What the X1 MCP Can Do

Who this is for

Owners, managers, and admins who want to know which HQ jobs an AI assistant can help with through X1 MCP.

Before you start​

  • Connect an AI assistant to X1 MCP.
  • Confirm the assistant can list the correct brand and shop.
  • Use read-only questions before requesting changes.

Core idea​

X1 MCP turns HQ work into a guided assistant workflow:

  1. Inspect the current setup.
  2. Prepare a proposed change.
  3. Show a preview with before and after values.
  4. Wait for approval.
  5. Apply the approved change.
  6. Verify the result.

Reporting and analysis​

Ask the assistant to review performance without opening multiple HQ reports.

Examples:

  • "Show sales for the last 7 days by shop."
  • "Compare this Monday with last Monday."
  • "Which categories grew the most this week?"
  • "Show item performance for hot drinks."
  • "Find operational exceptions that need attention."

The assistant can summarize sales, trends, period comparisons, item performance, category performance, and operational exceptions.

Use this when you have a menu source in a spreadsheet, PDF, image, or copied text.

Recommended request:

Read this menu and show me the categories, items, prices, modifiers, and combo rules before creating anything in X1.

The assistant can help:

  • read the existing X1 menu structure
  • prepare a structured menu draft
  • validate categories, items, modifiers, and combo rules
  • preview a menu import
  • apply the approved import

Review the preview carefully. Uploaded menu files often contain abbreviations, handwritten notes, or price rules that need human confirmation.

Use this for changes to an existing catalog.

Examples:

  • "Increase all hot drinks by $1."
  • "Set these items as unavailable for online ordering today."
  • "Move these items from Lunch to Dinner."
  • "Compare the menu setup between two shops."
  • "Copy menu configuration from one shop to another after showing me the differences."

The assistant can read items, categories, modifiers, smart categories, and POS menus. It can preview and apply item changes, price adjustments, availability changes, reclassification, and selected bulk menu updates.

Modifiers and combo rules​

Use this when items need choices, add-ons, or meal rules.

Examples:

  • "Create a milk choice modifier group for coffee."
  • "Add a combo rule where any Lunch item includes one hot drink, with $3 extra for iced drinks."
  • "Show which items use this modifier group before changing it."

The assistant can preview and apply modifier group changes and combo rule changes after you approve the result.

Online ordering readiness​

Use this before publishing or troubleshooting customer-facing menus.

Examples:

  • "Check whether this shop is ready for online ordering."
  • "Why is this item not visible online?"
  • "Show missing category, menu, or channel setup."

The assistant can inspect online ordering setup, diagnose menu visibility, check publish readiness, and preview selected online ordering setting changes.

Store and device settings​

Use this for inspection and small controlled changes.

Examples:

  • "Show this shop's store settings snapshot."
  • "Show device settings and terminal configuration."
  • "Rename this cash drawer after showing the current name."

The assistant can inspect store settings, inspect device settings, and preview selected device setting changes such as cash drawer naming.

Background task status​

Some approved changes may run as background tasks.

Ask:

Check the task status and tell me whether the change finished successfully.

Do this before you verify the result in HQ, POS, or online ordering.

When to ask owner/admin​

  • The assistant proposes changes across multiple shops.
  • The change affects live prices, menu visibility, online ordering, payment-related settings, or devices.
  • The preview does not clearly show all affected records.
  • The source menu file is unclear or conflicts with the current HQ setup.
