First sign-up and advertising

At first sign-up, click Vendor Central in your region at the SP API Integration step. For ads, sign in with the login that manages this account's advertising; a login that only sees Seller Central advertising is refused.

What loads

Nova loads 2 years of sales, traffic and inventory analytics, 24 months of remittances, 12 months of purchase orders and invoices, and 6 months of shipments, and checks units against Amazon's sales report day by day before it opens the account. Vendor Central has no order feed: sales, traffic and inventory come from Amazon's hourly real-time reports.

Questions

Do I need a Seller Central account?

No. Nova connects to Vendor Central on its own.

Amazon shows a sign-up page instead of the consent.

You are on another country's Vendor Central site. Choose the country the account was opened in.

My ads login is refused.

Use the Amazon login that manages this Vendor Central account's advertising.

How do I re-authorize?

In Settings, Organization, Amazon connections, choose Re-authorize and use the Vendor Central button. Your data and history are kept.

Can 1P and 3P sit together?

Yes, in one workspace. The Channel filter splits Amazon 1P and Amazon 3P, and Nova does not add them on its own.

Does Amazon's own connector cover Vendor Central?

Not as published on 4 November 2026: it serves Amazon US stores for sellers. See MCP servers that support Vendor Central.

Which Claude plans work?

Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. The Free plan allows one custom connector.

How does it work on Claude Team or Enterprise?

An Owner adds Nova in Organization settings > Connectors (Add > Custom > Web). Each member then opens Customize > Connectors, finds Nova with the Custom label and clicks Connect.
