Amazon Seller — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the amazon-seller-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to
$HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install amazon-seller --cli-only
- Verify:
amazon-seller-pp-cli --version
- Ensure the reported install directory is on
$PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.
If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.4 or newer):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/commerce/amazon-seller/cmd/amazon-seller-pp-cli@latest
If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
amazon-seller-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
Auth Setup
Self-authorize your private application in the provider console, export the OAuth client ID, OAuth client secret, and refresh token, then run doctor:
export SP_API_LWA_CLIENT_ID="<client-id>"
export SP_API_LWA_CLIENT_SECRET="<client-secret>"
export SP_API_REFRESH_TOKEN="<refresh-token>"
amazon-seller-pp-cli doctor
The CLI exchanges the refresh token for an access token on first live use and caches the access token locally.
Run amazon-seller-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
Agent Mode
Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.
-
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
-
Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
amazon-seller-pp-cli catalog get <asin> --marketplace-ids ATVPDKIKX0DER --agent --select asin,attributes,summaries
-
Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending
-
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
-
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
-
Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success
Response envelope
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
{
"meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
"results": <data>
}
Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
amazon-seller-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
amazon-seller-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
amazon-seller-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.amazon-seller-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless AMAZON_SELLER_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or AMAZON_SELLER_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|
stdout | Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> | Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> | POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
amazon-seller-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
amazon-seller-pp-cli --profile briefing sellers marketplaces
amazon-seller-pp-cli profile list --json
amazon-seller-pp-cli profile show briefing
amazon-seller-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|
| 0 | Success |
| 2 | Usage error (wrong arguments) |
| 3 | Resource not found |
| 4 | Authentication required |
| 5 | API error (upstream issue) |
| 7 | Rate limited (wait and retry) |
| 10 | Config error |
Argument Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- Empty,
help, or --help → show amazon-seller-pp-cli --help output
- Starts with
install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
- Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with
--agent)
MCP Server Installation
- Install the MCP server:
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/commerce/amazon-seller/cmd/amazon-seller-pp-mcp@latest
- Register with Claude Code:
claude mcp add amazon-seller-pp-mcp -- amazon-seller-pp-mcp
- Verify:
claude mcp list
Direct Use
- Check if installed:
which amazon-seller-pp-cli
If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
- Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
- Execute with the
--agent flag:
amazon-seller-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
- If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
amazon-seller-pp-cli <command> --help.
