Hosted for you, or on your own server
With MCP Hosted we run the server for you, hosted in Germany. With MCP Self-hosted it runs in Docker on your own server and your login details stay there.
Compare MCP Hosted and MCP Self-hosted
How do you connect Claude to Lightspeed?
You add the Lightspeed add-on to MCP Hosted or MCP Self-hosted. Then you create an API key and secret in your Lightspeed eCom shop and paste them in My Account. From then on Claude can read your shop through MCP, the open standard that lets an AI assistant work with other software.
What can Claude do with your Lightspeed shop?
Claude reads products, variants, categories, brands, orders, customers and coupons. You ask in your own words, for example:
Can Claude change anything in my shop?
No. The Lightspeed add-on only reads. It has no way to change orders, products or prices, so there is no setting to get wrong. That makes it a calm first step for a shop owner who wants answers from sales data.
What do you need?
- A Lightspeed eCom (C-Series) shop and access to its settings.
- An API key and secret from that shop, and the region of your shop: Europe or the United States.
- A seat on MCP Hosted, or MCP Self-hosted, with the Lightspeed add-on.
The Lightspeed setup guide shows where to find the key and secret.
What does it cost?
On MCP Self-hosted the Lightspeed add-on is a yearly price per license. On MCP Hosted you add it to your seat for a monthly amount. The pricing page shows both.
Frequently asked questions
No. Skills are separate, free downloads — no license or entitlement required.
Yes, per tool and per seat. You choose read-only or Can make changes for each tool when you add a seat in My Account → MCP Self-hosted. Every tool defaults to read-only except Brain, which can make changes from the start. See entitlements vs tool modes.
Yes. Copy the whole install folder, including ./state, and the activation moves with it, because the instance id lives in that folder. On a fresh install, release the old activation on the Activations tab first, then refresh the license on the new server. Activations without a check for 30 days are released automatically. See MCP license management.
Not once delivery has started. EU consumers normally have 14 days to withdraw. Licenses for MCP Self-hosted, add-ons and extra seats are delivered as soon as the order is paid, and at checkout you agree to that and confirm that the right of withdrawal ends with it. The right of withdrawal form lists any order that still qualifies. Business orders cannot be withdrawn through the form.
Just MCP Self-hosted plus whichever add-ons you actually need. Tools you haven’t licensed simply aren’t loaded or exposed to your AI client.
Add a Seat from My Account → MCP Self-hosted. Each Seat gets its own token and can be scoped to only the tools that teammate needs.
MCP Self-hosted costs € 217,80 excl. VAT: € 180,00 per year. Add-ons start from € 72,60 excl. VAT: € 60,00 per year and differ in price. Each line on a license, MCP Self-hosted, every add-on and every extra seat, is its own yearly recurring payment through Mollie with its own renewal date. Some products can be billed monthly, with a 12-month minimum term. The pricing calculator adds up a setup for you.
VAT is calculated at checkout from your billing details. A business in the EU with a valid VAT number gets reverse charge, so enter that number at checkout. For a question about the VAT on an existing order, use the contact form and include the order number.
MCP Self-hosted includes 3 seats and 1 activation. One server can serve three people or devices, each with their own token. A fourth identity needs an extra seat at € 18,15 excl. VAT: € 15,00 per year. A second container on the same license is refused until you release the first activation. MCP seats explains tokens, labels and limits.
MCP Self-hosted sends a small diagnostics payload with every license check, so we can see which version runs and whether checks succeed. It contains no data from your tools, inbox, store or database. MCP diagnostics lists exactly what is sent and what you see in My Account.
Nothing breaks immediately. Your server keeps running on its last successful entitlements for a 96-hour grace period before anything is restricted.
A failed charge puts the line on Payment issue and everything keeps working. If it is still unpaid after 7 days, the line is suspended. For the MCP Self-hosted line that blocks every tool call. A cancelled line runs until the end of the period you paid for and then stops. A suspended license gets no 96-hour grace period; that only covers a server that cannot reach AddoCore. Details are in MCP license renewal.
An activation is one running MCP Self-hosted server. A seat is one person or device that connects to it, with its own token, its own tools and its own setting per tool: read-only or Can make changes. One license can have several seats against a single activation. See MCP seats.
Entirely on your own infrastructure — a Docker container you host yourself. Nothing about a tool call routes through a third-party cloud.
