Alexa Shopping List FAQs

Question 1

How does the tool work?

Accepted Answer

It consists of an API server, an MCP server, and a login script. The login script uses Selenium to extract cookies from your Amazon account. The API server then uses these cookies to interact with your Alexa shopping list. The MCP server allows you to interact with the API through clients like Claude or Cursor.

Question 2

Why do I need to rerun the login script periodically?

Accepted Answer

Amazon sessions expire. The login script needs to be rerun to extract new cookies and update them on the API server. This is necessary to maintain authentication with Alexa.

Question 3

What are the prerequisites for using this tool?

Accepted Answer

You need Python 3.10+, uv, Docker, Docker Compose, Google Chrome, and an Amazon account with Alexa. See the setup instructions for installing the necessary dependencies.

Question 4

What is the Alexa Shopping List tool?

Accepted Answer

This tool provides an API and MCP server to manage your Alexa shopping list programmatically. You can add, remove, and view items directly from your terminal or integrate it with AI assistants like Claude and Cursor.

Question 5

How do I connect this tool to Claude or Cursor?

Accepted Answer

You need to add the server's configuration to your client's `mcp.json` file, specifying the path to the Python executable and the `src.mcp.mcp_server` module. Make sure to use absolute paths and restart your client after saving the file.
