[PRESS RELEASE] – ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 – BLAZE, the AI-powered cannabis retail platform trusted by thousands of businesses across 20 states, launched BLAZE MCP, the most comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built for cannabis. BLAZE MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible AI assistants to more than 250 operations across BLAZE's point-of-sale, e-commerce and marketing products.
Most AI tools in cannabis retail can see one system. BLAZE MCP reaches the whole store. Because BLAZE builds point-of-sale, e-commerce and marketing on one connected platform, a single conversation can reach pricing and inventory at the register, the online menu, in-store screens and the campaign that brings customers back.
That breadth is matched by depth. More than 140 of BLAZE MCP's operations are actions that make real changes, not just lookups. Operators can mass-edit up to 50 products at once, set VIP and loyalty-tier pricing, receive purchase orders, reconcile batches, redraw delivery zones and diagnose why a product isn't showing online or an order is stuck.
Together, they turn a multitool afternoon into minutes. A store manager can ask which products are moving slowly, discount one while protecting a 30% margin, build the promotion, feature it across every online storefront and in-store displays and launch a campaign announcing it, without leaving the conversation.
"Every cannabis software company is talking about AI. The question operators should ask is what it can actually do," BLAZE CEO Chris Violas said. "BLAZE MCP does the work across the entire store because every piece of it runs on one platform. That depth and breadth is what separates a chatbot from a real member of the team."
Every change BLAZE MCP proposes is previewed and requires human approval before it takes effect, and each step of a multistep workflow is confirmed on its own. The assistant can only access what the user's existing BLAZE role allows, every action is recorded in a full audit trail, and customer data is never used to train AI models. BLAZE designed and built the AI layer in-house on its SOC 2 Type 2 certified platform.
BLAZE MCP is available now as an add-on for BLAZE customers. Learn more at blaze.me/products/mcp.
