OpenAI Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.junglescout]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "junglescout-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.junglescout.env]
JUNGLESCOUT_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"
JUNGLESCOUT_KEY_NAME = "your-key-name-here"

Getting an API key

The Jungle Scout Developer API requires an active Jungle Scout subscription that includes API access.

<!-- AFFILIATE --> Sign up or upgrade your Jungle Scout plan: https://www.junglescout.com/pricing/ <!-- /AFFILIATE -->

Once you have a plan with API access:

1. Log in to Jungle Scout and navigate to Settings > Manage API Keys.
2. Create a new API key. You will receive both a Key Name and an API Key.
3. Set the environment variables:

export JUNGLESCOUT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export JUNGLESCOUT_KEY_NAME="your-key-name-here"

The server will start without credentials and tools will return setup instructions until both variables are configured.

Example conversations

Keyword research for a new product:

"Give me the Amazon US search volume and PPC bid estimates for 'bamboo cutting board', 'wooden cutting board', and 'plastic cutting board'. Which has the best volume-to-competition ratio?"

The model calls keywordsearchvolume with all three terms, compares volumes and ease-of-ranking scores, and summarizes which keyword is the best entry point.

Competitor keyword gap analysis:

"I am competing with ASIN B07XJ8C8F5. What are the top 20 keywords driving traffic to that listing?"

The model calls keywordsbyasin and returns the ranking keywords sorted by relevancy, including organic and sponsored positions.
