BLAZE MCP at a Glance
Last updated: October 7, 2026
- BLAZE MCP connects the AI assistant your team already uses, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to BLAZE point of sale, e-commerce, marketing, and loyalty
- A manager can go from spotting slow-moving inventory to a priced discount, a merchandised online collection, and a drafted outreach campaign in one conversation
- Every action that changes data is previewed and requires explicit approval; in a multi-step workflow, each step is approved separately
- The assistant runs under each person’s own BLAZE login and role permissions, and every request and action is logged
- BLAZE MCP is an add-on, and availability depends on your subscription; see the BLAZE MCP product page for access
A store manager spots a shelf full of products that have barely moved this month. The usual fix involves pulling a report, checking costs, setting a discount, updating the online menu, and preparing a message for shoppers. If those steps live in separate tools, a simple promotion can take the better part of an afternoon.
BLAZE MCP gives licensed cannabis retailers another way to handle that work. A manager can ask an AI assistant to identify slow-moving inventory, propose a margin-conscious discount, prepare the online promotion, and draft the outreach campaign. Each change is shown for review before it is applied.
| Step | The usual way | With BLAZE MCP |
|---|---|---|
| Find what is not selling | Pull an inventory report, sort, export | Ask the assistant for slow-moving products at this store |
| Set a discount | Open the cost sheet, calculate margin, enter the price | Ask for a discount option that keeps a stated margin, then approve it |
| Update the online menu | Log into e-commerce, build a collection, upload a banner | Ask for the collection and banner, review where it appears, approve |
| Tell customers | Open the marketing tool, build an audience, write copy | Ask for an outreach draft, review audience and copy, approve |
| Context | Rebuilt in each tool | Carried through one conversation |
What Is BLAZE MCP?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use tools connected to business software. In this case, BLAZE MCP connects a compatible assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, with permitted functions across BLAZE point of sale, e-commerce, marketing, and loyalty.
That connection is useful because a dispensary promotion involves more than writing copy. The product has to be in stock. The proposed price has to make sense against its cost. The online listing has to show the offer. The campaign has to reach the intended audience. BLAZE brings those parts of retail operations into one connected system (BLAZE Retail, BLAZE ECOM, and BLAZE Growth), so the manager can work through them in one conversation.
A Promotion, Step by Step
1. Find the slow movers and price the offer
“Which products at this store have been moving slowly? Show me a discount option that keeps at least a 30% margin.”
The assistant can use the inventory and sales information the manager is allowed to see and prepare a recommendation. The manager checks the product, price, cost, and proposed discount before approving a change.
2. Merchandise it on the storefront
Next, the manager asks the assistant to turn the approved offer into a collection and prepare a banner for the online storefront. For a business with several locations, the manager can ask to review where the promotion would appear, within the locations their BLAZE role allows. The storefront is BLAZE ECOM, so the collection reads live inventory rather than a copy of it.
3. Announce it to the right shoppers
Finally, the manager asks for an outreach draft announcing the offer. Staff review the audience, copy, applicable consent rules, and promotion terms before approving the campaign in BLAZE Outreach. The conversation connects the inventory decision to the storefront and the message shoppers receive, while the retailer makes each decision to publish.
That sequence is the real advantage of a connected retail system. A manager can start with a product that needs attention and carry the decision through merchandising and marketing without rebuilding the context in a different tool at each step. Once the promotion runs, measure it the same way as any other offer: incremental gross profit after the discount, not redeemed sales.
What Can a Retailer Ask It to Do?
The BLAZE MCP product page describes examples across day-to-day operations:
| You ask | The assistant prepares | You review and approve |
|---|---|---|
| Find slow-moving products | A list with a proposed discount | Product, cost, price, and margin |
| Build a collection and merchandise a promotion | The collection and a storefront banner | Which locations and products are affected |
| Draft a campaign | Audience, copy, and timing for review | Consent rules, terms, and the send itself |
| Find frequent shoppers not enrolled in loyalty | The segment and a drafted invitation | Who is included and what they receive |
| Review inventory, pricing, or online availability | A read-out within your access | Nothing changes unless you ask it to |
These are examples of workflows to review with your team. The available actions depend on your subscription, user permissions, and connected assistant. For more worked examples, see 5 Powerful AI Prompts to Run a Cannabis Dispensary.
How Does a Retailer Stay in Control?
BLAZE’s MCP connection uses each person’s authenticated BLAZE profile and existing role permissions. The assistant can only reach functions that person is permitted to use. Requests and actions are logged, and any action that changes data is previewed for explicit approval. In a sequence with several changes, each one is reviewed separately.
- Your login, your permissions. No shared credentials; the assistant sees and does only what your BLAZE role allows.
- Preview before every change. Anything that would modify data is spelled out first and requires your explicit confirmation.
- One approval per step. A discount, a banner, and a campaign are three approvals, not one.
- A full log. Every request and action is recorded, including what data was accessed or modified and when.
That review still calls for the same operating judgment staff use today. Check a proposed price against actual costs and local rules. Review customer targeting and messaging against applicable consent and advertising requirements. Inspect the locations and products affected before approving a bulk change. MCP gives the team a faster way to prepare and carry out work; the retailer remains responsible for the decisions.
How Do You Get Access?
BLAZE MCP is an add-on, with availability tied to the retailer’s subscription. The product page is the right place to ask about access, supported assistants, and the connection process for your account. Start with one contained workflow, such as finding a slow-moving SKU and reviewing a proposed promotion, before expanding to more locations or teams.
