Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

FAQ

Questions Lightspeed Restaurant L-Series owners ask.

  • 01

    Is this for Lightspeed K-Series?

    No, this MCP is specifically for the L-Series (resto-api) platform. If you use K-Series, you must use the dedicated K-Series connector.

  • 02

    How do I know if I have L-Series or K-Series?

    Check your login. If you log in through the Restaurant back office, you are using L-Series. If your credentials come from the K-Series Developer Portal, you are on K-Series.

  • 03

    Can the AI see my actual sales figures?

    Yes, your agent can access sales reports, product sales, and individual receipt data through the provided capabilities.

  • 04

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using it.

  • 05

    Can I manage multiple restaurant locations?

    Yes, the list_establishments capability allows your agent to access data for linked locations in a multi-site group.

  • 06

    What is the difference between L-Series and K-Series?

    They are two separate Lightspeed Restaurant products with completely different APIs. L-Series uses the resto-api (lightspeedapis.com/resto). K-Series uses api.lsk.lightspeed.app. Your credentials only work with the matching connector. This connector is for L-Series.

  • 07

    How do I get access to the L-Series API?

    Access to the L-Series API is limited to Lightspeed partners and approved developers. You'll need an OAuth client (Client ID + Secret) issued by Lightspeed. Contact your Partner Manager or Lightspeed support to register a client and provide your redirect URI.
