_brand ~225

List products under a specific Amazon brand. Pre-validates the brand name via cached AI check, then filters keyword-search results to rows whose `brand` field actually matches. On no-match, returns the brands that did appear in the keyword pool so callers can suggest alternatives. How to use: assess the brand's Amazon footprint — lineup breadth, price range, which products carry the revenue, and how strong its review moat is.

NameTypeReqDescription
brandstringyesAmazon brand name to search by
countinteger–How many products to return (1–100)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_get_keywords ~343

Amazon keyword / SEO / PPC data for either a single product (ASIN-scope — terms the product ranks for) or a niche/category (keyword-scope — search data around the term). Every keyword row carries search volume, average sales, CPC and trend; ASIN-scope rows ALSO carry this product's own placement for that term — organic rank + page, sponsored page, and relevance score (rows the product does not rank for are marked "not ranking"). Pure data fetch (no AI analysis). How to use: pick high-volume / low-competition terms for SEO and PPC targeting, use CPC as ad-cost pressure, sum search volumes to gauge niche demand, and for ASIN-scope check organic vs sponsored ranks to spot listing-optimization gaps. Marketplace: if the user has not named a country / Amazon domain in this conversation, ask them once which marketplace they work on and reuse that code for every later call in the chat; do not assume the US. Called without `marketplace`, this tool fetches nothing and answers "MARKETPLACE NEEDED". Money is in that marketplace's local currency.

NameTypeReqDescription
asinstring–ASIN-scope: keywords this product ranks for.
keywordstring–Keyword-scope: search data around this niche term.
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_locate_asin ~263

Find which Amazon marketplaces list an ASIN, and get its product link on every marketplace (amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .ca, .com.mx, .com.br, .in, .co.jp, .com.au, .ae, .sa). For each marketplace where it is listed: title, price in that marketplace's local currency, estimated monthly sales. Paid: 1 000 tokens per marketplace checked, per ASIN (14 000 per ASIN). How to use: call it ONLY when the user asks where / on which Amazon marketplaces a product is sold, or wants its links on other marketplaces. Do NOT call it just to choose a marketplace for analysis — for that, ask the user once which marketplace they work on and reuse it for the whole conversation. Present the result as a list (country, link, local price, sales); if the user then wants analysis, pass the marketplace they pick to amzscout_analyze_product / amzscout_get_keywords.

NameTypeReqDescription
asinsarrayyes1–5 ASINs to locate (B0 + 8 characters). Pass several only when they will be analyzed together.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_recommend_tool ~99

Given a user use-case, returns the AMZScout tools & Sellerhook services catalog (with tracking links) so you can recommend the right AMZScout product/feature. Use for "which AMZScout tool should I use for X" questions.

NameTypeReqDescription
useCasestringyesWhat the user is trying to do (e.g. "find low-competition products", "validate a supplier", "track BSR").

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_reseller_amazon ~584

Buy box, competing offers and price/rank statistics for one Amazon ASIN — who owns the buy box and at what price, how ownership has split between sellers, FBA vs FBM offer counts, the live offer list with seller names and ratings, price levels over 30/90/180/365 days with all-time extremes, sales-rank drops, out-of-stock share, and buy box ownership history. Built for reseller / online-arbitrage questions, not private-label research — for demand and revenue estimates use analyzeProduct instead. Pure data fetch (no AI analysis). IMPORTANT: call it first WITHOUT `sections` — the summary alone answers most questions, and the reply lists which sections hold data for this ASIN. Only request sections when the summary is not enough; asking for all six returns several KB of detail you will rarely need. How to use: judge whether the listing is worth reselling — Amazon in the buy box or a single seller holding most of it means little room, many FBA offers means price competition, high out-of-stock share means supply gaps you could fill, and rank drops indicate how fast it sells. Marketplace: if the user has not named a country / Amazon domain in this conversation, ask them once which marketplace they work on and reuse that code for every later call in the chat; do not assume the US. Called without `marketplace`, this tool fetches nothing and answers "MARKETPLACE NEEDED". Money is in that marketplace's local currency.

amzscout_search_knowledge ~91

TF-IDF search across the AMZScout knowledge base (Amazon-seller tutorials, brand reference, glossary). Returns the top-K relevant chunks with title, source URL and text. Use this to ground answers in factual material.

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyesSearch phrase. 2-300 chars.
topKinteger–How many knowledge chunks to return (1–20)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_search_products ~246

Keyword search against Amazon — returns the top N products with price, sales, revenue, reviews, rating. Pure data fetch (no AI analysis). Best when you need raw product rows (specific sort order or filters); analyzeNiche additionally returns computed market aggregates on top of the rows. How to use: scan the rows for demand leaders, price clusters, and low-review listings that still sell — those are the entry-opportunity signals.

NameTypeReqDescription
countinteger–How many products to return (1–100)
filtersobject–Filter products by price / sales / revenue / reviews / rating
marketplacestring–Amazon marketplace code — the one the user named, or the one they chose earlier in this conversation (ask once, then reuse it for every call). Never assume the US for an ASIN: without it, ASIN tools…
querystringyesSearch keyword / phrase.
sortstring–Result sort order. revenue/sales/rating/reviews descending; price-low ascending; newest by first-listed date.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

amzscout_usage ~78

The caller's AMZScout AI-agents token balance — remaining, used, and limit. Free — no tokens are charged for this call. How to use: answer "how many tokens do I have left", "what's my usage / balance / limit", or when a call fails on quota. Report the remaining figure first.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Common questions

What is the AMZScout Skill + MCP server?

AMZScout Skill + MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.amzscout-corp/amzscout-skill-mcp. Amazon research from AMZScout data: analyze products & niches, keywords/PPC, and brand catalogs. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://chatbot.amzscout.net/mcp).

Is the AMZScout Skill + MCP server safe to use?

AMZScout Skill + MCP scores 90 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the AMZScout Skill + MCP server expose?

AMZScout Skill + MCP exposes 13 tools: amzscout_analyze_product, amzscout_analyze_niche, amzscout_compare_products, amzscout_compare_niches, amzscout_analyze_product_set, and 8 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,322 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the AMZScout Skill + MCP server require authentication?

Yes. AMZScout Skill + MCP asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the AMZScout Skill + MCP server still maintained?

AMZScout Skill + MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
