Profitlee-MCP Server

ProfitLee MCP is an MCP server for analyzing ecommerce and marketplace profitability. It helps users calculate net profit, profit margin, ROI, breakeven price, and fee-adjusted outcomes from product cost, selling price, shipping, ads, platform fees, and tax inputs. It also supports reusable profit scenarios so users can compare pricing and cost assumptions more easily.

npm version license smithery badge Glama MCP Server

An MCP server for Profitlee — compute country-accurate Amazon FBA/FBM and TikTok Shop profit margins, and manage saved scenarios, from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …).

calculate_profit is free and needs no token. The scenario tools require a Profitlee Pro API token.

MCP registry name: io.github.AronLEEdev/profitlee-mcp

Quick start

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "profitlee": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "profitlee-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PROFITLEE_API_TOKEN": "eck_live_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

PROFITLEE_API_TOKEN is optional — omit the whole env block to use calculate_profit only. Create a token on your Profitlee account page to unlock the scenario tools.

Requires Node.js 20+.

calculate_profit inputs

Pick a platform + mode, give the product's physical and cost details, and Profitlee folds every fee into a single net margin. Rates are 0–1 decimals (e.g. 0.15 = 15%). US uses inches + pounds; DE/JP use cm + kg.

The Profitlee API is the source of truth for validation — incomplete or out-of-range inputs come back as a clear error listing the offending fields. Full field reference: https://profitlee.com/docs/api.

How it works

The server is a thin wrapper over Profitlee's public HTTP API:

  • calculate_profitPOST /api/v1/calculate (public, no token).
  • scenario tools → /api/v1/scenarios* (require the Pro token; the server fails fast with a clear message if it's missing).

No fee logic is reimplemented here, so results always match the live Profitlee calculator and current fee tables.
