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 spec-driven discovery (list_endpoints, describe_endpoint), a generic API proxy (call_endpoint), a runtime spec refresher (refresh_specs), and a display-snapshot downloader (download_display_snapshot). The AI agent discovers endpoints from bundled OpenAPI specs then calls them; the server handles RSA-SHA256 signing and auth headers automatically.

Features

• Spec-driven discovery — list/describe endpoints from bundled OpenAPI specs, refreshable at runtime
• Any endpoint — call by operation id or raw method+path (raw path reaches unpublished endpoints); no code changes when APIs evolve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 OpenAPI specs (refreshable at runtime) give the agent endpoint schemas on demand

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

list_endpoints

List operations from the bundled OpenAPI spec for an ad_type, with optional filters.

Parameter	Required	Description
ad_type	yes	search or display
query	no	Case-insensitive substring match on operationId, path, or summary
tag	no	Filter to operations whose OpenAPI tags include this value
method	no	Filter by HTTP verb

describe_endpoint

Return one operation plus the components.schemas reachable from it (its $ref closure), so request bodies and responses can be built without the full spec.

Parameter	Required	Description
ad_type	yes	search or display
operation_id	yes	Spec operation id (from list_endpoints)

call_endpoint

Execute any Walmart Connect Ads API endpoint. Identify it by operation_id, or by raw method + path. Raw method+path also reaches alpha/beta/unpublished endpoints that are not in the bundled specs. 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
operation_id	no*	Spec operation id; resolves method+path
method	no*	GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE
path	no*	e.g. /api/v1/campaigns
params	no	Query string parameters (JSON object)
body	no	JSON request body for POST/PUT (object or array)

* Provide either operation_id, or both method and path.

refresh_specs

Re-fetch the bundled OpenAPI specs from ReadMe's public api-registry into a user cache (~/.cache/mcp-walmart-ads/specs/) that takes precedence over the bundled copy.

Parameter	Required	Description
spec_id	no	One spec to refresh (e.g. search/sponsored-products); omit to refresh all

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

Endpoint schemas come from the bundled OpenAPI specs via list_endpoints / describe_endpoint (see Tools), not from static resources.

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
