Method
How we checked this server.
The tool list comes from public documentation. We did not connect a seller account.6
Docs: 'The Amazon Ads MCP Server exposes 50+ tools', naming '<tool_group>-<tool_name>', groups account_management, reporting, campaign_management, locale_expansion. Only example tools are public without sign-in (overview page redirects to Advanced Tools Center login).
Not tested with credentials. We did not connect this server to a seller or ads account. A tool marked read can still have side effects we could not see, and a vendor can add write tools at any time. Check the list again before you grant access.
Areas come from keywords in tool names, as explained on the matrix page.
