What is a Vendor Central MCP server?

An MCP server lets an AI assistant call your data as tools. A Vendor Central MCP server exposes your 1P data: sales and traffic, Net PPM, purchase orders, invoices, payments, deductions and stock at Amazon. Nova's adds your own costs and Amazon Ads, modeled before the assistant reads them.

How do I connect Amazon Vendor Central to Claude?

Connect Vendor Central in Nova, then add the Nova endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and sign in. The Claude guide shows each step. Claude Free allows one custom connector; Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise work too.

How do I connect Vendor Central to ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu take Nova as a custom MCP server; see the ChatGPT guide. In Microsoft 365, add Nova in Copilot Studio; see the Copilot guide. Microsoft Copilot uses MCP through Copilot Studio; connection availability depends on your organization's configuration.

Can my AI see Net PPM and my own profit?

Yes, both. Net PPM is Amazon's margin on your products, read from Retail Analytics. Your margin is the sell-in P&L: what you invoiced, Amazon's deductions, net received, your COGS and profit before ads. Nova labels which one an answer uses.

Does it work for hybrid 1P and 3P brands?

Yes. Vendor Central and Seller Central accounts sit in one workspace. Ask for both and Nova reads them together, saying what it added; ask for one and it reads that programme only. It never sums 1P and 3P figures silently.

Can the AI make changes in Vendor Central?

No. Nova's access to Vendor Central is read-only: no listing, A+ Content or purchase order changes. You can revoke it at any time from Vendor Central. Listing edits exist for Seller Central accounts only.

How much Vendor Central history do I get, and how fresh is it?

Two years of sales, traffic and stock analytics, 24 months of remittances, 12 months of invoices and the purchase orders Amazon still serves (about six months), on a trial as on a paid plan. Analytics settle about two days after the day; hourly real-time reports cover today and yesterday.

Vendor Central questions, answered from your own data

Illustrative answers

Which invoices did Amazon short-pay last quarter, and which can I still dispute?

query_vendor_invoices

Six invoices were paid short. Four are still inside the 90-day dispute window, the earliest closing in 12 days.

Which ASINs should Amazon be ordering and is not?

query_vendor_inventory

Three ASINs shipped in the last four weeks, have nothing sellable at Amazon and no open purchase order.

How much did Amazon deduct last month, by type?

query_vendor_remittances

Co-op is the largest deduction, then shortage claims, then chargebacks. Each line links to the payment it came off.

Which ASINs had negative Net PPM last month, and what is my margin on them?

query_vendor_inventory, query_metrics

Two ASINs went negative for Amazon. Your own margin on them, after COGS and deductions, is still positive on one.

Two margins in one answer: Amazon's and yours

Net PPM is Amazon's margin on your products. Nova also reads your side: what you invoiced Amazon, its deductions, what it received, your COGS and your profit before ads. Your AI keeps sell-in and sell-out apart.

1P and 3P in one question
