Authentication Flow

Amazon requires manual login (headless browsers cannot complete Amazon's full auth flow including 2FA):

1. Run amazon_login — it returns https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin
2. Open that URL in your browser and log in with your Amazon credentials
3. Complete any 2-factor authentication
4. Run amazon_status to verify the session is detected
5. Cookies are saved to ~/.strider/amazon/cookies.json for future sessions

Configuration

Session data is stored in:

~/.strider/amazon/
├── cookies.json    # Browser session cookies
└── session.json    # Cached session metadata

To reset: run amazon_logout or delete the ~/.strider/amazon/ directory.

Order Safety

amazon_place_order requires confirm: true to actually place an order:

• Without confirm: true — returns a preview (same as amazon_preview_order)
• With confirm: true — places the order immediately

Never set confirm: true without explicit user consent.

Bot Detection

Amazon has aggressive bot detection. This server includes:

• Random delays between actions (500–2000ms)
• User agent rotation (Chrome/Safari on macOS/Windows)
• Webdriver property masking
• Browser plugin/language spoofing
• Proper viewport and screen resolution

If you receive a CAPTCHA error: visit amazon.com in your regular browser, complete the CAPTCHA, then retry. Cookies will be re-used in subsequent calls.

Technical Details

• Runtime: Node.js 18+, ES modules
• Browser: Playwright Chromium (headless)
• Transport: MCP stdio
• Session storage: ~/.strider/amazon/

Limitations

• Requires manual login (no programmatic auth for Amazon)
• CAPTCHA challenges must be completed in a real browser
• Payment method must be pre-configured on your Amazon account
• Amazon's UI changes may break DOM selectors — report issues on GitHub
• Not affiliated with Amazon.com, Inc.

Troubleshooting

"CAPTCHA detected" Visit amazon.com in your browser, complete the CAPTCHA, then retry.

"Not logged in" Run amazon_login, open the URL, log in, then run amazon_status.

"Add to Cart button not found" The item may be sold by a third-party seller requiring seller selection, or it may be unavailable. Try amazon_get_product first to verify availability.

"Page load timed out" Check your internet connection. Amazon pages can be slow on first load.
