Developer Project Brief

Claude AI Data Integration - Rodeo Cannabis Co

1625 Silas Deane Hwy, Rocky Hill, CT

Issued: March 2026

Project Overview

Rodeo Cannabis Co is a vertically integrated cannabis operator based in Connecticut. We

cultivate outdoor cannabis, manufacture and distribute wholesale products to dispensaries

statewide, and are opening our first two retail locations (Rocky Hill and Groton, CT).

We use seven core software platforms to manage our business. We are seeking a developer to

build a unified data integration layer that connects all seven platforms to Claude AI (Anthropic),

enabling our leadership team to query live business data, surface insights, and make faster

decisions without manually pulling reports.

Platforms to Integrate

The following seven platforms must be connected. The developer is responsible for researching

each platform's API documentation and obtaining developer access credentials with our

assistance.

Technical Requirements

1. MCP Server (Primary Deliverable)

The core deliverable is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that Claude AI can connect to.

This is the open standard Anthropic uses to allow Claude to query external data sources. The

developer should be familiar with MCP or be willing to learn it quickly.

• Build an MCP server that exposes structured tools for each platform (e.g.,

get_daily_sales, get_wholesale_orders, get_compliance_status)

• The MCP server should be self-hostable on a small cloud instance (e.g., AWS,

DigitalOcean, or similar)

• Claude connects to the MCP server to answer business questions using live or recently

cached data

2. Data Pipeline & Sync

• Pull data from each platform's API on a scheduled basis (configurable - target daily or

hourly syncs per platform)

• Store normalized data in a lightweight database (PostgreSQL or SQLite preferred)

• Handle API rate limits, authentication token refresh, and error logging gracefully

• Provide a simple admin log or dashboard so non-technical staff can confirm syncs are

running

3. Query Capabilities

Once connected, Claude should be able to answer questions such as:

• What were our top-selling products at Rocky Hill last week?

• How do our wholesale order volumes compare month over month?

• What is our current compliance status in BioTrack?

• Which wholesale accounts haven't placed an order in 30+ days?

• What is our manufacturing output vs. sales velocity for each SKU?

• How are our Google review scores trending across locations?

4. Security & Access

• All API credentials must be stored securely (environment variables or a secrets manager

- never hardcoded)

• MCP server should require authentication to prevent unauthorized access

• Data must remain within our controlled infrastructure - no third-party data sharing

Deliverables

1. Working MCP server with tools for all six platforms

2. Automated data sync pipeline with error handling and logging

3. Deployment to a cloud server with setup documentation

4. Simple admin log showing sync status per platform

5. Documentation covering setup, credentials management, and how to add future

integrations

6. 30-day post-launch support for bugs and issues

Timeline & Budget

Phase Scope Est. Duration

Phase 1 API research, credential setup, architecture

design

1 week

Phase 2 Build data pipeline connectors for all 6 platforms 2-3 weeks

Phase 3 Build and test MCP server, connect to Claude 1-2 weeks

Phase 4 Deployment, documentation, and 30-day

support

1 week + 30 days

Estimated Budget: TDB depending on experience and approach. We are open

to milestone-based payment. Please include a detailed breakdown in your proposal.

Ideal Candidate

• Experience building API integrations and data pipelines (Python or Node.js preferred)

• Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or willingness to learn it quickly -

documentation at modelcontextprotocol.io

• Experience with cloud deployment (AWS, DigitalOcean, Render, or similar)

• Strong communication skills - you will work directly with our CEO

• Experience in cannabis tech, retail, or compliance systems is a bonus but not required

• Ability to provide references or examples of similar integration projects
