🎉 Feature updates

Loomi Connect MCP service (Beta)

We're excited to introduce Loomi Connect MCP (Model Context Protocol), now available in beta. This new integration capability enables large language models to directly access Bloomreach Discovery data through a standardized protocol.

What’s new

  • Direct LLM integration with Discovery: Connect AI applications to access real-time catalog data, execute searches, and retrieve analytics without building custom API integrations.
  • Simplified development workflow: Build AI-powered commerce agents faster with pre-configured MCP server infrastructure. Sample clients for Node.js, Python, and TypeScript accelerate implementation.
  • Multiple integration paths: Choose the integration method that fits your workflow—build custom applications in your development environment, access Discovery data directly within Cursor IDE for AI-assisted development, or prototype quickly using the OpenAI Playground integration.

Why is this valuable

This release marks a significant shift in how businesses can leverage AI for commerce. Instead of treating AI and your commerce data engine as separate entities, Loomi Connect MCP creates a seamless bridge that enables AI models to work with your latest and accurate catalog data.

Whether you're building conversational shopping assistants, automating merchandising tasks, or enhancing customer service, your AI applications now have direct access to the data they need to deliver meaningful results.

Monthly unique visitor metrics in Usage dashboard

Monitor your monthly unique visitor metrics and identify trends with the new Unique visitors dashboard in Discovery.

What’s new

  • New unique visitors dashboard: View your monthly unique visitors across the entire organization with automatic data updates on the second of each month.

  • 24-month historical trends: Analyze visitor patterns with an interactive bar graph that displays two years of monthly data with YoY growth, and color-coded by year for easy comparison.

  • Flexible scope control: Switch between organization-wide metrics and individual account views to analyze visitor data at the level you need.

  • One-click data export: Download monthly visitor data in CSV format for external analysis, reporting, or integration with business intelligence tools.

Why is this valuable

  • This helps you understand the unique visitor traffic on a monthly basis. Customers on an MUV-based pricing plan can use this feature to view their MUV usage and trends over the last 24 months (if applicable).
  • The rolling average of the last three months is used for comparison with the contracted MUVs.

📘

Note

Some metrics like the contracted MUV threshold indicator, and percentage of plan used are only visible to customers on Bloomreach Discovery’s MUV-based pricing plan.

Known issue

Conditional slot merchandising: Due to a bug, we have temporarily removed the UI warning regarding insufficient products that match the conditions to fill in the slots. We'll fix this in an upcoming release.
