What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_retailer

    The connected store: id, name, domain prefix, store URL, country, currency, time zone, tax-exclusive setting, loyalty and gift-card settings. Good first call (use the time zone to turn a local day into UTC for sales searches). GET /retailer.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_outlets

    List the store's outlets (locations): id, name, address, currency, time zone, default tax. Use the outlet id to filter sales, stock and stock orders. Paginate with next_after. GET /outlets.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_outlet

    One outlet by id. GET /outlets/{outlet_id}.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_registers

    List registers (tills): id, name, outlet_id, is_open, open/close times and invoice numbering. Paginate with next_after. GET /registers.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_register_payments_summary

    Payment totals by payment type for one register since it was opened (the end-of-day / cash-up view). GET /registers/{register_id}/payments_summary.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_taxes

    List tax groups and their rates (id, name, is_default, rates). The vendor returns the whole list in one reply (no cursor). GET /taxes.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_users

    List the store's users (staff): id, username, display name, email, account type (cashier, manager, admin), enabled flag, restricted outlets. Paginate with next_after. GET /users.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_user_sale_totals

    Sales totals for one staff user, as the vendor computes them (no date filter; use sales_summary for a period). GET /users/{user_id}/sale_totals.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_products

    List products (variants) in the catalog: id, family_id, sku, variant_name, prices (price_excluding_tax / price_including_tax), active flags, codes, suppliers, version. The product NAME lives on the product family: add includes=["families"] to get it. Paginate with next_after (sto

  • lightspeedxseries_get_product

    One product (variant) by id, with its prices, codes, suppliers and outlet taxes. GET /products/{product_id}.

  • lightspeedxseries_search_products

    Filter products by SKU, brand, supplier, tag, product type or variant parent. Uses offset paging: pass next_offset to continue (null = last page). GET /search?type=products.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_inventory_levels

    Stock on hand per product per outlet: product_id, location_id (= outlet id), current_inventory_level, reorder threshold/amount, quantity_to_procure, average cost, total cost, supplier. Filter by outlet_ids, product_ids (or root_product_ids for variant families), supplier_ids; to_

  • lightspeedxseries_list_brands

    List product brands (id, name). Paginate with next_after. GET /brands.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_tags

    List product tags (id, name). Paginate with next_after. GET /tags.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_suppliers

    List suppliers: id, name, default markup and contact details. Paginate with next_after. GET /suppliers.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_consignments

    List consignments: supplier stock orders (type SUPPLIER), transfers between outlets (OUTLET), stocktakes (STOCKTAKE) and returns (RETURN), with status (OPEN, SENT, DISPATCHED, RECEIVED, STOCKTAKE_*, CLOSED, CANCELLED), outlet, supplier, due and received dates, totals. Paginate wi

  • lightspeedxseries_get_consignment

    One consignment (stock order, transfer, stocktake or return) by id. GET /consignments/{consignment_id}.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_consignment_products

    The product lines of one consignment: product_id, SKU, ordered count, received quantity, cost. Paginate with next_after (stop when data is empty). GET /consignments/{consignment_id}/products.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_sales

    Sales in version order, oldest changes first: the way to sync everything that changed. It has NO date filter: for a period use search_sales or sales_summary. Each sale: id, date, invoice_number, state, customer_id, source (outlet, register, user), payments, line_items, totals. Pa

  • lightspeedxseries_get_sale

    One sale by id with its line items, payments, taxes and totals. GET /sales/{sale_id}.

  • lightspeedxseries_search_sales

    Find sales by date range (UTC), state, outlet, register, user, customer, payment type, product or invoice number. Uses offset paging: pass next_offset to continue (null = last page). Replies can be large: for totals over a period use sales_summary instead of paging through this.

  • lightspeedxseries_sales_summary

    Totals for a period computed here from up to max_pages x page_size sales, so a report needs ONE tool call instead of dozens: sale count and net / tax / gross (tax-inclusive) totals, plus breakdowns by state, UTC day, outlet and payment type name, and the top products by quantity.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_customers

    List customers in version order: id, customer_code, name, email, phone, balance, loyalty_balance, year_to_date, customer group. To find one by name or email use search_customers. Paginate with next_after (stop when data is empty). GET /customers.

  • lightspeedxseries_search_customers

    Find customers by email, first name, last name, company name, phone, mobile or customer code. Uses offset paging: pass next_offset to continue (null = last page). GET /search?type=customers.

  • lightspeedxseries_get_customer

    One customer by id: contact details, addresses, customer group, balance, loyalty balance, year-to-date spend. GET /customers/{customer_id}.

  • lightspeedxseries_list_customer_groups

    List customer groups (id, name). Use the id as customer_group_id when creating or updating a customer. Paginate with next_after. GET /customer_groups.

  • lightspeedxseries_create_customer

    WRITE: create a new customer. Give at least a first name, last name or company name. Check search_customers first so you do not create a duplicate. POST /customers.

  • lightspeedxseries_update_customer

    WRITE: change fields of an existing customer. Only the fields you pass change: the tool first reads the customer and sends the vendor its full record with your changes applied (the vendor's update is a full PUT). Cannot delete a customer or change balances. Lightspeed offers no p

  • lightspeedxseries_update_product_prices

    WRITE: set the selling price of one product (variant). Pass price_excluding_tax or price_including_tax as a decimal string such as "24.99" (set one; the store's tax setting decides which the till uses). Nothing else on the product changes. Read the product first and confirm the n

  • lightspeedxseries_set_product_stock

    WRITE: set the stock on hand (current_amount) and/or the reorder point and reorder amount of ONE product at ONE outlet. current_amount is the NEW TOTAL on hand, not a change: it overwrites the count, so sales made since you last read it are lost from the count. Read get_inventory

Common questions

Is Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.18.4) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spree Commerce: open-source B2B and marketplace ecommerce, Stripe MCP, MCP Cn Commerce

Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) MCP by usefulapi

Work with your Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) store (formerly Vend) from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up products, stock per outlet, sales, customers, suppliers, stock orders, registers and staff; get a sales report for a period in one call; create and update customers, set prices and set stock levels. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Lightspeed Retail account over OAuth.

Live endpoint: https://lightspeed-x-series.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/lightspeed-x-series

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://lightspeed-x-series.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http lightspeed-x-series https://lightspeed-x-series.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.

{

"mcpServers": { "lightspeed-x-series": { "url": "https://lightspeed-x-series.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and you sign in with your Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) account.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/lightspeed-x-series/

On first connect you'll be sent to Lightspeed to sign in and approve access for your store; no API keys to paste. You can remove the access any time in your Lightspeed Retail back office. One subscription covers one store account.
