Read-only by design

Catchr gives Claude eight tools, and all eight of them read.

What Claude can read

Claude can list the platforms and accounts connected to your workspace, browse the available fields, and run reporting queries against them. That covers spend, delivery, conversions, and creative performance, down to the level you ask for.

What Claude cannot touch

Claude cannot create, pause, or edit a campaign, move a budget, publish an ad, or change an audience. There is no write permission to grant, so there is none to supervise.

Where the change still happens

In Ads Manager. Decide in the conversation what to change and why, then act with the access and the review your team already uses.

Twelve Amazon Vendor Central prompts for analyzing real account data.

Choose your role, open a workflow, then replace the bracketed variables before pasting the prompt into Claude. Every prompt asks for evidence, limits, and a concrete output.

Agency promptCopy prompt

Replace [variables] Facts ≠ hypotheses Action + follow-up metric

A simple client question should not trigger an hour of data prep

“Why did CPA rise?” sounds simple. The answer is usually buried across exports, formulas, filters, and tabs before the analysis can even start.

Pull another CSV

Choose the right account, date range, breakdowns, and fields. Then wait for the file and do it again when the question changes.

Rebuild the context

Rename columns, fix formats, join tabs, and check formulas before you can trust the comparison.

Summarize it by hand

Turn the numbers into a client-ready answer, then repeat the whole process for the inevitable follow-up.

Ask the account. Get to the explanation.

Catchr MCP gives Claude access to the marketing accounts you select, so each follow-up starts with the same marketing context instead of a new manual export.

The hard way

Prepare data before every question.

  • Export files from the marketing platform
  • Reformat and reconcile columns
  • Rebuild the analysis for each follow-up
The Catchr way

Connect once. Keep asking.

  • Select the right accounts and data
  • Ask in the language your team already uses
  • Investigate with follow-up questions

Amazon Vendor Central to Claude: FAQ

Clear answers for marketers comparing connectors, data sources, reporting workflows, and dashboard setup.

What Amazon Vendor Central data can Claude analyze through Catchr?

Claude can analyze the Amazon Vendor Central records returned through Catchr, including ordered and shipped revenue, ordered and unfilled units, open purchase order units, inventory costs, shipped COGS, and average vendor lead time. Available results depend on the selected marketplace, report, options, permissions, and requested period.

How granular can Amazon Vendor Central analysis be in Claude?

Amazon Vendor Central reports can include aggregate and ASIN-level sections, identified by the Report Level field. Claude can also work with normalized day, week, month, quarter, and year dimensions, but the available grain depends on the selected report and returned fields.

Can Claude compare Amazon Vendor Central performance across periods?

Yes, when compatible records are returned for both periods. Claude can compare measures such as ordered revenue, shipped revenue, ordered units, shipped COGS, and inventory costs using normalized date fields. Forecasting is different because Amazon returns the latest forecast snapshot rather than data for a requested date window.

Can Claude investigate Amazon Vendor Central sales and inventory issues?

Claude can highlight patterns such as gaps between ordered and shipped revenue, unfilled customer orders, open purchase orders, long vendor lead times, aged stock, unhealthy inventory, or unsellable inventory. These patterns support investigation but do not prove a cause, so ask Claude to separate observations from possible explanations.

What prompts work best for Amazon Vendor Central analysis in Claude?

Specify the selected marketplace, report, date range, reporting grain, filters, and desired output. Useful prompts include comparing ordered and shipped revenue by month, reviewing unfilled units and open purchase orders, or identifying where aged, unhealthy, and unsellable inventory costs deserve attention.

Can I combine Amazon Vendor Central data with other sources in Claude?

Yes, when the other sources are also connected through Catchr and provide compatible records. Align dates, currencies, marketplace scope, product identifiers, and metric definitions before combining results; otherwise, ask Claude for a side-by-side comparison instead of a joined analysis.

Can Claude compare multiple Amazon Vendor Central marketplaces?

Each Amazon Vendor Central authorization uses one selected marketplace. If the required marketplaces are available through separate Catchr connections, ask Claude to analyze each one separately before producing a comparison, while keeping currencies, date ranges, report options, and metric definitions aligned.

What do I need to connect Amazon Vendor Central to Claude with Catchr?

You need Vendor Central access that can complete the OAuth2 authorization, select the marketplace during setup, connect Amazon Vendor Central in Catchr, and enable Catchr MCP in Claude. The reports and fields available afterward depend on that marketplace and its permissions.

How recent is Amazon Vendor Central data when Claude analyzes it?

Claude analyzes the records returned through the Catchr connection and should not assume they are real time. Sales, traffic, inventory, and net pure product margin reports use the requested date window, while forecasting returns Amazon’s latest forecast snapshot. Ask Claude to state the latest returned date and any missing intervals.

Can Claude change Amazon Vendor Central data through Catchr?

No. This Catchr connector reads Amazon Vendor Central analytics reports for Claude to analyze; it does not provide write access to edit source records or operational settings. Use Claude’s findings to prepare recommendations, then make any approved changes in the appropriate Amazon workflow.
