Amazon blocks AI shopping agents; Maritime offers $1/month Android MCP workaround
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-15
Amazon just blocked AI assistants like Muse, Dots and Instinct from browsing and buying on its website. The poster points to a workaround: Maritime's Android MCP lets an agent spin up a persistent Android phone, shop on Amazon on a customer's behalf and stay logged in for next time — at $1/month. A notable skirmish in the agent-vs-platform e-commerce access war.
