Checked against Nova's code on 2026-10-29

The Nova MCP server exposes 52 tools: 39 read and 13 write. Four appear only when your accounts include a Vendor Central account, one only with a Seller Central account, and three only where Nova has turned Amazon writes on. Every write previews first and needs your confirmation (see [Overview and security](/docs/mcp/overview-and-security)).
