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_retailerThe 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_outletsList 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_outletOne outlet by id. GET /outlets/{outlet_id}.
lightspeedxseries_list_registersList registers (tills): id, name, outlet_id, is_open, open/close times and invoice numbering. Paginate with next_after. GET /registers.
lightspeedxseries_get_register_payments_summaryPayment 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_taxesList 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_usersList 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_totalsSales 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_productsList 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_productOne product (variant) by id, with its prices, codes, suppliers and outlet taxes. GET /products/{product_id}.
lightspeedxseries_search_productsFilter 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_levelsStock 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_brandsList product brands (id, name). Paginate with next_after. GET /brands.
lightspeedxseries_list_tagsList product tags (id, name). Paginate with next_after. GET /tags.
lightspeedxseries_list_suppliersList suppliers: id, name, default markup and contact details. Paginate with next_after. GET /suppliers.
lightspeedxseries_list_consignmentsList 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_consignmentOne consignment (stock order, transfer, stocktake or return) by id. GET /consignments/{consignment_id}.
lightspeedxseries_list_consignment_productsThe 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_salesSales 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_saleOne sale by id with its line items, payments, taxes and totals. GET /sales/{sale_id}.
lightspeedxseries_search_salesFind 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_summaryTotals 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_customersList 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_customersFind 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_customerOne customer by id: contact details, addresses, customer group, balance, loyalty balance, year-to-date spend. GET /customers/{customer_id}.
lightspeedxseries_list_customer_groupsList 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_customerWRITE: 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_customerWRITE: 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_pricesWRITE: 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_stockWRITE: 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?
