What It Is

Bridge by Rizolvr is a hosted MCP server for Lightspeed Retail. It is not a standalone chatbot; instead, it connects Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other MCP-compatible AI assistants to a merchant’s POS data, allowing store owners to query customers, inventory, sales, work orders, staff, purchase orders, and more in natural language. The product is built by operators with 15 years of Lightspeed retail experience, and its positioning clearly leans toward specialty retail scenarios such as bike shops.

Core Capabilities

Bridge’s core value is packaging retail business questions into 85+ tools, such as query_workorders, query_inventory_aging, query_top_customers, query_due_for_visit, and query_market_basket. Users can ask questions like “Which products have not sold for a long time but still have reorder points?”, “Which work orders are due this week?”, or “Which high-value customers have not visited recently?”, and the AI assistant will call the relevant queries and summarize the results in natural language. It supports desktop, command-line, and mobile usage, provided the user already has an MCP-compatible assistant.

Security, Integration, and Limitations

The product emphasizes a read-only design: it uses read-only OAuth authorization through Lightspeed, with tenant-isolated databases, hosted on AWS in the United States. Bridge syncs Lightspeed historical data into a private database for each tenant; Standard syncs every 24 hours, while Premium syncs hourly. As a result, it is suitable for reporting and operational analysis, but not for scenarios requiring real-time, second-level inventory decisions. The currently available tiers are read-only, while the Pro plan with read/write access to Lightspeed is still coming soon. The main content does not disclose details on encryption, audit logs, data retention, or compliance certifications.

Pricing

Pricing is transparent: Standard is $39.99/month for the first store and $19.99/month for each additional store; Premium is $59.99/month for the first store and $29.99/month for each additional store; the Pro plan is listed at $99.99/month for the first store but has not yet launched. There are no setup fees, no contracts, and users can cancel, and billing is not based on AI calls or credits. However, the main content does not mention a free trial. Users should also note that they still need to cover the cost of AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini themselves.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are a strong vertical focus, a short onboarding path, and no need to build a BI stack, making it look well suited to single-store or multi-store specialty retailers that already rely heavily on Lightspeed Retail. The drawbacks are also clear: it only serves Lightspeed Retail, Chinese-language support is not specified, output quality depends on external AI assistants, and the sync frequency creates limits on data freshness.

Access from China

The website and service are hosted in the United States, and the main content does not specify accessibility from mainland China, payment methods, or local compliance arrangements, so china_access can only be considered unknown. Chinese users may also be affected by access and payment restrictions for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Alternatives include Lightspeed’s native reporting, SyncHub, general-purpose BI tools, or a self-built MCP/data warehouse connection.
