Getting Started with Scale Insights MCP

  • What products should I focus on this week?
  • Summarize my account performance.

Your AI application accesses your Scale Insights data securely and provides insights in plain English.

  • Claude
  • ChatGPT
  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor / VS Code

Additional MCP-compatible AI applications may be supported in future releases.


What is the Scale Insights Skill?

The Scale Insights Skill is an optional companion that teaches your AI application how to better understand Scale Insights data.

It unlocks built-in prompts, shortcuts, and richer AI-powered analysis.

The Scale Insights Skill teaches your AI application:

  • Common Amazon PPC workflows
