This MCP server enables Amazon product search and purchasing capabilities to your AI assistant via the Claude integration. When you enable the Amazon MCP, Claude can query the Amazon catalog, compare products, and facilitate purchases through the Fewsats payment platform. The integration is driven by the UV tool (a lightweight runner) and is configured to launch the Amazon MCP module named 'amazon-mcp'. To use it, ensure you’ve installed the Claude Desktop App and set up a Fewsats account (with an API key) if you intend to complete purchases. While interacting with Claude, simply ask it to find products or compare options, and it will surface results from Amazon and guide you through the purchase flow through Fewsats’ secure checkout.

Prerequisites:

• Claude Desktop App installed and configured
• A Fewsats account with an API key if you plan to make purchases
• Internet access

Step 1: Install UV (required to run the Amazon MCP)

• Mac: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
• Windows (PowerShell as Administrator): irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

Step 2: Configure Claude with the MCP

1. Locate your Claude config file (examples below):
   • Mac: open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: open %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add the Amazon MCP configuration (example shown in the readme).
3. Save the config and restart Claude to apply changes.

Step 3: Optional – configure Fewsats for purchases

• Create a Fewsats account and obtain an API key
• In your MCP configuration, include the FEWSATS API key as needed (see additional notes for env var usage)

Notes:

• The Amazon MCP is referenced as 'amazon-mcp' and is invoked via UV with the argument list shown in the configuration.
• If you plan to also use the Fewsats-based purchasing flow, ensure your FEWSATS_API_KEY is kept secure and applied in the environment as described in the configuration examples.

Environment and configuration tips:

• The Amazon MCP uses UV to run the 'amazon-mcp' module. Ensure UV is installed and accessible in your system PATH.
• If you enable purchasing through Fewsats, you must provide FEWSATS_API_KEY as an environment value in your integration configuration when required by your runner (example in the README shows combined usage).
• For Cursor or other development environments, you can mirror the same mcpServers configuration to reuse the Amazon and Fewsats MCP setups.
• Common issues often relate to network access, API key validity for Fewsats, or incorrect paths in the Claude config. Verify that the 'amazon-mcp' module is correctly referenced and that UV can run it without permission errors.
