MCP server for Walmart Connect Ads APIs (Sponsored Search + Display)

Walmart Connect Advertising APIs

MCP server for Walmart Connect Ads APIs — Sponsored Search and Display.

Exposes two tools — a generic API proxy (walmart_ads_api) and a display-snapshot downloader (walmart_ads_download_display_snapshot). The AI agent decides which endpoint to call; the server handles RSA-SHA256 signing and auth headers automatically.

Features

• One tool, any endpoint — no code changes needed when APIs evolve
• Supports both Sponsored Search and Display API families
• Multi-region, multi-environment (production + staging) via config file
• Per-request RSA-SHA256 signing with automatic header construction
• Large responses truncated with full data available via MCP resource URI
• Bundled API reference docs served as MCP resources so the agent knows endpoint schemas

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• Walmart Connect Partner Network credentials (consumer ID, RSA key pair, bearer token)

Quick start

Set up your config (see Configuration), then run the server:

# Run directly with uvx (no clone needed)
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-walmart-ads

# Or run from source
git clone https://github.com/alyiox/mcp-walmart-ads.git
cd mcp-walmart-ads
uv sync
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-walmart-ads

Configuration

The config file lives under your home directory at ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/config.json.

Windows note: ~ maps to %USERPROFILE% (typically C:\Users\<you>), so the full path is %USERPROFILE%\.config\mcp-walmart-ads\config.json.

1. Create the config directory and copy the example

# Unix-like (macOS, Linux, WSL, …)
mkdir -p ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/keys/us
cp config.example.json ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/config.json

# Windows (PowerShell)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\mcp-walmart-ads\keys\us"
Copy-Item config.example.json "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\mcp-walmart-ads\config.json"

2. Edit ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/config.json

{
  "response_cache_ttl": 3600,
  "truncate_threshold": 51200,
  "regions": {
    "US": {
      "production": {
        "consumer_id": "your-consumer-id",
        "private_key": "./keys/us/prod.pem",
        "private_key_version": "1",
        "bearer_token": "your-bearer-token",
        "base_urls": {
          "search": "https://developer.api.walmart.com/api-proxy/service/WPA/Api/v1",
          "display": "https://developer.api.walmart.com/api-proxy/service/display/api/v1"
        }
      },
      "staging": {
        "consumer_id": "your-staging-consumer-id",
        "private_key": "./keys/us/staging.pem",
        "private_key_version": "1",
        "bearer_token": "your-staging-bearer-token",
        "base_urls": {
          "search": "https://developer.api.stg.walmart.com/api-proxy/service/WPA/Api/v1",
          "display": "https://developer.api.us.stg.walmart.com/api-proxy/service/display/api/v1"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Place your RSA private key PEM files in ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/keys/

Key paths in the config are resolved relative to the config directory, so ./keys/us/prod.pem resolves to ~/.config/mcp-walmart-ads/keys/us/prod.pem.

Config field	Description
response_cache_ttl	Seconds to keep truncated responses in memory (default 3600)
truncate_threshold	Response byte limit before truncation (default 51200)
regions.<R>.<E>.consumer_id	Your Walmart Connect consumer ID
regions.<R>.<E>.private_key	Path to RSA private key PEM (relative to config dir or absolute)
regions.<R>.<E>.private_key_version	Key version string (default "1")
regions.<R>.<E>.bearer_token	OAuth bearer token
regions.<R>.<E>.base_urls.search	Sponsored Search API base URL
regions.<R>.<E>.base_urls.display	Display API base URL

Tools

walmart_ads_api

Execute any Walmart Connect Ads API endpoint. The agent picks the method and path; the server handles RSA-SHA256 signing.

Parameter	Required	Description
region	yes	e.g. US
env	yes	production or staging
ad_type	yes	search or display
method	yes	GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE
path	yes	e.g. /api/v1/campaigns
params	no	Query string parameters (JSON object)
body	no	JSON request body for POST/PUT (object or array)

walmart_ads_download_display_snapshot

Download a display snapshot file (report or entity). Display snapshot URLs require authenticated requests, so this tool handles the signing automatically. Use it with the snapshot ID from the details field after polling a display snapshot to done status.

Parameter	Required	Description
region	yes	e.g. US
env	yes	production or staging
snapshot_id	yes	Snapshot ID from the details URL
advertiser_id	yes	Advertiser ID used when creating the snapshot

MCP resources

API reference docs

The server bundles API reference docs as MCP resources so the agent can read endpoint schemas on demand. One resource per endpoint group, following the URI pattern wmc://docs/{ad_type}/{group} — for example wmc://docs/search/campaigns or wmc://docs/display/audiences.

The full list is generated from the markdown files in src/mcp_walmart_ads/docs/. Current groups:

Search	Display
campaigns	campaigns
ad-groups	ad-groups
ad-items	targeting
keywords	audiences
placements	itemsets
bid-multipliers	itemset-campaign-association
sponsored-brands	catalog
sponsored-videos	forecast
catalog-item-search	creative
snapshot-reports	creative-associations
top-search-trends	video
advanced-insights	folder
stats	snapshot-reports
audit-snapshot	stats
	brand-landing-page

Dynamic resources

Resource URI	Description
wmc://config	Available regions, environments, and ad types from your config
wmc://responses/{request_id}	Full body of a truncated API response (cached in memory, TTL from config)
wmc://curl/{request_id}	Reproducible cURL command for a previous API request
